Perry: Send back troops into Iraq. Force the negotiation of SOFA.

[joshcryer]

Anyone saying that a Republican wouldn't still have us in Iraq is just totally naive.

1. Appealing to the Bushites, I'm convinced.

God, flag, military, bombs, and cowboy boots.

2. Can you believe that asshole?

Good thing he's going nowhere fast.

3. A good 30% of American's eat that crap up, full stop.

They are warmongers to the core.

4. Has that been a big argument?

I mean, that a Republican would have removed troops from Iraq - specifically this would have been McCain. He may not have escalated things in Afghanistan like Obama did. Who knows? Surely the policy would have overall been more interventionist and aggressive than the Obama policy.

5. Yeah I encountered it a few times in the past few days. Not sure where it's coming from...

...possibly due to my anti-Ron Paul rants.

Enjoy it when we agree on something. Agree that "the policy would have overall been more interventionist and aggressive."

Here's the last post I can find when it came up, for context: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=115736

I think it will be an ongoing "thing" as the elections continue and Obama touts leaving Iraq. I know Juan Cole got crap for saying Obama should get credit for leaving.

6. I will vote for and campaign for Barack Obama.

I do not agree with everything, but that's politics. I imagine we probably agree on more than you may think.

The level of admiration for Ron Paul on this site seems quite high, inexplicably so. He is before all else a paleo-conservative right-winger, and the genealogy of those politics is disgusting. I dare say, worse than the neo-cons.
