Ron Paul is not weak on the WOT. Most conservatives haven’t taken the time to fully understand his position.

You cannot fight a loose collection of thugs that have no direct tie to a nation state as if they were a nation state. When an worldwide estimated 20 thousand thugs can keep your entire army tied up, you are going to lose that conflict because your economy can’t possibly sustain the war.

After 9/11, Ron Paul introduced a bill for a Letter of Marque and Reprisal that was both a constitutional and logically correct way to pursue an organization like Al Qaeda. This strategy would have used our strength — our system of free enterprise — against Al Qaeda. Republicans used to believe in freedom and free enterprise. Bush has treated our freedom as the problem and proceeded to attack it as if somehow Bush attacking our freedom is better than Al Qaeda doing the same. Ron Paul’s strategy would have unleashed the creativity of the United States to pursue Osama bin Laden — almost certainly saving hundreds of billions of dollars and probably actually capturing bin Laden in the process.
