The Gulf of Tonkin comment is hard to top, but I imagine he'll find a way to do it.
And to Paul's acolytes - do you people really think Iran is not a threat to U.S. interests? That we should just let Iran be?
Just curious.
Some are afraid, tired of war/deaths, confused and not sure if we can win, RP offers shelter, and rationalizations to run.
(Its just that simple)
In the world that the RPbots live in if the U.S. would just pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the whole of the middle east, then we would have "peace" from our enemies. There's no understanding of what giving over control of the oil rich middle east region to these terrorist would mean for the rest of the world. No understanding of what our enemies would do with the billions they would generate in oil revenues and use to further their Islamo-facist jihad agenda. Ignorance would turn out to not be bliss I'm afraid.

The problem is that we won’t do it all the way. We’ll half ass it like we did in Iraq. If we could have just let the military do it’s job and canned Bremmer alot sooner we’d have already moved on to Iran, that was the plan all the time but political self interest skewed commitment and now we’re stuck in Iraq.
If we weren’t willing to kill Al Sadr in Iraq, what the heck do you think we’ll do in Iran. Lob some MOABs? Then what will we do when they push out the doctored photos of innocent deaths for the AP to eagerly put on the Front page of every news rag in the world? Stop, find a scapegoat and leave our guys in limbo while the politicians decide who to put on trial in front of Congress and how to spin this to squeeze out more campaign money.
I’d love for us to go into Iran, constitutionally declare war and utterly defeat them, hook up with those inside who want to topple the regime, help those who want to assasinate the Mullahs and hand things over to a secular representative government. We won’t do that though, our politicians are far too concerned about the next election.
So you need to get over it and start looking at how your liberty is being stolen by our Wars On Anything (to get votes, money and federal authority) and make sure that if the Islamofascists come here there’s a Constitutional Republic to defend, or will we be just be defending our “right” to watch porn and american idol and vote for our favorite contestant on Big Brother 28?
