“he would allow the world governing power to take over the rest of the world.”


I think you have forgotten who took us to war in Iraq to enforce UN resolutions. Paul wants our President to ask our Congress for a formal declaration of war. Paul may be wrong about a lot of things but he is right about this.

Who voted to approve the war in Iraq? First of all, I was talking about George Soros. The UN resolutions were a result of US pressure. The US went to the UN as part of the PR campaign.

The fact is that we had accomplished just about as much as we were going to in Afghanistan. We had made our point and were ready to greatly reduce our presence in the country. Afghanistan is the true “no-man’s” land, where nothing good happens from staying too long. But..., we still needed to stay in the M.E. to try to quell the growing unrest and destabilization of the area, as well as put a lid on the radical Islamic movement that was determined to wage an ideological and religious war against the west, our economic system and our culture. Saddam was financing and aiding that war against the west.

Obama took us back into Afghanistan and turned a relative success into a failure, with a very high cost in lives and money. Killing Osama does not make up for the loss of lives, money and respect that Obama’s war in Afghanistan has cost us.

Obama’s lack of spine in Iraq has also cost us. The radical Islamists were waging a war against us for years before 9/11 and we reacted like we were swatting at flies. We got their attention in Afghanistan and then tried to stabilize Iraq, with less than perfect results, but to have not tried would have made us look weak and would have simply invited more attacks by the Islamists.

Ron Paul and George Soros want to see a weakened US, with no allies that will rush to our sides because our allies will know that we cannot reciprocate. Ron Paul hates America as much as George Soros does.
