I don’t mind that you don’t like Paul..and I’m not exactly a full-blown supporter. That being said, When I listen to him, I don’t think he wants to gut our defense...I think last night he said he wants a strong national defense. I just don’t think he wants to be all over the world in hassles that amount to U.S. money being spent, our soldiers blood being spilled and yet it’s not a war.
I don’t have any doubt that Paul would go to war. But that’s the key..I think he will demand that troops be sent with a fully declared war.
I agree. That is pretty much what I heard him say..
“When I listen to him (Ron Paul), I don’t THINK he wants to gut our defense...I THINK last night he said he wants a strong national defense. I just don’t THINK he wants to be all over the world in hassles that amount to U.S. money being spent, our soldiers blood being spilled and yet it’s not a war.”
That’s the big problem with Ron Paul. His replies are basically incoherent ramblings. You have to GUESS what he said.

OK, then. Problem is....if we don't have bases around the world and our military is contained within our borders, what are the conditions of a constitutionally declared war?
Seems to me we, Israel, or another ally have to suffer a domestic catastrophe.....possibly nuclear, first.
That's an unacceptable price for being "right" constitutionally. That's especially true when you're dealing with a fanatical death cult regime whose goal is hastening the return of a non-existent well-dweller by setting the world on fire.
