>>>Bottom line: Paul will criticize the foreign policy of the U.S. - and it’s allies - for even the slightest intervention into other countries and their affairs. It doesn’t matter how dangerous and threatening they are, we’re supposed to sit back and not intervene.<<<
Doesn’t sound like the Ron Paul I know. This is from his website at:
http://www.ronpaul.com/on-the-issues/national-defense/
“If elected President, Ron Paul will continue his efforts to secure our borders, hunt down the 9/11 terrorist planners (who are still at large), safely withdraw our troops from Iraq and other countries around the world, and finally overhaul the intelligence apparatus in cooperation with intelligence professionals rather than political opportunists”
This is a quote from the 2000 Republican platform:
“...the current administration has casually sent American armed forces on dozens of missions without clear goals, realizable objectives, favorable rules of engagement, or defined exit strategies.”
Sounds like something Ron Paul would say.
BTW, there are 2 videos on foreign policy on his website at:
http://www.ronpaul.com/on-the-issues/national-defense/
And I was at the Iowa debate a couple of weeks ago and heard what he said live, all of it. Talking about dealing with and negotiating with countries like Iran and getting involved in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban. Don’t care what’s on his website, I’ve heard it straight out of his mouth and I’m tired of the naive world he lives in.
Ron Paul has had to lie about his beliefs in open borders because he wanted to be a Republican and actually win a seat in Congress that wasn’t going to happen as a Liberaltarian.
