“George Bush was not afraid to defend us from the terrorist threat. Appeasement Paul’s policy is appease, appease, and appease some more. Then when that no longer works he just wants to surrender.”
Bush was stupid enough to push the line that “Islam is a religion of peace.” He did no service to us by pushing that lie. He spent hundreds of billions of dollars of our money in “nation-building” in the Middle Eastern hellholes that hate us—building roads, schools, water plants, etc. (at our expense) to “win their hearts and minds.” Our tax money was wasted. They still hate us and we are still unsafe. I don’t call that defending us from terrorist threats.
If Bush wanted to defend us from terrorist threats, he would have closed our borders on Sept. 12, 2001, booted out of our country Mohammedans who don’t belong here (most of them don’t belong here), and stopped further immigration to our country of Mohammedans. In addition to these domestic measures, he should have ordered the bombing of any sites deemed appropriate to take out terrorists. It would be fine with me if he wiped out large swaths of of their countries.
But instead he chose a policy of a decade long occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan that has helped bankrupt us and put our brave troops in unnecessary danger.
Paul’s policy regarding the Mohammedan threat is deranged. Bush’s was just plain stupid.
