From The Ron Paul Political Report, October 15 1991
American Values?
During the Iraq war, American troops were instructed to use specially equipped tanks to bulldoze the trenches that held Iraqi soldiers- Not a single American was hurt, so meager was the resistance. Thousands of Iraqis, teenagers coerced into the army by the dictator Hussein, were buried alive, while the unprecedented military tactic was hidden from the public through media censorship. Captain Benny Williams, who Led the charge was awarded the Silver Star for his role. Also hidden: the apparent fact that many of the rag-tag teenage soldiers were trying to surrender as they were entombed.
I totally agree. They are the personification of the Rockefeller wing. And from the moment GHWB got in...he got rid of every Reaganite. And when GWB got in he and Rove systematically attacked and undermined all real conservatives in the states and for congress...an ideological war that the msm and rinos were complicit with.
“Captain Benny Williams, who Led the charge was awarded the Silver Star for his role.”
Finally Bush relented enough to send over C-130's and drop pallets of food and water on isolated Kurd settlements. I vividly recall seeing tape of these skids crashing to the ground, landing on people's houses, and people, for that matter. It was a freaking disaster of an operation, and an international embarrassment.
This was the time when they began the "no fly zones" incidentally, which later turned out to mean little enough
No, Bush cobbled together a coalition of collective security forces, in the vacuum of the recently collapsed USSR when we stood unchallenged in the world, and that was the easy part. The aftermath was a mess and Bush was nothing to be proud of.
Holy cow, I was worried about you.
Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing in any of the various Hague and Geneva Conventions that requires an offer of surrender to be accepted. It is usually US policy to do so, but that policy can be suspended.
why is this crucial information about Paul coming out so late in yhr Primary campaign.
If this is true he needs to get out now.
You have precisely summed up that entire debacle regarding the Kurds and how Poppy Bush screwed the pooch.
... and that only counts the things he has put in writing.
The aftermath for them was a mess. We did fine out of it. Apart from wear-and-tear on equipment and troop casualties, we broke even financially on Desert Storm, thanks to hard-nosed negotiations conducted by Jim Baker over allied financial contributions. Iraqi Freedom has cost us $1T and counting. It has also cost the GOP some serious political capital. While the Iraqi Freedom was cheap in relation to previous wars as a % of GDP and in terms of troop casualties, it was no Desert Storm.
Convince everyone Ron Paul is a crazy, racist, senile old man. All his supporters are dirty hippies that are all on drugs and are anti-Semite wackos.
Get the word out that voters in Iowa should vote for anyone they want, EXCEPT FOR Ron Paul. If they vote for him, the state will be a disgrace and the rest of America will hate Iowa forever.
If he wins, it will not even matter! The Republican leaders will ignore him and his crazy anti-American supporters and focus on the second and third place candidates.
Make sure that all media reporting includes the following: "There is no way Ron Paul will be the nominee. Remember you will be informed at the proper time who to support. (Remember McCain was broke around the NH primary and that didn't matter, it was his turn. You all did well supporting the Maverick.)
Drugs, never once forget Drugs, Ron Paul wants your children to use them! He want to flood the streets with released addicts and pushers along with TONS of cocaine. He really does love Heroin.
Remember, Your vote will only matter when you vote for who we choose, we know what is best for you! Relax, the Republicans have it all under control!
Bet it's you instead. You sound like the bottom of the barrel. If everyone on the field marching were in step but you you'd be the only one that was right huh?
Here come the PaulTards!!
Thanks mnehring.
Thank God wisdom reaches some people and saves them from their own ignorance. Have a Merry Christmas. I see you get it! :)

If any Iraqi troops were still in the trenches and bunkers, than they weren’t trying to surrender either. They were active enemy soldiers.
