Christianity and the War - Cong. Ron Paul Breaks with Bush Big-time!

This talk was delivered, at the request of Congressman Ron Paul, to Republican and Democratic staff aides of the US House of Representatives in Washington, DC, on May 25, 2006.

It is a good read on how christians are breaking with Bush over the war.

Never in my life did I ever think that I would find myself agreeing with Senator Ted Kennedy on anything. But what he recently said about the war in Iraq is right on:

In his march to war, President Bush exaggerated the threat to the American people. It was not subtle. It was not nuanced. It was pure, unadulterated fear-mongering, based on a devious strategy to convince the American people that Saddam’s ability to provide nuclear weapons to Al Qaeda justified immediate war.

I find myself agreeing with more and more Democrats now-a-days, at least in their criticisms of the Bush administration’s Iraq policy. Democratic Representative John Murtha, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, has called for the pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq, labeling the president’s Iraq policy "a flawed policy wrapped in illusion." Another Democrat, Representative Dennis Kucinich, has strongly criticized the president for being responsible for the death and destruction that has taken place in Iraq.

That the reality of it.

It wasn't Saddam who threatened us with "mushroom clouds ... in 45 minutes."

Maybe we're getting somewhere.

saying "LIED THEIR FUCKING ASSES OFF" then I will have hope for 'Murkah.

I can't tell who's talking - you, congressman Paul, or Lew.

about it being a good read. All the rest is from the link.

He's a libertarian, who runs as a republican from the Houston area.

If you want to read some serious BushBashing about IraqNam, that goes on to excoriate the Chimperor for dozens of pages, check out his website. It would make DUers blush. Not kidding.

not because of the cost, but because of the death & devastation. Yikes - I am agreeing with a Falwellite.
