Ron Paul Warned 'Warmongers' A Year Ago: "Leave Syria Alone"
ZeroHedge
In June 2012, Ron Paul warned the ‘warmongers’ in Congress of the “plans, rumors, and war propaganda for attacking Syria and deposing Assad.” In an ironic twist, he also notes, “this past week however, it was reported that the Pentagon indeed has finalized plans to do just that. In my opinion, all the evidence to justify this attack is bogus. It is no more credible than the pretext given for the 2003 invasion of Iraq or the 2011 attack on Libya.” The following speech may well be 15 months old, but is as relevant – if not more – than ever ahead of Obama’s pleas tomorrow.
Plans, rumors, and war propaganda for attacking Syria and deposing Assad have been around for many months.
This past week however, it was reported that the Pentagon indeed has finalized plans to do just that. In my opinion, all the evidence to justify this attack is bogus. It is no more credible than the pretext given for the 2003 invasion of Iraq or the 2011 attack on Libya.
The total waste of those wars should cause us to pause before this all-out effort at occupation and regime change is initiated against Syria.
There are no national security concerns that require such a foolish escalation of violence in the Middle East. There should be no doubt that our security interests are best served by completely staying out of the internal strife now raging in Syria.
We are already too much involved in supporting the forces within Syria anxious to overthrow the current government. Without outside interference, the strife—now characterized as a civil war—would likely be non-existent.
Whether or not we attack yet another country, occupying it and setting up a new regime that we hope we can control poses a serious Constitutional question: From where does a president get such authority?
Since World War II the proper authority to go to war has been ignored. It has been replaced by international entities like the United Nations and NATO, or the President himself, while ignoring the Congress. And sadly, the people don’t object.
Our recent presidents explicitly maintain that the authority to go to war is not the U.S. Congress. This has been the case since 1950 when we were taken into war in Korea under UN Resolution and without Congressional approval.

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
I think many here broke their hearts when we all witnessed how he was treated by the lying msm during the Republican nominations. I certainly spent a lot of time online trying to persuade people that Dr.Paul was the only sane candidate to no avail, and there were many others who did the same. I don’t consider that time wasted, rather, that experience revealed and solidified the perspective that is the hallmark of America.

Yes, of course and we should all lionize him forever, and understand that he now becomes our ‘baby jeebuz’ and we can worship him, but please remember that he’s no longer in power.
His day in the sun has come and gone, and now we need to find New Young Ron Paul’s to carry the message.
I fear his son is much like Chelsea Clinton, just a hollow-dress with a good-name, that brings votes and dollars.
Nobody here disputes that’s RP didn’t represent ZH, but now its a new day. Move on.
But RP’s message …
1.) Get the dollar on GOLD
2.) Get the FED out of America
3.) Quit giving Israel Billions every year to make more enemy’s of America
These tenets still hold, … Its NOT the man its the message
once again ron paul is the only voice of reason.
