The conservatives attending this weeks Conservative Political Action Conference are generally hawkish when it comes to foreign policy, but they applauded Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) on Friday when he told them the US has no choice but to get out of Iraq.

Part of the reasons why we lost this last election was the foreign policy issue, Paul insisted. Generally speaking, the presidential candidate who argues the case for less war-mongering will win the election.

Paul noted that George Bush ran in 2000 on a pledge to end Bill Clintons nation-building, but then he joined the idea that the American taxpayers — you — have an obligation to take care of everybody and police the world.

This is literally what bankrupts the country, Paul complained. It costs us a trillion dollars a year to take care of our foreign policy, and that cannot last.

The person most pleased with our foreign policy is Osama bin Laden, Paul went on. He said, Im going to get you to come over here and well fight you on our sand, and we will do what we did to the Soviets. He said he will do the same thing, he will eventually bankrupt this country.

So yeah, Paul acknowledged. We want to get rid of a bad guy in Iraq — we did. But another one million Iraqis got killed. Believe me, they werent all terrorists. But nevertheless, it pleased Osama bin Laden.

Paul concluded by criticizing President Obama for proposing to send another 17,000 troops to Afghanistan. Dont we know anything about history? he asked. It is bankrupting our country. It will end because we cant afford it. Thats what the financial crisis is telling us. and the sooner we realize that the better.

    well, most of western medicine is very harmful- so i guess its more than 80% of scientists who seek to harm&kill

  • do you know 80% of scientist spend their times inventing to "Kill lives" (bombs) why don't this 80% of scientist spend their times inventing "how to save lives"???

  • American soldiers must go home to their own soil..

  • I agree Ron Paul. No one wins wars. I only ask that if the U.S. sends more troops to Afghanistan, please let them only hold fort and keep the capital secure. No need to go fight in the mountains, that just angers my people. Secure the major cities, help and assist in restructuring and rebuilding, don't do the job, help the Afghans do the job. Don't give the money to Halleburton or Bechtel to build things there, give it to the people and assist in training them to build things on their own.
