I ask Obama how we can trust him to get us out of Iraq in light of his dalliance with the CFR.

I was ready to post a comment agreeing with you, but then I noticed you were a Ron Paul fan and decided to check out your facts. I found out that the CFR also has such Iraq War supporters as George Soros, Jimmy Carter, Angelina Jolie, and John Edwards (in order of femininity) among its members.  This is a dishonest question, as I'd expect from a Ron Paul supporter.

[Roger1776]

There is nothing dishonest about my question, and nothing wrong with my facts. That Soros and Carter -- all of whom support American interference in the domestic affairs of other countries -- are members of the CFR does not at all negate that the CFR "Council Experts" have long supported American intervention in the Middle East.

The only thing dishonest here is your attempt to tarnish Dr. Paul's name.

[MattBellamy1]

Now you've changed your argument. First, it was that the CFR supports the Iraq War. Now it's that they support "American interference in the domestic affairs of other countries". If you'd said that originally, it wouldn't have been dishonest, but you didn't say it because you know most Americans don't support Ron Paul's quasi-isolationist foreign policy.

[Roger1776]

My argument has not changed in the slightest. One of the fruits of American intervention in the Middle East -- something supported by the CFR -- is the Iraq War. No intervention, no war.

And Dr. Paul's foreign policy is far from isolationist, as he believes in free trade with other nations. It's more in line with Jefferson's statement about "commerce with all nations, alliance with none".

And yet he's perfectly ok with bombing the shit our of Pakistan if he finds "actionable intelligence"... Give me a fucking break. Check YOUR facts, dude. This guy is just another shill for the military industrial complex/banking elite/New World Order. Do you even know what the CFR is?

[frankatunda]

Hillary just messed up her debate, while opposing open lines of diplomacy with Iran, Syria and doing so, she hopes to bring and end to the Iraq War and stability to the region (She will be doing just what president Bush has been doing) ISOLATE AMERICA and no GET anything DONE.....WHO is the most experienced now, if for you guys desperetly believe Experience means Competence??? Is it Bush, Hillary or Obama the most competent in their thinking as commander in chief?

[Earthlinked]

I think Obama is a good man - but they would eat him alive one the hill. No experience at that level - who was the last president like that? CARTER - and look what happened there - 18% interest rates 14% inflation and hostages in Iran!! Not yet, Senator Obama -- soon -- but not yet. Get more experience!!
