Draw a border around our Kurdish allies' territory in Iraq in pig blood as well. It will keep both other factions of Iraqis and Al Qaeda out. If the Islamoloonies have other taboos, use them too until we get to eliminate the Islamofascist enemy altogether. Medina? The Dome of the Rock? Any and all.
You do make one good point (stopped clock...twice a day) that the Saudis are still funding Wahabi terrorists (to keep the royals of Ibn Saud's family in power) so let's take over Saudi Arabia before the real nutcases of Wahabi and Al Qaeda and paleoPaulie's other love objects do.
If you, in the cause of paleoPaulie, want to cite the CIA, the 9/11 Commission and the 9/11 Study Group or other blue ribbon, establishment elitists of the internationalist (not isolationist and certainly not interventionist persuasion) as sources of truth, perhaps the facade of paleoPaulie and his little gang being conservative at all ought to be dropped altogether. Do you know who John Flynn was? He would not have cited such sources. Nor would Colonel MacCormack. Nor would Charles Lindbergh. You are living proof that the paleos are really nothing more than rootless phony"cons."
If it's shooting, it's a war. Semantics, schmenatics. Regardless of what the Paulistas think, there is NOT a Constitutional requirement that something be called a "declaration of war" before it is legitimate. If Congress "authorises the use of force" then it's a constitutional war. And we're in a constitutional war in Iraq. Against a bunch of Islamist terrorists who have already told us time and time again that they want to destroy the United States. The only think keeping large numbers of them from infiltrating the USA is the fact that our troops are occupying their mythical "capital of the Caliphate", thus attracting the Islamists to Baghdad so that they can be killed in record numbers.
And Ron Paul opposes all of this.
Ron Paul is a collaborator. When all of this is said and done, the American people will shave his head and parade him through the streets to be ridiculed and mocked, just like those Dutch women who used to sleep with the Nazis.
Is that why his speech from Oct 2002 is posted on Lew Rockwell and Antiwar.com?
"Perhaps we didn't appreciate fully enough the depth of the hatred and the complexity of the problems that made the Middle East such a jungle. Perhaps the idea of a suicide car bomber committing mass murder to gain instant entry to Paradise was so foreign to our own values and consciousness that it did not create in us the concern for the marines' safety that it should have."No one can predict what Reagan would have said or done in the present situation. But his public remarks and recently published diaries don't give much support to the idea that he had much confidence in invasions, occupations, nationbuilding, etc. Especially in the Mideast."In the weeks immediately after the bombing, I believe the last thing that we should do was turn tail and leave. Yet the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there. If there would be some rethinking of policy before our men die, we would be a lot better off. If that policy had changed towards more of a neutral position and neutrality, those 241 marines would be alive today." -- Ronald Reagan, 1983
"That is why I think the middle east has to be reformed.."
Resting case.
EEE: If you want such fun, take it to Demonratic Underground where the antiwar antiAmerican pacifists play.
Ron Paul is no Ronald Reagan.
Could you give us some ballpark figures on how much aid in $$ we send to Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi, Kuwait, Dubai, Jordan, Lebanon, every year (military + humanitarian + whatever else).
As with his appearances everywhere, Ron Paul is bringing excitement and moonbattery ...
Yeah, that explains why Ron's poll numbers are so low in every poll. :::rolls eyes:::
Can you give me a ballpark estimate for how much disruption to the US economy would occur if all the Islamists who want to infiltrate the USA and commit terrorists acts and start general insurrection were allowed to do so by our following Ron Paul's misguided policy ideas?
that crossed the line
You have no case you stupid twit, I would have supported the reforming of Germany and Japan but I was born in 1946. I supported the reforming of the USSR. I think removing Saddam was the best way to force a change in the middle east. That doesn’t make me a “globalist”, but hey believe what ever it is your pure idealogical mind wishes.
No more children's chewable paranoia pills for you.
This former militant seems to disagree...

GWB: Is that the same Ronald Reagan who ordered the military to bomb Qaddafi and his family personally in the Libyan desert with death from the sky, killing two of Qaddafi’s kids, severely injuring Qaddafi himself and taming him until he turned his nukes prototypes and plans over to Dubya???? Remember that the paleos are the eccentrics who did not realize until 1986 that their personal weirdness and strange excuse for ideology had disqualified them from EVER being significant players under Reagan or ever recognized as conservatives by conservaives?
“With the benefit of minute hindsight, Saddam Hussein wasn’t the kind of extra-territorial menace that was assumed by the administration one year ago. If I knew then what I know now about what kind of situation we would be in, I would have opposed the war.” - William F. Buckley, 6/27/04
That article deserves of thread of it's own.
