Such as on Today's State of the Union show on CNN when asked if Obama has done
"enough" to force Iran to stop its nuclear development via sanctions and others,
his reply was spot on: "I think he gets too much involved. I think
sanctions gives the motivation for them to want a nuclear weapon. We
have 45 bases around them, we can demolish them within hours. And the worst
thing the sanctions do, and Republicans and Democrats both support it and the
other GOP candidates want war even more, the whole thing is there is a lot of
dissension in Iran and we should encourage it by not interfering, once we get
involve and threaten to bomb them, it becomes nationalistic - everyone joins the
Ayataollah and Ahmedinejad. So there is a blowback - unusual
circumstances and unintended consequences. So yes, our people are
well-intended, but they don't realize how much damage they do by not
accomplishing what they want and causing more harm to us. So our military
personnel right now are very adamant not to be involved in a bombing of
Iran, it makes no sense whatsoever to our military personnel, to the
CIA, even though they are much more interventionist than I am."
Do you want war in the Middle East? Other than Ron Paul, every GOP candidate virtually insures it!
The guy will never win so it would be a wasted vote. Yes, his anti war beliefs are to be applauded.
ReplyDeletePaul is an old man. He says many logical things that make sense. He is likable. He will never get the GOP Nom, so it is a moot point. Sally
