Ron Paul on Iranian Nukes: No Big Deal

Fri, Nov 2, 2007 at 1:33:07 pm PDT

Allahpundit links to an interview at CNN with The Only Man Who Can Save America (aka The Crazy Uncle)—but don’t count on him to save America from Iranian nuclear weapons: Ron Paul on Iranian nukes: “I wouldn’t do that much about it”.

It’s a good thing this moonbat has less than zero chance of getting the nomination.

Charles,

I get the impression that you don't think Paul will drain enough votes away to be a spoiler a la Nader and Perot? Do you think that the Republicans like Rudy and Mitt should do anything to attract Paul voters, or should they shun and denounce them?

Blair's Law connects Denver and Egypt:


The Egyptian government-controlled newspaper ran the piece, by Bassem Ahmed Hassan, last week:

For more than a decade now, thousands of people in Denver, Colorado, have been spending the first weekend of October in the streets both celebrating and protesting. This year was no exception. Crowds from different national and ethnic backgrounds came out to participate in the Four Directions March; a celebration organised by the Transform Columbus Day Alliance (TCDA), an umbrella group of grassroots organisations that envision a world freed of Columbus's legacy. Afterwards they took to the streets to protest and block the "Convoy of Conquest", the name they use to label the Columbus Day Parade, and demand a change of the name of this official holiday. As usual, scores of protesters were arrested for violating the legally sanctioned "right" of the parade organisers to "honour their hero".

Or for loitering. Something like that. The "legal sanction" they were violating, of course, was the First Amendment. Hassan goes on to make the Glenn Morris argument that Palestinians are the Indians of the Middle East. Read whole thing, for its mendacity (not to mention its non sequiturs and sheer bad writing) is breathtaking.

Update: Nothing on Hassan at DU except that he seems to have completed a dissertation there. He's not listed among staff and faculty.

I'm eagerly waiting for Zombie's documentation of the San Francisco event. Perhaps the moonbats really will draft Ron Paul for a third party run.

If it were no big deal, why is Iran risking it all to get them? Saddam is ten toes up for bluffing having WMD including a nuke program. He gave up a pretty lavish lifestyle rather than come clean on his program. If Saddam had a nuclear weapon before he invaded Kuwait, he would still be there and might even be in Saudi Arabia by now...... logic escapes Ron Paul.

Why in God's name did this little troll throw his hat into the ring in the first place? The last time he ran for president in 1988, he got his butt kicked like a narc at a biker rally. He mustered up .47% of the vote. No one really knew him then. No one really knows him now (sans the tin-foil hat). And given these outrageous statements he's made it's more likely that as a third-party candidate he'd be lucky to muster up half of that .47% this time around.

The guy's a loon. He doesn't belong in Congress. He belongs in an asylum; locked away from anyone he could do harm to, in a straitjacket, and heavily medicated.

Physicists debate existence of "quantum" Ron Paul

A group of quantum physicists met today to debate the effect the mainstream media is having on the Ron Paul GOP primary campaign.

The debate, held at Liberty University in Southern California and chaired by Liberty's Professor Robert Bourland, brought together some of the most respected quantum physicists in the country. Discussion centered around whether or not Ron Paul exists based on mainstream media observation of him. In the end, it was agreed that more study and research money was needed.

The field of quantum physics came into existence in the early part of the 20th century. Quantum physics holds that atomic and subatomic particles can both exist and not exist at the same time until they are looked at by an observer. In a classic thought experiment known as "Schrödinger's Cat," a theoretical cat in a box is both alive and dead at the same time. Only when the lid is removed and an observer looks at the cat is the cat's fate decided. The concept of "spin" is also an important part of quantum physics; the spin of subatomic particles can be positive or negative.

After the debate, Professor Bourland held a press conference. "The existence of Ron Paul is in a state of flux," he claimed. "The mainstream media has yet to unambiguously observe him."

The professor then went on to explain that if the mainstream media acknowledges or even implies that Ron Paul is in the GOP primary campaign, then Paul's spin will be positive and he will pop into existence. But if a complete media blackout occurs or the media denies that Ron Paul is a real candidate, then his spin will be negative and Ron Paul will pop out of existence.

