Congressman Paul, do you believe the president needs authorization of Congress to attack strategic targets in Iran, nuclear facilities? -- Mr. Paul: Absolutely. This idea of going and talking to attorneys totally baffles me. Why dont we just open up the Constitution and read it? Youre not allowed to go to war without a declaration of war. What part of this do you disagree with?

The part I disagree with is after that...where Ron Paul says we haven’t been attacked by another country in 200 something years. Read History. Pearl Harbor.

"Why dont we just open up the Constitution and read it? Youre not allowed to go to war without a declaration of war. " You left out the rest of Paul's answer:
"...as far as fleeting enemies go, yes, if there's an eminent attack on us, we never had that attack in 220 years."
Of course you now know Paul forgot Pearl Harbor. But he also forgot the War of 1812, the Mexican attacks that precipitated the Mexican-American War, the Seminole attacks that led to the Seminole Wars... But Paul's policy positions require him to know little American history.
