Libertarians for Ron Paul

Congressman Ron Paul has opposed the Iraq War because it has taken our attention and our resources away from the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, and the fight against Al Qaeda, the real criminals of 9/11.

Congressman Paul has noted that the U.S. government continues to regard Pakistan as an ally, and provide aid to its government, even as it tolerates a growing Taliban style Islamist movement, and may even be harboring Osama Bin Laden and associates. Paul also notes that Pakistan has nuclear weapons.

Ron Paul’s real concern with America’s security is drawing interest from Intelligence professionals and others who are concerned with the extremist threat to America.

Michael Scheuer was head of the CIA unit monitoring Osama Bin Laden, and he has written to www.antiwar.com to back up Ron Paul’s contention that American foreign policy has motivated Islamic extremists to attack America.

He writes “… Representative Paul did all Americans an immense service by simply pointing out the obvious: Our Islamist enemies do not give a damn about the way we vote, think, or live. Though any country they ruled would surely not look like ours, they are motivated by the belief that U.S. foreign policy is an attack on Islam, its lands, and its believers. This, of course, is not to say that America is to blame for the war it is now engaged in…” read the rest here http://tinyurl.com/2lz62h
