American Values?
During the Iraq war, American troops were instructed to use specially equipped tanks to bulldoze the trenches that held Iraqi soldiers- Not a single American was hurt, so meager was the resistance. Thousands of Iraqis, teenagers coerced into the army by the dictator Hussein, were buried alive, while the unprecedented military tactic was hidden from the public through media censorship. Captain Benny Williams, who Led the charge was awarded the Silver Star for his role. Also hidden: the apparent fact that many of the rag-tag teenage soldiers were trying to surrender as they were entombed.
That's the funniest and most backwards thing I have ever heard. They are opposite on pretty much EVERYTHING.
It's Guiliani and Hillary who don't seem that different. (pro-choice, open borders, pro-gay agenda, gun-grabbing, big government, etc, etc) And in case you didn't know, Hillary is not calling for the war to end, if i'm not mistaken she said the troops should be there til 2013. So her position is much more in line with Guiliani's, not Paul's.
I would say the enemy who waits TOO LONG to surrender, has waited too long...
In war, there isn't time to "adjudicate" each case, to determine who lives or who dies....
I say it sucks to be the guys hiding in the ditch.
Well, we were attacked during WWII, so that was a justified war. Although, World War I was a different story. That’s why I said ‘the last 50 years’ in my previous post.
I didn’t know much about Ron Paul until recently. Sounds like he should team up with Kucinich.
Yea, we didn’t get Ron Paul’s buddy, Saddam.
I lived in Pozzuoli (just outside of Napoli) for three years during my transition from a pre-teen to a teenager (Navy brat.) That was when I first saw Sorrento.
I went back to that area in '04 to visit, expecting things to have changed quite a bit and was delighted to find that they had barely changed at all. :-)
Just kidding about all of the houses. Some Paulies have accused me of being a "war profiteer," so we joke about it. The Mods have given at least one of the accusers a vacation from FR for doing that.
It got some press coverage at the time. Not surprised to see Paul raise the warning.
The only thing wrong with that intervention is that we let Hussein negotiate a peace rather than just killing him and making our own peace on our own terms.
That American ‘intervention’ has apparently come back to haunt us and Paul’s criticism of that war has, in retrospect, proved to be correct.
No, what has come back to haunt us was the weakness we showed in not erasing Saddam Hussein from the face of the earth. That failure has now been rectified.
Paul's criticism was not our failure to terminate Hussein - he criticized that war on the same stupid and traitorous grounds he criticizes this one: that he believes that America should always show weakness abroad at all times and wait to show strength until the weakness he advocates invites predators to attack the homeland.
His criticism was vile and pointless then and is now.
That said, I disagree with Paul’s angle of attack in this piece, a rare occasion where he truly does adopt leftist rhetoric. He’d be better off sticking to his principles of nonintervention rather than going down the same road as Michael Moore.
You view it as an anomaly in his rhetoric. What I see is a man who, at the time of writing, was not in Congress and not running for any office - a man who was therefore relaxed, unguarded and showing his true colors.
>>>>Ron Paul is a liberal,
He is more than just a liberal. He is a liberal heavy-duty flake. He is up there on the UFOs with Dennis Kucnich.
You should post links on your home page like JVeritas did!
Hehehehe...this is one of those times when a pack rat proves there really are treasures in those piles of paper.
The first time I saw Paul stabbing his pen into the air during a debate, I thought "raving nutter." Thanks to your knack for storage, you have proved it. Great find!
First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you win
In the meantime, Paul's campaign will continue to grow exponentially, and when he wins a couple of primary states or tops $20 million for the 4Q, that's when I will grab the popcorn to watch heads exploding.
Thanks.
Fred in '08.
