Ron Paul is the RIGHT candidate to cut and run with the Dimocrat Socialist surrender monkeys. He will never be President unless he moves to France.

Yes he should, because he was a secular Sunni who hated both the Saudi Wahabbists and the fundamentalist Shi'ites, kept a lid on the Kurds which is a boon to our staunch allies, the Turks, and was an effective counterweight to Iranian attempts to dominate the region.

Paul wore out his welcome when he cast that pandering anti-American vote with the rats last week. He may as well changes partie. (And sorry to say I actually voted for this guy in '88.)

Ron Paul could have voted "present". That he didn't is telling.

Good point. The part that bothers me the most is the fact that we do have troops in hams way while this vote is going on. If there is even the slightest chance that our enemies will be emboldened then there is simply no excuse for allowing that to happen.

The links are provided right there in the article.

I didn't ask for links to wade through.

I want you to name the names of the terrorists convicted in US Embassy bombings that currently dominate the Iraqi government. Please give me their names, the offices in the Iraqi government they currently hold and of which crimes they were convicted.

"Nations do not have friends. They only have interests."

People have friends. And nations are merely collections of people.

Loving thy neighbor is the duty of all humans. A duty we fall short of, generally.

That said, looking at it from what is apparently your self-interest-only-here-and-now point of you, it is the USA's interest to be a bed-rock solid, reliable, friend.

Cut-and-run and no one would EVER stick their neck out for us.

Jamal Jafaar Mohammed is not an MP who "could be" convicted, he HAS BEEN convicted and is still under a Kuwaiti death sentence.

As to the rest, they are convicted by their own claims of responsibility for Anti-American Terror:

Their own words condemn the Radical Terrorist Al Dawa Party, the Ruling Party of Iraq.

The link you provided in your article, the one regarding Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his link to the Iraqi Dawn party, is interesting in that it contains sidebar links to all kinds of leftist blogs. I didn't see one conservative blog I recognized.
This tells me something of your agenda. All I can say for those motivated to sign up for your ping list is "buyer beware".

It also provided little 'factual' information that has been requested in a few posts here.

I am holding any comment until I SEE that list of officials who are now in the Iraqi parliment that have been convicted or have been purported to be terrorists. The link you provided is one man's viewpoint.

It's not a hard question. Why don't you answer, OC?

Aside from that, you can parse RP's vote with the Democrats any way you like, it won't change the fact that it is considered treasonous and seditious by a large number of Freepers.

Iraqi Government which is dominated by Islamic Terrorists

You came up with ONE. We probably have at least that many terrorists in positions of power over here.

You just haven't been paying attention.

Idiocy. Saddam was a state sponsor of international terrorism.

Shoot the messenger if you want --

Thanks for the offer.

BAM!

Glad to do it. Now take your leftist friends and your cut-and-run agenda elsewhere.

If you think Saddam should still be in power you are an IDIOT. He was a mass murderer that was the current version of Hitler. You are a heartless bastard that would leave innocent women, children and elderly to his evil ways. Like to see you explain your thinking to your creator you will meet someday. Good luck with that one.

You answer my question first I posed to you. Do you think Saddam should still be in power and alive? Answer it. If Ron had his way he would be.

I supported a Constitutional Declaration of War on Saddam Hussein's Iraq -- as did Ron Paul.

Constitutionally, kill Saddam, and then refuse to support ANY "democracy" which elects Terrorists to Power.

Saddam was also --- and this is according to no less a liberal source than the NYT --- one year away from a nuclear bomb at the point of invasion.

Saddam would have had no compuction to using said weaponry on the USA.

9/11 would have been a mere echo.

Is that self-interested enough for you?

"Iraqi Government is now a Government dominated by convicted Islamic Terrorists who attacked our Embassies and murdered hundreds of United States Marines in cold blood"

"Ruling Coalition Iraqi Member of Parliament who is still under a Kuwaiti Death Sentence for his attack on the US Embassy in Kuwait?"

Which is it one Iraqi MP convicted of terrorism or lots of them?

If the Iraqi governemnt had as many convicted terrorists as your statement implies their manes would be as easy to find as Jamal Jafaar Mohammed's andplastered on every moonbat site out there.

Good try but Ron Paul voted against the Iraq war, thus Saddam would still be in power to murder the innocent.

No he wasn't. You're thinking about the Saudi Wahabbists that Bush invites to his ranch. They are building mosques and subsidizing radical clerics all across Europe and the US. Saddam was despised by the Islamists as a secular sell-out.

See #167.

The whole Al Dawa Party has previously claimed responsibility for their Anti-American Terrorist attacks.

Their Ruling Government in Iraq is unworthy of further US support.

AND let Iran take over the whole country....which is just what they're waiting to do.

I'm sure the Mullahs would like to thank you and Ron Paul for your support.....you sure aren't giving any to our troops.
