Ron Paul on Foreign Policy and America First

@ 09:44 AM (23 months, 6 days ago)

 

If this also includes kicking the United Nations into the East River, then count me in.

"The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must have new leadership in the White House to ensure this never happens again.

Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women.

We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the Constitution.

Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations.

Too often we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised. Too often we have supported those who turn on us, like the Kosovars who aid Islamic terrorists, or the Afghan jihadists themselves, and their friend Osama bin Laden. We armed and trained them, and now we’re paying the price.

At the same time, we must not isolate ourselves. The generosity of the American people has been felt around the globe. Many have thanked God for it, in many languages. Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations."

  10. Hey Dugg, how can I put a you tube video on one of my posts?

  11. I probably will regret telling you -
    [youtube=the video's url]

    or [googlevideo=videos url]

    Go find your evil Ron Paul videos - but I will say this - look at the ratings and comments for all the anti Ron Paul videos - if they haven't disabled comments already. You are in a total minority.

  15. Once I have the video, which I do, how do I insert it in a post?

    Comment by Ernie Els— 2007/12/29 @ 02:24 PM — (Reply)

  16. You just put

    and place the video's URL after the equals sign.
