You support a candidate that acts as if the jihadist will just ‘stop’ if we only ‘make nice with them’.
Two points:
‘1. I never said that I supported Ron Paul’s presidency.’
You didn’t have to.
“2. Ron Paul never said to my knowledge that the jihadits would “stop” if we only “make nice with them.””
He says this is a direct result of our policies over the past decade in the Middle East. Ergo, we do as they desire (make nice) and they’ll stop.
bin Laden declared this week we need to rid ourselves of ‘democracy’ to end this war he has declared on us three or more times since the mid 1990’s.
You can’t have it both ways, nor can Ron Paul. And again, you cannot negotiate with religious fanatics, be they Islamic Fundementalists or snake handlers in eastern Kentucky.
Ron Paul wants to ‘withdraw’. Okay, then what? The terrorists are not going to stop. Whats next in Ron Paul’s grand strategy here?
I know! I know! {waving hand frantically in the air...}
A big ol' SHRIMP BOIL party!
Gee I don’t know, maybe worry about securing this country, and worry about them when they have the ability to strike with more than an AK 47 and a scud missile. Then they can get back to doing what they do best, killing each other.
