Ron Paul: How U.S. Foreign Policy Objectives Undermines Israel’s Right To Defend Itself…

Right then.
And right now.
VIDEO LINK | The GOP Presidential Debate on CNN November 22, 2011
Q: “Would you support if Israel attacked to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons?”
A: “…We interfere with them when they deal with their borders, when they want to have peace treaties. We tell what they can do because we buy their allegiance and they sacrifice their sovereignty to us. Then they decide they want to bomb something, that's their business…
When they bombed the Iraqi missile sites, uh, nuclear site back in the 80s, I was one of the few in Congress that said it's none of our business and Israel should take care of themselves. Israel has 200, 300 nuclear missiles and they can take care of themselves…
Why should we have this automatic commitment that we’re going to send our kids and send our money to Israel? So I think they're quite capable of taking care of themselves. Israel, that whole thing is going to backfire once we go bankrupt and we should be very cautious in our willingness to go to war and send troops without proper declaration by the US Congress…”

Our entire overseas policy has been a train wreck since WW2
Maybe it’s time to rethink what we are doing.

I would care far less about Israel’s actions if they weren’t funded and backed with American dollars and lives.

We don't need Ron Paul to tell us that.
