Let’s drop the Big One and see what happens (they all hate us anyhow!)
No halt on bombing until we bomb the Dems. After they surrender we can talk about it.
As the article notes. Some of the most hawkish Senators are the two newbs from New England, and McCain proteges - Ayotte and Brown. So that sort of defeats that Paul meme.
Is Rand turning into a Paulbot?
See An American Foreign Policy.
The Clinton/Bush foreign policy, now continued by Obama, was really only a revival of the Dean Rusk foreign policy of the 1960s (See Democracy In The Third World.) It has been an expensive disaster, squandering our wealth, while breeding enemies like cock-roaches. Enough is enough!

less aggressive - good lord
He sounds more like his dad everyday.
Can we pass a federal law stating that 3 generations of political descendants not be allowed to participate in politics or in any governmental jobs?
I think Paul is right on in his very general outline calling for a paradigm shift in thinking, and I hope his candidate of choice, Mitt Romney, is open to it. We have been in a VERY different mindset since 9-11,though, and the people we always assumed we’d be fighting ad infinitum, the “Communists”, have morphed into the new enemy of worldwide Islamic Jihad.
The failure to realize that world for what it is was my main problem with Ron Paul. You can't be the lone pacifist in a rabidly unpacific world. If you are, you certainly won't be one for very long!
I think he has it completely wrong. Bombing is what another country should expect if they act with violence against us or harbor or support those who do. It’s the occupying and nation building that has failed and we might as well give up on.
We’d better bomb those Irani nukers and ICBM’s soon or we won’t be here much longer to discuss Robert Taft.
4 years of protecting the dictators in Iran and their military buildup.
We have been led into danger, great danger.
Our great USAF can take care of the problem and yes, BOMB their nukes and ICBM’s before they use them on us. BOMBING can be a very very very good thing!
(And we should NEVER send our wonderful military into any battles again that we don’t let them WIN! They can WIN, and win quickly, if we only back them instead of impeding them. Nam and Iraq and Afghanistan are NOT the way to use our fine military! But use it on occasion, we must, lest we put ourselves into great peril...as with Iran today.)
Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan - half-assed wars that never end are not the solution.
Mind your own business until struck and then unleash holy hell on the offender - and no Marshall Plan either.
Soon no one will bother us.
Sorry Randy, most Americans don't see it that way and don't know what the hell you're talking about. You shouldn't steal your rhetoric from the commie 'RATS because they're FOS too.
What “aggressive foreign policy” is he talking about? We tried to root out the people who attacked us on 9/11, and then we abandoned that and since Obama’s election have been supporting radical Islam wherever it raises its head.
And in fact, Bush could never have gotten away with the drone attacks Obama and the Dems are using to take out anyone who makes them look bad. And if Bush had had Osama bin Laden assassinated, he’d be in the Hague Court now.
So maybe Rand Paul should think again about who’s doing the “bomb everybody” routine.
Meanwhile, Barbara Boxer beat Carly Fiorina by ten points and a million votes in 2010. Dianne Feinstein beat Dick Mountjoy by more like twenty-five points and two million votes in 2006. And Ron Paul had two hundred thousand votes, roughly, in this last primary. Explain to me how that math works, Rand.
Obama is pushing for ZERO nuclear weapons in the US arsenal. He’s shooting for 300 for now and has pretty much taken off the table ever considering their actual use in a response to the United States getting hit.
Maybe Rand can take pointers from Liberal elitest professors. After all, they have high dollar edumacations.
The enemy wears burkas for a reason. Let god sort them out..
