I think the Republicans and Democrats really have the same agenda, they just change things around a little to make it look different but it is really the same, like the patriot act and the war, there is something very fishy about our Government I don't think they belong to us, someone else is calling the shots and its not our President.

Agree with Dr. Paul 100% !!!

Bring our troops home, stop the killing of troops & civilians both.

Stop the US Govt from stealing billions of dollars from the American taxpayers every year to fund these insane wars.

Now they're sending our troops into Africa, and eyeballing Iran again.

I am so sick of the Dem & Repub warmongering.

Authors like Khaled Hosseini and Shafie Ayar make people more aware of the great country of Afghanistan. Just the same, this kind of video allows us to understand Afghanistan with a stronger lens.

Do you think we have a roster of Al-Qaeda members. I spent 7 months in Iraq analyzing and targeting Al-Qaeda's local network. We were always two steps behind. Al-Qaeda is a hydra. They will leave us alone when we leave the region. And by the way, we stopped going after AQ in Afghanistan after the first year and now have our hands full of locals.

Afghanistan is the good war?? Come on - the Taliban never did shit to us. Now you're selling us this bullshit that we're there to weaken them so they won't let a few crusty Al Qaida bitches that are hiding in Pakistan back into Afghanistan? What a dip-shit. You can't stop these people. You can't kill everyone that has a problem with us being in that region. We're going to be there for fucking ever. Why don't you just leave them alone if they'll leave us alone? I know, can't make money that way.

Dr. Paul, It's been proven more than once, that these terrorists are willing to take the fight to our homes (9/11 etc.). Although I do agree with you that this fight should not be called war on terror. This fight should be called the war on Al Qaeda, the bastards who have been bombing and killing us in the first place. Anyone with a weapon and wild ideas can be called a terrorist, but there only a few people who work under the name Al Qaeda.

I like his choice of medium, his approach, and plainspeak. I am not sure if his interpretations of people's feelings or thoughts, but I believe his approach to preventing further debt and problems is correct. Helpers of Obama, please get his message to the front.

Yes, Saudi Arabia is the number one producer in the world, but we don't import much oil from the middle east.

When I said, "our oil" I was talking about the source of oil that the US consumes. That was very apparent to everyone else but you. If you got back and read the context in which my comment was made, it was about US energy policy.

I guess I can't say that I'm surprised though. You were totally ignorant of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics.

Getting hydrogen from water is not efficient because it takes a substantial amount of energy to split the water molecule. In fact, you have to put more energy into splitting the molecule than you would get out of it by burning the H2 later on.

Ever hear of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics?

Yes, it is a pipe dream. Wind can never be the primary source of power because the wind is variable.

seriously where did you get this info please let me know so that i could avoid going there. The get hydrogen from water. every water molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms hence H2O. it is not a pipe dream denmark gets 20% of it its energy from green sources like wind. please stop spreading info you heard from a guy at the bar as if it is fact.
