MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Campaigning in New Hampshire today, Republican Ron Paul says he would lift sanctions on Iran and order the U.S. Navy to pull back from its shores.
Paul says if the U.S. relieved pressure on Iran, people would breathe a sign of relief, interest rates probably would not go up and oil prices probably would drop.
Speaking in Manchester, Paul said the Bush administration has been looking for war with Iran.

Well, I would point out how rude it is to quote another FReeper without pinging them (as you did with WPTG) and suggest that if you want to continue to claim to be civil that you start doing so in the future. But, I see that you've been banned, so I'll just say good riddance.
As I see it, they’re just different branches of the same tree. The end result of failure in Iran and/or Pakistan is the same: nuclear weapons in the hands of murderous Islamist fanatics.
Want to take a bet?
Ron Paul is a bigger idiot than Jimmy Carter, because at least Paul had Carter’s mistakes to learn from, but chooses not to.
I do not want people in California telling us NC voters how to live and vice versa.
We in Texas' 14th feel the same way about NC voters.
I didn’t tell you or anyone else how to vote, I just asked if you wanted to take a bet on whether Ron Paul would win in ‘08 for his congressional district. I’d be happy to pocket any money you’d be willing to bet.
Does he not remember why there were sanctions in the first place?
This man gets worse with each passing day - and there are still those who will defend him. On another thread, someone actually posted that his fundraising numbers excused his hypocrisy on the issue of earmarks. There is nothing they won’t defend.
