That was you?? I stream WHO here at work.
I heard the question and heard him trying to hedge on the answer.
He didn’t want to answer, but eventually said that Iran wouldn’t dare use nukes if they got them because of retaliation.
But yes he wouldn’t stop the ship.

I wish the host would have given me more time to engage him. I was not surprised by the answer and was pleased to be able to show him for what he is. Ahmadinejad would probably pick him as our leader even over Kucinich.

So, if he was president back in the early 60’s, he wouldn’t have blockaded Cuba?

That is just scary as hell DFU. Great question to bring some sunlight on his foreign policy thinking, thanks for doing it.

I wanted to challenge him further over Iran's stated goal of destroying Israel, but I was apparently cut off by the host and couldn't do it. Too bad. I wonder what his answer would be if Iran had used those missiles to destroy Israel. Would he retaliate then? Or would he only act if they targeted us?

I would presume he wouldn’t. After all, Cuban hadn’t attacked us yet. He also didn’t want Reagan to put Pershing IIs in Europe.

Mikkelson is a smart guy who knows the Constitution and the ways it is being ignored.
But I almost get the impression he is favoring Paul after hearing him the past few days. A scary thing if true.
Kudos to you calling his show and getting through.

Ronald Reagan and John Kennedy would have boarded and seized the ship or sunk it. Ted Kennedy would have boarded it and joined them for happy hour.

Doug, great work!
There is no question that Paul is completely unqualified to be President.

Ron Paul is a “non-interventionalist”.

OMG THE HORROR! What did Bush do when NK test-fired nuclear weapons? Or when Iranian troops crossed into Iraq and supplied the insurgents with IEDs?
Doug, your game of "gotcha" ain't going nowhere. Enjoy Paul's victory today in Iowa.
To: doug from upland
Doug, we all assumed that Ron Paul was an unqualified nitwit with respect to foreign policy. Thanks for confirming what we instinctively knew.

I wish they would have let me ask it, but I think we know the answer.

” I wonder what his answer would be if Iran had used those missiles to destroy Israel. “
Hands folded; “They didn’t hit us. It’s none of our business.” It’s absolutely consistent with everything I’ve seen about Ron Paul. He’s still living in that Special Wonderland of Isolationism that only childish magical thinking can sustain. It’s grossly irresponsible.
Good job, Doug. Campaigns are for finding out where candidates really stand. Now a lot more people know.
