We fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here. How many terrorist attacks have been carried out in the U.S. by al Qaeda since 9/11?

If Paul had been president, we never would have invaded Iraq and it would now be a major base for bin laden. Instead we have nearly wiped out al qaeda in Iraq out.
Paul would have relied on privateers to go after bin laden and Afghanistan would still belong to al Qaeda and the Taliban.
I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that one or more of our major cities would have been nuked by now if things had been left in the hands of a president Paul.

We fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here.

Well, that's Bush's reason for staying in after he could no longer talk about WMDs or Saddam. Maybe we should just start colonizing the Middle East, if we have to be there forever, to keep them there.

How many terrorist attacks have been carried out in the U.S. by al Qaeda since 9/11?

None, and certainly all because of Bush's is wisdom to dither around in Iraq. And yet Iraq didn't stop terrorist attacks in Spain or Britain. Nor did has it helped prevent great loss of American life, a weakening of our economy, and our national defense.

Paul would have relied on privateers to go after bin laden

Paul would have used the tool specifically authorized in the Constitution to go after threats like Bin Laden and without sending the whole military overseas to do it. But we used the Bush plan instead, and Bin Laden was never caught, al Qaeda's in out in the mountains of our "ally" Pakistan, and we've been spending the past 6 years wasting our money and defense resources trying to hold two third-world countries together.

How many terrorist attacks have been carried out in the U.S. by al Qaeda since 9/11?

So? How many were carried out in the U.S. before 9/11?

How many people have al Qaeda been responsible for killing before 9/11 and then after 9/11?

If Paul had been president, we never would have invaded Iraq and it would now be a major base for bin laden.

And you know this because . . . ? That doesn't follow since Iraq was not a major base for bin Ladin before 9/11. There's no reason to suppose that it would have become one after 9/11.

Paul would have relied on privateers to go after bin laden . . .

You mean privateers like the ones we are currently using from Blackwater, Inc.?

I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that one or more of our major cities would have been nuked by now if things had been left in the hands of a president Paul.

I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say you have been scared witless by a group of people that make the Amish look technologically advanced.
