Sorry there Iwo, it is that Ron Paul. He did everything I posted. I was mocking him because he is a pathetic joke.

“There are things in the Constitution that have been overtaken by events, by time. Declaration of war is one of them. There are things no longer relevant to a modern society. Why declare war if you don’t have to? We are saying to the President, use your judgment. So, to demand that we declare war is to strengthen something to death. You have got a hammerlock on this situation, and it is not called for. Inappropriate, anachronistic, it isn’t done anymore.”

You must agree with Henry Hyde then.

Ron Paul is a decent man, but one who is terribly deluded in the area of foreign policy. It appears that he views this area from a libertarian idealism rather than the hard reality that foreign enemies are real and dangerous and must be dealt with effectively, in fact, more forcefully than the current Administration has. As in Vietnam, we are facing an unpalatable set of choices: continue with a no-win war indefinitely or bail out and let the enemies score a triumph. The Administration is more realistic than Ron Paul, but will not take the military measures, harsh and un-PC though they may be, that would crush the terrorists. They are also trying to keep Iraq unified, although the nation is less than 90 years old and is made up disparate and hostile ethnic and religious groups. It would be better to partition Iraq into three separate nations.

There is no substitute for victory.
