Such vitriol on this post!
No refutation of his statements, though.
The truth is that the US has been dickin’ Iran around since Mossadegh nationalized British Petroleum’s assets in 1953. In comes the Shah, our friend. He turns bloody repressive on his own people, but what the heck! He’s our guy! Carter abandons him; we get Kohmenie’s bunch. Meanwhile, Saddam is next door doing our bidding, spending years at war with Iran. Good boy, that Saddam. Whoops! He invades Kuwait. We whack him once, but leave him in power. After 9/11 we whack him again, and string him up.
Face it: the US is the bully boy in the middle east, in a global quest to assure and control the flow of oil.Turn the table around for a moment. Would you put up with 1/10th the meddling in our national affairs if those shoes were on your feet?
The truth sucks when your nationalist pride gets tweaked by inconvenient facts. Screw the Middle East; bring our men and women of the Armed Forces home.
Boy, you Paultards have no clue, do you? All of you are as nuts as your cult leader and VERY dangerous. Do you honestly think Iran is disrupting the oil supply because we are in the Middle East? Or, perhaps, do they realize that by doign this they control the cost of petroleum which benefits them politically, monetarily and politically? which on makes more sense?
Right. So we let Iran close the Straits of Hormuz and choke off our oil. We let them develop nukes which they will launch against Tel Aviv. Israel will nuke Iran and the entire middle east is radioactive, including the oil. All so Ron Paul and his followers can be “isolationists.” Thats not a foreign policy. Thats plugging your ears and closing your eyes to make the problem go away. Paul is not qualified to be president.
Right, Iran is the bully. They stole British assets. They took our people hostage. We didn’t do anything to them other than exist.