Joshua Finkelstein, an emeritus professor of political science who taught for 35 years at Pokeewah University in Michigan's upper peninsula, and who recently learned of Paul's subatomic dilemma, believes that a quantum Paul will pose problems for his campaign. "If quantum Paul pops out of existence, it could affect his online fundraising," Finkelstein speculates. "Imagine going to the Ron Paul campaign's website and not seeing a smiling Ron Paul above the Statue of Liberty. It could decrease donations, which could in turn affect the unofficial online donation graphs, which could in turn decrease donations, etc."

Jessie Benton, communications director for the Ron Paul campaign, when asked about quantum Paul said, "Who's Ron Paul?"

heh.

I spit on all pacifists and their laughable pretense of morality. Their sole purpose is to assist totalitarians and gratify their own childish impulse to provoke, injure, and denigrate. Millions have died, and millions more have been enslaved, because of their foolish sabotage and treason.

I literally do not believe in the sincerity of any pacifist. They are ALL liars, frauds, and fools. In a thousand years, the people of what I hope will be a more enlightened age will look back and wonder how anyone could have been so dishonest, or so arrogant.

I recall witnessing an exchange between a Gore voter and a Nader voter:

Gore voter: You're throwing away your vote and cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Nader voter: No, I'm cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Gore voter: *horrified silence*

In this example, the Nader voter was not a "Nader Raider" or true supporter, per se. On the contrary, that person's aim was to subvert Gore and the Democrats by outflanking them via pushing Nader as a liberal insurgent or alternative candidate.

Don't put it beyond the realm of possibility that the same can happen with Paul being the monkeywrench in 2008.

114 Shiplord Kirel  Fri, Nov 2, 2007 2:23:17pm

Beyond the other defenses presented here, we may see the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs as a warning, one presented at a stage in the development of nuclear weapons when a world-destroying holocaust could not result.

What if no atomic bomb had actually been used before hundreds or thousands of them had been made. We know the Soviet Union was working on nuclear weapons well before Hiroshima. Humanitarian compunction would scarcely have restrained Stalin or Beria. They would have put their slogan-spouting pacifists in the gulag, if any of the sanctimonious cowards had been willing to speak out.

Without the example of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, how likely is it that nuclear armed leaders would have found the restraint to avert disaster in later decades? There would have been tests and demonstrations aplenty, but would that have had the same effect as the heart-breaking scenes from Japan?

I for one doubt it very much. Is it moral to kill 150,000 people as a warning and demonstration? Would it be moral not to if there were the only real alternative to a nuclear showdown in the early 60s?

Then there were reports that a North Korean ship had docked and that "construction equipment" had been off loaded and hauled to the site, that's when the Israelis decided to bomb. There are two satellite pictures floating around on the net a before and after picture. Then the Israelis apologized for overflying Turkey. There were also reports that a super secret US system was used to "blind" all Syrian radar and shutoff all electricity in Syria the night of the attack. Now Al Jazeera says a US tactical nuke was used on the site. see link

If all this is true, Iran doesn't seem to be such a big problem now, does it?

I wouldn't say that at all.

Iran is a classic "rogue nation" in the fullest extent of the phrase. They believe the entire world order is immoral, and wish to rearrange it to suit their version of "the way things ought to be"... with them in the driver's seat, of course.

When Iran gets a handful of nukes, the odds are they will employ one or more of their proxy/sockpuppet organizations to use the bombs. They would like to keep their fingerprints off the operation, to keep their claim of "moral superiority" intact. [Yes, they think they are on some sort of moral high ground... and moonbats everywhere seem to agree.] Add in the apocalyptic world view of Ahmadinejad and some of the mullahs, and you've got an inherently unstable situation; a situation where deterrence is unlikely.

All of our weapons are of no use if we cannot prove they did it... or at least we will be forced into a pointless half-hearted counterstrike.

re: #77 opnion

Woman on the train this morning asked if Tibbets ever repented.
I said repent what? He did his duty. A terrible duty but necessary & saved a lot of lives that would have been lost in the Pacific

Next time anyone asked something that ignorant, ask her if she's ever heard of Operation Downfall, the planned invasion of Japan that Tibbets and his men made unnecessary. Ask her if 400,000 more dead American soldiers and probably 2 MILLION more dead Japanese would have satified her.

