Texas Republican slams Bush "demented philosophy of conquest

Full story at http://www.thebluestate.com/2007/02/v...

Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) stood his ground and joined the twenty-or-so other Republicans that have decided to vote with the House Democrats in favor of a non-binding Iraq resolution that condemns President Bush's troop surge.

Speaking of Bush, Congressman Paul was very straight-forward in his displeasure for Bush's "demented philosophy of conquest." Here is a portion of his floor speech:

RON PAUL: "In recent decades, our policies have been driven by neoconservative empire radicalism; profiteering in the military industrial complex; misplaced do-good internationalism; mercantilistic notions regarding the need to control natural resources; and blind loyalty to various governments in the Middle East."

You can add Ron Paul's name to the small list of the few level-headed Republicans left in Congress.

Does "growing up" mean supporting a war against a country that had NO WMD and NO ties to 9/11? A war which cost almost a trillion dollars, the lives of almost 4500 americans and thousands and thousands of Iraqis. The only shame is the blind sheep like you who supported that criminal George Bush. YOu're no better than the germans who supported the nazis.
