Ron Paul understands that wars are sometimes necessary, he voted in favor of Afghanistan.
His main question in Congress is to wonder what's wrong with a Constitutional declaration of war, and why is the rest of Congress so afraid of making one?
Afganistan did not stand alone. When we drove the scum out they went to Iraq for medical treatment and revival. The Northern part of the nation had its very own al Queda offshoot. If Paul does not understand this simple fact he is indeed unjustifiably ignorant.
There is no Constitutional format for a declaration of war. Congressional legislation approved the war. This is a deceptive objection. And I have heard him express other reservations most based upon an isolationist view of the world. Not a realistic one.
Wars are sometimes necessary and Ron Pauls conception of foreign policy is ludicrous and indistinguishable from that of your typical RAT.
Actually, the mainline GOP has a foreign policy indistinguishable from the Democrats....., neither believe in the constitution, but insist that Congress fund “military actions” in lieu of declaring war.
This idiocy gets us into interminable, feckless, reckless, “make it up as you go” military conflicts. Checked out G. Washington’s farewell address to congress lately?
