If it's shooting, it's a war. Semantics, schmenatics. Regardless of what the Paulistas think, there is NOT a Constitutional requirement that something be called a "declaration of war" before it is legitimate. If Congress "authorises the use of force" then it's a constitutional war. And we're in a constitutional war in Iraq. Against a bunch of Islamist terrorists who have already told us time and time again that they want to destroy the United States. The only think keeping large numbers of them from infiltrating the USA is the fact that our troops are occupying their mythical "capital of the Caliphate", thus attracting the Islamists to Baghdad so that they can be killed in record numbers.
And Ron Paul opposes all of this.
Ron Paul is a collaborator. When all of this is said and done, the American people will shave his head and parade him through the streets to be ridiculed and mocked, just like those Dutch women who used to sleep with the Nazis.
No more children's chewable paranoia pills for you.
With the benefit of minute hindsight, Saddam Hussein wasnt the kind of extra-territorial menace that was assumed by the administration one year ago. If I knew then what I know now about what kind of situation we would be in, I would have opposed the war. - William F. Buckley, 6/27/04
