Ron Paul thinks Bush was giddy about going to war in Iraq. Idiot.

Ron Paul, raging against the machine and pretending his is the only reasonable political position. He should have been termed out years ago.

As reported in The Blaze, we have this about Ron Paul: 

Speaking in Iowa Thursday evening, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said that the Bush administration were “gleeful” after the September 11 attacks because it gave them an excuse to invade Iraq.

“Just think of what happened after 9/11. Immediately before there was any assessment there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq,” the Texas congressman said. He also suggested that officials are currently setting the stage for an invasion of Iran. . . . .

I listened to Ron Paul make this ridiculous assertion on the Megan Kelly show, this morning. Just another reason why I have come to really dislike this guy . . . . . and before this campaign season I was very impressed with his thinking on financial matters. In fact, I used to carry his writings on this blog.

Understand this: when we vote for the President of the United States, we are voting the Commander and Chief of the baddest military force this world has ever seen. An anti-war / pacifist type is, therefore, unqualified to serve this position. Sorry, but that is the more-than-obvious fact.

I don't want to argue about the war in Iraq, but Bush took 14 months to attack. He got the consent of Congress and the U.N. And his military strategies were successful. The death toll for the American military was the lowest causality count for a prolonged war in world history. A million and a half individual solders fought in that war, with less than 4,000 killed in the years of the actual war.

But, here I am, arguing the war when my complaint is the ignorant claim that Bush was so warped that he was thrilled with the idea of going to war in Iraq.

Understand that Paul has already lost my support. When he refused to agree to accept the results of the GOP primary process, he proved himself, to me, to be little more than an opportunist of the first order.

Ditto for Donald Trump. But that is a subject for another post.

I have made a decision about this coming election: I will not vote for Ron Paul. He is not a Republican. Rather, he is a Libertarian, plain and simple. He should run as a Libertarian and stop playing games with the GOP. If he is the reason Obama wins the coming election. Paul should be run out of town on a rail.

And I said "Libertarian." Actually, on foreign policy issues, Ron Paul is nothing less than a silly liberal. He talks of respecting our enemies; of allowing repressive regimes to continue their immoral policies; of refusing a moral call to stand for freedom in a world of darkness. His foreign policy and stance on war are extremely dangerous to the future of this country.

Anyway,  I am ready for his retirement.
