Paul was actually on my list until he basically said in the debate that Iran could have nukes.

Yeah, me too. The irony of it all is that Paul was actually just being honest, from the USA's point of view anyway. Because the USA will do nothing to stop Iran from having nukes, and everybody knows it. And by doing nothing, that's pretty much like saying it's OK.

But saying it so openly was a mistake. It's always good to keep your enemy guessing as much as possible.

I have to agree. Iran will probably have nukes before the next President can do anything about it. My problem with Paul is that he is so isolationist. Yes, Libya is a mistake, but Iran declared WAR on us decades ago. Why we haven’t and still don’t knock them over like Iraq escapes me. Failing to confront bullies only encourages them.
