Ron Paul released a statement saying the US planted those launchers to blame Iran.

If so, then Dr, Paul has jumped the shark.

Dr. Paul jumped the shark a while ago when he began his “blame America first” nonsense.
The reason that we do not know if LDSentinal is joking is not only due to his/her evasiveness(lack of sarcasm tag or quotes).
It is because it IS NOT beyond Dr. Paul to say such things. If it is simply a FReeper comment it is funny.
If it is a Paul quote it is par for the course for this Libertarian with a Liberal foreign policy approach.
I can’t believe that fool is a Texan but then again, the state did also produce Ronnie Earle.

Sarcasm based on a previous thread started earlier in the day.

What’s it going to take for the US to hit Iran with a military response?

At this point it appears as if we can only “respond” when we take care of our national security issues.
The Libs are still freaking out that we took out Saddam after 11 years, 17 resolutions, a FINAL Demand by the UN, and authorization of force by the US Congress.
With their partners, the mainstream media, current thinking among many Americans is that we can’t do a damn thing uinless attacked first and it is a damn shame.
I wish President Bush had the stones to be a real cowboy and properly deal with the many transgressions of Iran.

Nah. Ron Paul would not say we planted them, only that we are to blame for those missiles being there since our presence has encouraged the Iraqi freedom fighters.

Here's a fuller report:

US soldiers discovered a field of rocket launchers near a US army base south of Baghdad armed with 34 Iranian-made missiles.

‘After several rockets hit FOB (Forward Operating Base) Hammer on July 11, the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team manoeuvred to find the source of the attack.’

The next morning a UAV located 46 rocket launchers in the northern section of Besmaya Range Complex aimed at FOB Hammer. Thirty-four of the launchers were armed with Iranian 107mm rockets.’

The US army believes the other twelve rockets were launched at the base the day before

Move them close to the Iranian border and start shooting!

As they say in Texas “All hat and no cattle”. I’ve had it with Bush for a lot of reasons.

Rather simple answer, yet I find it to be the perfect solution.

Just make sure we actually tartget Iranian troops and its perfectly fine with me.

Ron Paul has then lost his marbles. He’s headed into Captain Queeg territory. Is anyone running against him in the 2008 primary?
