I’m amazed that Ron Paul claimed he understands the Taliban’s motives. He’s separated from reality. I think he sees the world not as it really is but through ideological blinders, and his sort of ideology could get a lot of people killed.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

This small statement of idiocy on Ron Paul’s part was overlooked because of all the other idiotic statements he makes. For instance, he wants zero percent income tax? He said that in the debate. Yes, I would like to see lower taxes, but zero??? Unless he’s got a plan out there for a national sales tax I’m unaware of, exactly how does he plan to raise the funds to run necessary government functions? Does he seriously believe that taxes on imports and tarrifs would raise those funds?

I think he’s smoking some of that stuff he claims should be legalized....

The Taliban is as welcoming to foreigners as the friendly Afghan people has always been. And no doubt we will succeed in making over Afghanistan in our democratic freedom loving image. Maybe the British Empire and the USSR failed in Afghanistan but we shall surely succeed. After all, we have tons of money to spend.

Whatever failings Ron Paul has in foreign policy pales to insignificance compared to the comedy/tragedy of Afghan errors produced by America's three stooges, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and current President Obama.

Ron Paul, M.D. is an academic elitist and needs a real education. Medical schools are the ultimate academic ivory tower. Ron Paul’s disease can be cured with the longest, most expensive learning curve that will kill us all.

I'm a Ron Paul supporter and I wish he would not apologize for the Taliban. They are despicable in innumerable ways (pedophilia, abuse of women, murder of Christian converts, drug production and trade) and they are financially exploiting our military and it's supply line via the jingle truck protection racket. While feigning hatred and jihad toward the "foreign infidel" on their soil, they are tapping us for every penny they can get.

For anyone who has been following Afghanistan, you would know that part of the current strategy of Obama and our military leaders is to negotiate with the Taliban. Did you notice how strangely gracious the Taliban spokemen were about the urination incident? They quickly assured the world that it would not harm negotiations???

Whatever you can say about Dr. Paul, you can bet that he has absolutely no desire to negotiate with them. It is obvious that he wants to extract us from that tar baby as quickly our servicemen can fly out of there since there is nothing to gain there at all.

Ron Paul’s Absurd ‘Golden Rule’

[USS Alaska]

Nevertheless, while a number of the Taliban’s eventual founders were veterans of the anti-Soviet jihad, the fact is that the Taliban was not established as an organization until 1994. That is five years after the Soviet Union skulked out of Afghanistan and three years after it collapsed.

Do not let facts get in the way of rupaul's story.

The man has a good idea when it comes to fiscal policy, but no understanding at all of foreign policy.

All of you mean people don't get it. Dr. Paul was a combat OBGYN who actually delivered the Taliban and Osama himself, right after he gave the Founding Fathers their first pap smear. All of you must hate the Constitution to disagree with Paul. He is known as the "Ministry of Truth" and if he says it, it must be true. We are not at war with Oceania, errr.... I mean the Taliban.

Do not argue with Tehran Ron
