This was taken right off Ron Pauls website about Iraq

RP- The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information.

Ron Paul only seems interested in false information and not facts

RP- The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it.

Not true at all. The surge is working and we are mainly fighting Al Qaeda and foreign insurgents in Iraq.

RP- We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them.

Not true at all. Al Qaeda and KSM had 3 separate training camps in Iraq before we invaded working with Iraqi intelligence.

RP- This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars.

How much did all of these cost America?

"How much did all of these cost America?"

Are you assuming all those terrorist attacks just came out of the blue?

Have you considered what has been driving our foreign policy for the past 80 or so years? IMO, when looking at something like our foreign policy, we should consider the historical aspects of it and not just the latest developments.

By concentrating on only the latest dozen or so terrorist activities, you may lose track of the big picture, and the real enemy.
