“Actually *declaring* war would be a start.”

But Ron Paul didn’t want to declare war on AlQaeda either. He wanted to issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal.

We don't declare war on ideologies or cliques. Wars are decleared, by definition, on nation states.

You can't declare a war on anything except a sovereign country. He voted to authorize the president to invade Afghanistan and take out the Taliban who were harboring and supporting Bin Laden, their old ally from the days of the Soviet invasion.

Ron Paul still supports the effort in Afghanistan and wants to go into the tribal areas of Pakistan to finish off Bin Laden and his top leadership who are almost certainly there.

You might just notice that Giuiliani is now taking that same position. So is the White House in statements just this week.

Too bad they didn't listen to Ron Paul before they made such a complete disaster out of Iraq and got 4000 of our noble troops killed, often from sheer incompetence and Rumsfeld's failure to put enough troops in there to complete their (misbegotten) mission.
