This is what you said that he said.

US caused millions of deaths in Iraq.

This is what he said:

"contributed to more than over 1,000,000 deaths in Iraq."

That is not the same thing.

I see that this view matters little to you, though.

Yes because Iraq is not the end all. Decreasing government spending, power and military forces all over the world are far more important to me. He is in favor of all 3. Just because I disagree with him 1 time out of a 100, doesn't change the fact that he's still overall one of the best congressmen in the country.

I think there are overriding issues and attitudes that outrank others and are litmus test like.

Saying the US contibuted to the deaths of over 1 million Iraqis passes the line by far. It is so far out any way it is cut that it completely destroys any credibility Ron Paul might have.

And, BTW, latching on to contributing vs caused is weaseling. Paul uses weasel words like any other pol.
