Paul Right, Romney Wrong on Iraq and 9/11

Is the subject of this thread Paul, Romney, or Birch?

[mnehring]

Actually, that is a complete myth. Read Tommy Frank's book and the military staffing reports. After the war started in Iraq, the number of troops hunting in Afghanistan went up. As Tommy Franks put it, we just ran out of things to bomb.

Now, unless Ron Paul thinks he knows more or better than Tommy Franks about the first hand situation in the fight, he really need to get a clue.

We had AlQeda in Florida, but there were no Al Qeda in Iraq.

Repeat until believed.

[EDINVA]

” ...the impression among many Americans ... that Saddam Hussein had attacked us on 9/11 ...”

and the same folks who buy that also believe the CIA spread AIDS in the black commmunity and/or that the US government itself actually plotted the 9/11 attacks. No accounting for what folks will believe.

We heard Ron Paul say it was the Jews fault we went into Iraq over and over again during the debate... ok he used the word “neocon” but ask any Bircher and they will tell you that neocon==Jew. Glad Ron Paul and his feathered friends got together finally.

What I am still baffled at is why so many Freepers still are trying to defend Ron Paul? Do that many Freepers want to legalize drugs?

Al Queda was in Iraq before 9/11 and many fled to Iraq after 9/11. The level of cooperation (State Sponsorship) is in question, but it's the MSM that perpetrated the lie that there is no connection at all. (Sort of like Hilary's statement that there were no WMD's in Iraq)

About 1/3 of Al Queda fled to Iran including Osama's son and heir apparent. I wish we would invade Iran.

I think Saddam needed to come down, regardless if he was involved in 911 or not.

[mnehring]

The truth is the truth, no matter who proclaims it.

..and if someone has a history of spreading myth after myth after myth, with very few of their predictions shown to be truth, what is the chance they are proclaiming the truth now? (For the record, I'm a former John Birch Society member.)

DAMN...

Tech control, capture "The-Victor’s" ip, triangulate and forward coordinates...

Command, deploy the hit squad and coordinate with tech... Priority Alpha...

[RatsDawg]

Agree with you 100%!

[CJ Wolf]

Supposed to be paul and romney, but I have no control over any other direction this takes. It might end up being a shrimpfest.

What I am still baffled at is why so many Freepers still are trying to defend Ron Paul?

Many have been tricked into thinking he is the only(sic) 'true Conservative' or Constitutionalist in the race.

[SlowBoat407]

How’s life in Al Finbar?

[bnelson44]

“Is the subject of this thread Paul, Romney, or Birch?”

Ron Paul believes in the same thing as the Birchers so it hardly matters.

[ex-snook]

Everyone knows that on 9/11 AQ and bin Laden were not in Iraq. Romney just thought this ‘boob bait for the bubbas’ would go over well as a pro-war fund raiser.

[samtheman]

Bush never said Saddam participated in 9/11.

But this much I’m sure of:

If Saddam was still in power, there would be a whole lot of big-ticket, state-sponsored, ready-for-export terrorist plotting, planning and conspiring going on in Iraq today.

Instead, the terrorists are fighting for their lives, and dying in droves.

[ejonesie22]

Well you see there are facts, and there is the truth. The facts are just something the Neocons/Jews/Santa use to warp our minds...

[ejonesie22]

Oh no, its true. Mother Cindy told me...

[Allegra]

What are you doing awake?

Reading my Harry Potter book and dreaming of my upcoming vacation. I'm about to turn in. ;-)

[bassmaner]

I am a libertarian and want to legalize drugs, but I sure as hell don’t support Ron Paul and his ‘cut and run’ bullshiite.
