You MUST be talking about president Bush...

No, he's talking about this: Ron Paul: Give Peace a Chance-no possible reason to ever launch military action or initiate a war.

Ron Paul: "'There's nobody in this world that could possibly attack us today,' he said in the interview. 'I mean, we could defend this country with a few good submarines. If anybody dared touch us we could wipe any country off of the face of the earth within hours.'" and: "'The thought that the Iranians could pose an imminent attack on the United States is preposterous,' he said Tuesday night. 'There's no way.'"

Now do you agree that there is no way anyone has the ability to attack America today?

If a country in that region of the world were to launch a massive attack against the oil terminals where we buy so much of the stuff, it would be a de facto attack against us.

So many US haters say that this or that action is "all about oil." A more patriotic way of putting it is that "it's all about protecting free trade with our partners."

We use almost all of the oil we can produce or buy...if we were to lose 10% or more of it our economy and way of life would crumble...sort of like if we were to lose a war.
