A post by Eric21ND Ron Paul Forums sums up the best arguments I’ve seen for Ron Paul’s foreign policy. It is clear and concise.
That war isn’t about protecting the country…if it was why to all the other candidates leave our borders wide open? If you want to protect our country secure our borders first not other countries. Ron Paul’s plan would protect our country in several different ways, instead of getting side tracked into nation building. He keeps his eye on the ball and would hunt down our real enemies. Tell your co-worker you hunt down terrorists with good police work, world cooperation, and the special forces…not rolling out the tanks like its WW II. That’s how we caught Ramse Usef. At the sametime by focusing in on our enemies we cut down on killing innocent people and occupying countries which incites the next generation of terrorists. It’s a multi front approach Paul would take. Think of terrorists as a fly and Bush policy is to take the biggest sledge hammer you find to try to kill it…bottom line the fly is too fast and gets away. Paul’s approach would be to use a swatter, fly paper, and to shut the screen door.
Summary:
1. Our borders are wide open so how serious are these candidates about or security really?
2. Paul wouldn’t get distracted by nation building other countries and would focus on real threats.
Here is a two part interview with a couple Iraq war veterans by Henry Rollins on his IFC show. Clips from this interview were used in the “Troops Are Human” Liberty Maven video, but the interview stands on its own as “must watch” material.
In this Exclusive piece from NBC, the investigators “reveal” the reason they attack us is due to our occupation of their land. Of course, this just echoes Ron Paul’s position from the beginning.
If you have a spare 60 minutes or so, this speech is probably the best one yet by Ron Paul. He’s able to explain his positions in a clear and concise way without interruption. He then takes several questions.
This is a very funny blog post and worth a read or two. The best take yet on the whole big moment in one of the previous GOP debates when Rudy Giuliani interrupted Ron Paul and requested he retract what he said.
Ron Paul has said several times in the debates and in interviews that the US should be focusing on Pakistan and going after Bin Laden rather than spending an endless amount of money in Iraq. Now Rudy Giuliani says the following: Read More »
This one is rather long, but is an excellent Ron Paul appearance / interview from New Hampshire radio the morning of the last debate (6/5/2007). Well worth the almost hour long listen.
