Those words better describe George W. Bush, and not that coward and "blame America" wacko Ron Paul.

They most definitely describe GWB as well. But they also apply to Ron Paul. I am sure GWB had good intentions in invading Iraq...but I think it was ill advised...there were high level officials in his Administration who had been advocating an invasion of Iraq since the mid-1990's...not because of any alliance between Al Qaeda and Saddam...but because they believed that the US could replace Saddam with a pro-Western regime. After 9/11, these officials saw an opportunity to push the invasion of Iraq even though, in retrospect, Iraq has been so costly and has done little in terms of helping the US defeat Al Qaeda and its ilk

Ron Paul should be applauded for opposing the invasion back in 2003 when that was not a popular position.

"Ron Paul should be applauded for opposing the invasion back in 2003 when that was not a popular position."

Saddam would still be in power to rape and murder the innocent if Ron Paul had his way. Saddam would turn his tyrannical regime over to his maniacal sons to continue the oppression, murder and rape of tens of thousands. Ron Paul should be applauded for that? This is exactly why you Paulnuts and Ron Paul are pissing off the republican base he needs to retain his seat in Congress. Republicans hate this guy and deservedly so. Ron Paul's future is bleak in Congress as a member of the GOP. You all are no different than the Cindy Sheehans of the world. You all are marking yourselves to be shunned and Ron Paul will be.
