After the ‘90 to ‘91 war in the Persian Gulf, Ron Paul appeared on the morning talk shows outlining the position that using armored bulldozers and tanks with plow attachments to clear Iraqi trench lines had been tantamount to war crimes. What, we were supposed to charge them on foot and jump in with bayonets and trench knives?
Ron Paul is a bad person, and it takes someone with the same mentality which he displays to defend him.
You are correct. Had my Pauls confused.
RON is a blithering idiot. Rand is OK.
“What, we were supposed to charge them on foot and jump in with bayonets and trench knives?”
If the nation is going to war, we were supposed to have an actual declaration of war by Congress as the Constitution requires, not military action ordered by the President. The joint resolution of Congress in 1991, authorizing the use of troops, after President George H.W. Bush placed 500,000 US troops in the region, did not meet the requirements of the Constitution for a declaration of war.
