    Paul is willing to go to war when we are actually threatened. Are you prepared to declare war on Iran at this moment? If you aren't, how do you propose we stop Iran from getting a nuke? Economic sanctions? Our creditor, China, is tight with Iran. Bluster from our president and in the UN?

    If Iran gets a nuke, they'll only be 299 behind Israel. Israel can take care of itself.

    We can't afford to chase the illusion of security. The world is a dangerous place, China or Russia or any number of nations could slip a nuke to a terrorist. I hate that there are so many scared people willing to spend the money of future generations and dilute the beacon of liberty that our country is to the world.

    The cuts we just agreed to are cuts to future increases in spending and amount to putting us further into debt. If we keep spending like this the US will turn into a has been by the time my daughter has children, if not before.

    You are threatened by a country that has no navy. That can't make enough gasoline for itself. That no intercontinental ballistic missiles. And who is surrounded by countries WITH NUCLEAR weapons. IRAN is a third world country.

    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that even IF they have had a nuclear weapon it wouldn't be in their best interest in using it.

    Fear Mongering is so Bush era. Move on.

    Quoted for truth.

    They don't want him talking because he actually has a real answer for every question. He doesn't skirt issues, he confronts them head on.

    That you think the USA should be afraid of. The greatest super-power in the world. We could end Iran with one button push.

    But wait RP is the looney toon crazy one. I think your old dog GOP looks like the idiots this time around. The Neo-Cons will have to start a new party.

    this is the attitude that worked 30 years ago. now its about nations that allow terrorism to flourish. it isnt like we are worried about being attacked by iran. but we could be attacked by iranians.

    these days we need to force every other nation to be vigilant about finding and prosecuting terrorists.

    That's why I respect Bush. Agree with his decisions or not he was no chickenchit. Clinton lobbed a few missiles that did nothing. Bush sent in the flippin marines. I do have to give Obama credit. He hasn't been a chickenchit either. He has sent in drone attacks and special forces into pakistan and Yemen. I don't care for the liberal spending but he has been a competent war time president. Flame away.
