American Values?
During the Iraq war, American troops were instructed to use specially equipped tanks to bulldoze the trenches that held Iraqi soldiers- Not a single American was hurt, so meager was the resistance. Thousands of Iraqis, teenagers coerced into the army by the dictator Hussein, were buried alive, while the unprecedented military tactic was hidden from the public through media censorship. Captain Benny Williams, who Led the charge was awarded the Silver Star for his role. Also hidden: the apparent fact that many of the rag-tag teenage soldiers were trying to surrender as they were entombed.
If you have trouble finding a place to host them, let me know and I’ll see if I can help you out.
‘lying sniviling traitor’ huh? how many insults can you fit in one sentence? lol
I think looking back we can all agree that something was wrong with the first invasion of Iraq. That American ‘intervention’ has apparently come back to haunt us and Paul’s criticism of that war has, in retrospect, proved to be correct. That said, I disagree with Paul’s angle of attack in this piece, a rare occasion where he truly does adopt leftist rhetoric. He’d be better off sticking to his principles of nonintervention rather than going down the same road as Michael Moore.
“That American ‘intervention’ has apparently come back to haunt us”
And sitting by while Iraqis raped, murdered, and pillaged their way across Kuwait, eyed the Saudi peninsula, and supported terror would have gotten us what exactly?
Yes, Saddam supported terror.
One of my favorite places on the planet. I didn't know you had such great taste. I could eat at Zi'Ntonios every single day of my life were I allowed to do so.
I thought the whole idea in a war was to kill the otherside. If this has changed, I didn’t get the memo.
Additionally, I can virtually guarantee you that either/both of the following high traffic conservative sites would be absolutely ecstatic to host 'em, if asked to do so:
The only thing ‘wrong’ with the first WAR with Iraq was that we didn’t kill Saddam.
Get it right, we did NOT ‘invade’ Iraq, we liberated Kuwait from Iraqi invasion.
Saddam didn’t decide to cease hostilities and sign a surrender agreement until we were almost at his front door.
I will send you PDFs as soon as I get them. I want everyone to have this stuff.
Give me a link, not just your word.
TK, I think this is a step forward, admitting he is on the same road as Michael Moore.
Well done LSU and Go Ducks!! Hope we get to play you for the NC. Would be a classic.
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Thanks. I’ll forward to Chris Peden’s campaign.
Why?? Would you be surprised with the little traitor??
Pray for W and OUr Freedom Fighters
I’m willing to admit when I think Paul is wrong. Are you willing to admit when he is right?
BTW, do you have the one where Paul makes all those racial insults like the ones under the headline “Terrorist Update,” Paul reported on gang crime in Los Angeles and wrote, “If you have ever been robbed by a black teenaged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be.” About blacks in Washington, D.C., Paul wrote, “I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.”
He originally made the excuse his comments came in the context of “current events and statistical reports of the time,” but later changed that to say someone else wrote it and it wasn’t appoved.
I’m beginning to believe that nearly all American interventionalist foreign policy of the past 50 years has resulted in general unfavorable consequences.
I don’t think it is our ‘duty’ to ‘liberate’ third world dictatorships from other third world dictatorships around the world.
What about WWII?
