During that 2000 debate with Gore, Bush criticized the Clinton administration's intervention in Haiti in 1994, when Aristide was returned to power amid threats of US military action.

"I wouldn't have sent troops to Haiti," Bush said. "I didn't think it was a mission worthwhile. It was a nation-building mission. And it was not very successful. It cost us billions, a couple of billions of dollars, and I'm not so sure democracy is any better off in Haiti than it was before."

I could go on all night. Bush was the anti-war candidate in 2000. In the Republican primary AND in the general election.

You really wish to go out on a limb and attempt to convince us that not wanting to send troops to Haiti is the same thing as pulling support for Israel and the rest of Paul’s isolationist diatribe?
