“no ability to attack the United States… “

The statement above is enough to disqualify RP from even being a candidate.

Huh, haven’t they already attacked us? I have a vague recollection of 9/11, did I just imagine that event?

Facts, we don’t need no stinkin facts! Ron Paul says its so. In other news, Jim Jones is rolling over in his grave green with envy.

I agree that there may have been WMD, but America was told by its leaders in Wash. that the intell was not correct as first thought. RP can only speak from statements that are printed from Congress, CIA, UN, the 911 Report, Media, etc. since this is what most Americans believe and are fed by the government. If you reported that there was WMD’s, then everyone would call him a loon. Either way, both sides are calling him a loon. Who is right in regard to the way he should play this?

"As it turned out, Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, no al-Qaeda activity, and no ability to attack the United States… With both objectives of the original authorization completely satisfied, what is the legal ground for our continued involvement in Iraq? Why has Congress not stepped up to the plate and revisited the original authorization?"

Evidently Herr Doktor Paul didn't bother to read the authorization he voted against. Nowhere does the authorization mention WMD, AQ, etc. It says that Saddam was in violation of the terms of his peace agreement that left him in power after being defeated in the first gulf war. Iraq did not have the rights of a sovereign nation any more than a parolee has rights to privacy and gun ownership.

The important point to Doktor Paul is that the Neocons (Joos) wanted the threat of Saddam neutralized and the Iraqi people freed and empowered so he was against it.

All this is all well and good.....for the history books. The question for candidates today is “What are you going to do to help this country from this day forward.” Hell, we can go back to Hitler and discuss what he did to get us into WWII but what good would it do for this coming election?

I think the AQ articles should just address the presence before we took over, which I whink was two training camps. Anything since then cannot be attributed to Saddam.

You are restricting yourself using AQ only. Saddam was giving money to the familes of suicide bombers and allowed some notorious people into Baghdad.

Since Saddam's generals thought they were developing weapons and Saddam had restricted access to inspectors, reasonable people would come to only one conclusion. The rest won't believe videos of atom bombs being hauled away.

I can’t wait until a few primaries are held so the Ron Paul cult members can be shown that everybody else thinks Ron Paul is a lunatic. He will finish last in most states until he is forced by reality to take a hike.

The Ron Paul Cult should just state what their true intentions are here at FR

They should make a statement like this

"We just want to find a way to smoke our pot without any consequences and we don't care about America being attacked as long as were stoned. By the way cut my taxes so I can go buy another bag of weed."
