True, but Ron Paul voted for a Resolution advising the President to go after whomever was responsible for 9-11, since nobody was 100% certain exactly which state actors or non-state actors were directly responsible.
The President determined that the Taliban government of Afghanistan was one of the responsible parties, and so "went after" them as instructed by the Resolution. However, various Non-State actors were also involved; and as Ron Paul stated, it's difficult to imagine how to Declare War on a Non-Country. So, Ron Paul supported a Resolution which would authorize military force against Non-State actors as well.
Thanks to you, it didn't blow over but you helped it start to 'boil over' with your innuendo and rubber-stamp repeats of liberal-composed half-truths.
The old saying is that when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. You've done enough damage to his campaign that I am now feeling sorry for him having such pitiful backers.
We attacked the terror regimes in both Afghanistan and Iraq but in Iraq it affected more than just Iraq, remember what happened with Libya the week Saddam was captured.

Iraq is just as much of the WOT as Afghanistan.
For those who think we should not have engaged the Iraq-Libya-Egypt-Iran-DPRK terror regime in Iraq what would you have done instead?
It seems to me Iraq was exactly the right place to crack the Iraq-Libya-Egypt-Iran-DPRK terrorism nut.
"Ron Paul voted for a Resolution advising the President to go after whomever was responsible for 9-11"
Why didn't Ron Paul call for a declaration of war against those responsible for 9/11 if he didn't know at that point (LOL...yeah, right...even I knew and I wasn't in Congress!) that al Qaida (which was openly living in Afghanistan) was behind it?

This shows exactly why we should stay and make/keep it safe so the political debate in Iraq can happen.
It won't happen if we pull out early.
IMO the good guys WILL win the debate, if we stay and help them out.
A 1400 year old mindset doesn't change in a few years.
