Umm, not in 30 years, they haven’t. What are you basing this statement on?

I still would like Ron Pal to disassociate himself from the crazy Stormfromt and andti-Semites. And to disassociate himself form the 9/11 Truthers. If he comes out and says that he disavows their viewpoints, I might listen to him more. He does have some really good domestic points, but foreign policy-wise, he is dillusional. We can not run from the world and let the world got to hell. We need to protect our allies and fight our enemies. Al Queda and the rst of the Islamo-fascists declared was on us long before Gergre W was elected. And we did’t go into Iraq for oil or else we would have just taken it over and gas pricces would not be as high as it is now.

This is my last post. Next time ThePiratesCove shows up in my Google hit list, I will know better than to waste my time. Clearly my first comment to this thread was right on target.

“…19 evil islamomaniacs…” none of them Iraqis.

“…Osama bin Laden declared Jihad…” also not Iraqi.

If you think we went into Iraq for anything other than oil, you are deluded. All the other reasons have been proven false including aluminum tubes, uranium yellow cake from Niger, chemical and biological weapons, mobile chemical weapons labs and Iraqi involvement in 9/11 including the supposed Mohammed Atta meeting in Praque. All of it false.

Maybe you are willing to give Bush the benefit of the doubt and chalk every one of these up to inacurate intelligence, but I wasn’t born yesterday.

Before our invasion, Iraq was a secular country and there was no Al Queda in Iraq. Sure Saddam was a miserable dictator, but then I could easily name 20 other countries with dictators as bad or worse. Should we invade them all?

Ron Paul supported military action in Afghanistan. He also advocated letters of marque and reprisal to bring Bin Laden to justice. I would think you pirate guys would know all about that. Contracting with private mercinaries to hunt down and kill or capture Bin Laden could not have turned out any worse and certainly would have cost a whole lot less.

The man has many controversially positions on a wide variety of issues. Maybe you could find something interesting to write about.

You disagree with his non-interventionist foreign policy and believe instead that we should invade countries pre-emptively and at will just because we can. I get that. But don’t be surprised if you get labeled as a neocon for it.

To try to draw equivalency between the term “neo-con” and all the deragatory name calling throughout your numerous posts describing Ron Paul and his supporters speaks volumes about your level of muturity. Or perhaps you just don’t have anything useful to contribute.
