RON PAUL IS A STUPID HYPOCRITE ON FOREIGN POLICY

RON PAUL LIKES TO PORTRAY HIMSELF AS A PRINCIPLED ISOLATIONIST.


HE BLAMES 9/11 ON THE USA - AS IF GLOBAL JIHAD WAS BLOW-BACK.


ONE OF THE THINGS HE HAS HARPED ON IS THAT THE IRAQ WAR IS 20 YEARS OLD AND OUR FAULT.


THIS ATTACK ON THE USA EXPOSES PAUL AS THE IDIOTIC CRANK HE REALLY IS.


HERE: 

Mr. PAUL:

 Mr. Speaker, how did the 20-year war get started? It had
been long assumed that the United States Government, shortly before Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of 1990, gave Saddam Hussein a green light to attack. A State Department cable recently published by WikiLeaks confirmed that U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie did indeed have a conversation with Saddam Hussein one week prior to Iraq's August 1, 1990, invasion of Kuwait. Amazingly, the released cable was entitled, ``Saddam's Message of Friendship to President Bush.'' In it, Ambassador Glaspie affirmed to Saddam that ``the President had instructed her to broaden and deepen our relations with Iraq.'' As Saddam Hussein outlined Iraq's ongoing border dispute with Kuwait, Ambassador Glaspie was quite clear that, ``we took no position on these Arab affairs.'' [UMPH ADDED] 

There would have been no reason for Saddam Hussein not to take this assurance at face value. The U.S. was quite supportive of his invasion and war of aggression against Iran in the 1980s. With this approval from the U.S. Government, it wasn't surprising that the invasion occurred. The shock and surprise was how quickly the tables were turned and our friend, Saddam Hussein, all of a sudden became Hitler personified.

WHERE SHALL I BEGIN?!!


(1) SADDAM WAS NOT OUR ALLY; OR FRIEND; SADDAM WAS A CLIENT STATE OF THE USSR - ALL HIS WEAPONS WERE FROM THE USSR - HIS JETS, HUIS TANKS, HIS GUNS, HIS BULLETS. 


REAGAN SOLD MISSILES TO IRAN; THE SCANDAL WAS IRAN-CONTRAGATE, NOT IRAQGATE.


(2) AT THIS MEETING BETWEEN GLASPIE AND SADDAM, SADDAM THREATENED THE USA - AND THREATENED US WITH TERRORISM:

HE THREATENED AS MUCH (FROM A 3/23/2008 POST): 

SADDAM: 

If you use pressure, we will deploy pressure and force. We know that you can harm us although we do not threaten you. But we too can harm you. Everyone can cause harm according to their ability and their size. We cannot come all the way to you in the United States, but individual Arabs may reach you.

THIS WAS A DIRECT THREAT TO USE TERRORISTS AGAINST THE USA, AND INSIDE THE USA - IT WAS MADE BY SADDAM TO AMBASSADOR APRIL GLASPIE.

IT PROVES WE WERE NOT KISSY-FACE WITH SADDAM OR WINKING.

(3) GLASPIE EXPRESSED NON-INTERFERENCE WITH ARAB AFFAIRS - SPECIFICALLY WITH THEIR BORDER DISPUTES, OF WHICH THERE WERE MANY AND REMAIN MANY - AS IN MORE THAN ONE.

SHE WAS NOT TELLING SADDAM THAT THE USA WOULD LOOK THE OTHER WAY IF HE INVADED; SHE WAS SAYING THAT WE DIDN'T GIVE A CRAP WHERE THE BORDER WAS.

AND  THIS IS THE POINT AT WHICH PAUL'S HYPOCRISY REACHES ASTOUNDING LEVELS:

• AS AN ISOLATIONIST RON PAUL IS ALWAYS SAYING THAT OUR PROBLEMS ARE THE RESULT OF BLOW-BACK FOR WHEN WE INTERFERE WHERE WE SHOULDN'T.

• THEN HE GOES AND BLAMES SADDAM'S INVASION OF KUWAIT ON OUR NON-INTERFERENCE!
• 
  
• THE HYPOCRISY IS BREATH-TAKING.

ONLY AN AMORAL MORON COULD BE SO  DENSE AS TO PREACH NON-INTERFERENCE AND THEN CRITICIZE THE USA FOR NON-INTERFERENCE.

RON PAUL HAS NO PRINCIPLES EXCEPT TO BLAME THE USA.

HE IS A SHAMELESS LITTLE MORONIC WHINING PIECE OF CRAP.

WRONG ON THE FACTS AND UTTERLY INCONSISTENT  AND PRINCIPLE-LESS.

HE IS AN EMBARRASSMENT AS A CONGRESSMAN AND IS A DISGRACEFUL CANDIDATE FOR THE NOMINATION.

PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR RON PAUL ARE MORONS OR DUPES.
