Ron Paul: "I'm surrounded by twits"

[lollalot]

Israel = jews = money. So Gingrich is listening to the money...

[Handyman1703]

That was one point of the video. The other point was the underlying message that the president is morally not entitled to ignore the advise of experts. I disagree with that !

[frogstamper]

But isn't that the point of the video? the fact that on the Republican side the candidates are more concerned with keeping Israel happy than what is best for the US.

[Handyman1703]

I don't know whether it is a wise idea to attack Iran but the president of the US has the right to ignore the advise of his top military people if he simply disagrees with them. Of course he must have damned good reason to do so but he has the right to do that.

So I think the suggestion in this video that the US president is a puppet of Israel if he ignores the advise of his experts is unfair. The people want a president who makes his own mind up !

LOL damn Israel took over America in a very strategic way. Look how much John King made it out to be. His question was as if it came from an Israeli journalist and not an American one. And Gingrich continued on with the c*ck sucking of Israel with his stupid response. When is everyone going to wake up?

[titsmcgritscocobits]

Both. Clearly.

[Haplo2020]

Actually what he said is that he would allow our closest ally to dictate thier countries foriegn policy and Turkey is absolutely not a close ally you uneducated half functioning retard. Thank god your going bankrupt on that worthless TV channel of yours which is being bought up by someone with u and your bosses ideology(Algezeera) Let you and your followers suck on that for a moment.

while gingrich didn't even serve in military and he try to ignore what military generals said, ignorant attitude

[WAFFENSS69]

Iran only wants nukes as a defence against american/western aggression. We invaded their neighbour Iraq in a completely illeagle manner and they are afraid that they will be next. Israeli government are war mongers who treat the palestinians as less than human. We should impose sanctions on Israeli good. NO TO WAR WITH IRAN.
