That was a better link than the one I posted. I agree with everything he said except this one.

War and Foreign Policy
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 jihads 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.

We will have new leadership in the White House no matter who gets elected.
I do think we are spread to thin and I am not for the draft at this time. I am for closing our borders and consolidating our military. We need to wait and see if Iran can handle their own problem or see if we need to help them. I think the X Shahs son is knocking on the door and I sure hope it will happen with in. Then start a slow pull out.

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.

now I can agree with that. The UN is a joke and should take their home office out of our country. We are paying the price for helping these countries out and we need to take food and troops out of any country that does not want us there and then come back to the table with the food in one hand and the gun in the other. I do not think we are in any danger of being isolated in this one world government. We have the lions share of the food and they have oil. Which would you rather have on a bad day ? Food for me

I am not surprised that the polls were shot down by big brother because the back halls on both sides of the street do not like a free spirit.I hope Ron Paul can make the jump it just might be another Reagan renegade that America needs.
