JBS posts are generally discouraged. I’m inclined to let this one stay.

I’m ok with cutting their throats and leaving victorious though.

Last night, our forces combined with Iraqi forces wiped out 32 Mahdi Army scum and captured about a dozen more.

As I type this, another operation appears to have gotten underway, judging by the sounds I am hearing.

This is definitely not the time to quit. So much ground has been gained in just the last few weeks.

Thank you. Won’t happen again.

they have created the impression among many Americans — apparently including Romney — that Saddam Hussein had attacked us on 9/11

Only to those too ignorant to follow a line of reasoning more than 4 words long and that doesn't rhyme.

By interrupting Congressman Paul with his "Has he forgotten about 9/11?" protestation, Governor Romney not only made himself appear less than presidential, he also confirmed that, where Iraq is concerned, he does not know what he’s talking about.

No, he showed that he understands that the 21st Century's biggest threat is non-state actors who receive willing or unwilling support from rougue or hostile regimes to carry out extremely effective 4th generation or asymmetric warfare against the US and it's allies. Anyone who doesn't understand that the shocking lesson of 9/11 is about more than any one man or one organization or one government is stuck in the 19th Centuy.

Nuff said. It's more productive to go back to that off-topic Civil War debate from yesterday. Unless someone wants to talk evolution vs creationism ;^)
just kidding folks...

And Mitt Romney was wrong when he interrupted him.

Anyone who interrupts Ron Paul is RIGHT.

[LibLieSlayer]

He, like his allies on the left and loony (far) right (buchananites etc), wish to wait until the terrorists are killing in the streets of America.

Good news and stay safe.

I think I'm going to pass on pinging to JBS writing. JBS, over the years, attracted so many conspiracy mongers, survivalists, etc. that despite the fact that they ejected such persons on a regular basis, they acquired a reputation as kooks. It's a shame because they were, in truth, such a hardcore anticommunist organization during most of the Cold War.

They are correct in the article though. Romney was demonstrating he either believes in or wishes to disingenuously peddle a connection between Saddam and 9/11.

Good call...

Ron Paul’s “just war” terminology is a coward’s excuse to avoid defending the nation.
Paul is dangerously incompetent, and UNFIT TO COMMAND!

Paul will neither defend his country, nor will he uphold our military alliances.
Only fools worship at the altar of Ron Paul.

[CJ Wolf]

I think he’d defend this country.

[mnehring]

I think he would sit in the oval office spinning his chair around because he couldn’t find the words ‘football’ or ‘red phone’ in the Constitution.

[Cyclops08]

with what? Letters of the Marque? Pirates?
Don’t make me laugh.

“Romney was demonstrating he either believes in or wishes to disingenuously peddle a connection between Saddam and 9/11.”

Actually to be fair to Romney, he didn’t get a chance to explain that remark. It could have meant that he agrees with the preemptive war policy Bush has set and that taking out Saddam was a way to prevent future 9/11s or he could believe that Saddam was responsible for 911, when we all know it was the Chinese. ;-)

Oh brother.

[CJ Wolf]

I think he’d secure the border. I think he’d respond with overwhelming force to any attacks. I think he’d disregard the UN, when we need to declare war. And yes he’d use the Letters of Marque to equip and fund private death squads to attack our enemies. I think he’d surprise you.

You stay safe..

Remember, to Paulistineans there is no guilt by association regardless of whom that association is with. That’s rule one in their cult handbook.

Thank you very much LLS. Just showing simple and proven facts to some people who do not want the hear the truth, the Paulestinians.