She supports Obama

Translation, no point talking to her. She's either an idiot or a loon.

re: #140 Edgesitter

I don't know if you have followed this but..............First reports were that Israeli commandos attacked a Syrian construction site at night and recovered samples of nuclear material, at which point Israeli jets leveled the place. Then there were reports that a North Korean ship had docked and that "construction equipment" had been off loaded and hauled to the site, that's when the Israelis decided to bomb. There are two satellite pictures floating around on the net a before and after picture. Then the Israelis apologized for overflying Turkey. There were also reports that a super secret US system was used to "blind" all Syrian radar and shutoff all electricity in Syria the night of the attack. Now Al Jazeera says a US tactical nuke was used on the site. see link

Missing a sarc tag? If not...
Quite the opposite. Iran has facilities deep underground as reported over, and over, and over in even the MSM. Wiping out their efforts won't be anywhere near as easy. Ask.com can be your friend if you use it.

I am from Texas and kinda keep up to date, but I never knew of Ron Paul till this year. His district is down by Galveston and east, I think.

150 Big Steve  Fri, Nov 2, 2007 5:21:15pm

Boy this is going to get me in trouble but the truth will set you free. I live in Ron Paul's district. It is the 14th Texas. If you look at it on a map it looks like a crab pinching Houston's ass. It stretches from Galveston county along the coast south. But to let the LGF world know there are already two fine Republicans in the race to unseat Ron Paul....Chris Peden and Andy Mann. The action is the Republican primary because the district is very conservative.

The great thing about an adversary's undertaking of a complex task is that you needn't destroy all their building blocks to crash the whole thing.

I am sure there are enough pieces above ground that destroying them will suffice for ten years worth of set-back.
or
They need currency badly enough that when their ability to export oil goes away their progress will stop.

[why would the usnavy have a 5th fleet if not to prevent iran exporting oil for cash and then exporting cash for nukes?]

re: #120 roguejew

What in G-d's name is Ru Paul doing on the Republican ticket? He is a Liberal in every letter of the word. His hatred for Israel and his weak stance on Defense is typical of a Liberal Democrat.

I've never understood this either. It's as though Ron Paul is a Manchurian candidate robot programmed by the Left to infiltrate the Right and sabotage them by being ridiculous.

To what kind of Republican voter does this weirdo hybrid of incoherent policies appeal? After 9/11, how can any thinking person think that pulling up the drawbridge type of isolationism can work? Iranian nukes are a problem for the United States and the entire world in fact. A candidate for the presidency in such deep denial is unqualified.

I wouldn't bet on the above ground scenario. They seem to have learned from the Osiris bombing. 10 years? Again, I wouldn't bet on it.
However, their refineries would make an excellent target for an air strike.

Can I call Ron Paul a deluded nutball now?
Like the LLL, he's wilfully blind and a fool.
I've been warning people about Iran since 1979, most of it falling on deaf ears.
People just don't want to see the terrible threat.

Iran is where Islam will die first I don't think it is wise to play into the hands of the regime and bomb them. War is the health of the state you know...

Bush is talking tough on Iran because he has the blessings of the sunni regimes who all hate Shiites.

I honestly believe that the Iranian regime could be 'killed with kindness' rather quickly and without the use of force. Ideas are powerful and of all middle eastern Muslims, the Iranian youth are the most receptive to western ideas.

We've tried to 'nation-build' twice so far with force and failed. I think it is worth a try to nation build in Iran through an alliance and trade.

It's worth a try at least. Iran is many years off from completing a bomb and if we become friends in the meantime they may just forget about it because they have too many other problems and their government is basically broke right now.

And from a long term strategic standpoint. I think it makes more sense to ally ourselves with an heretical sect of Islam (in our long war against Islam). Being allied with the Sunnis has not worked out very well it's like having a pet rattle-snake.

#152 Charles - A very inarticulate response. 'You're A Fool' - Really? That's the sum of your argument?

You know, I realize when I read the headlines, it doesn't matter which side anyone's on - the headline is a partial quote and is used to make your point, sort of like those tenth grade reports you might have written. The point being 'Ron Paul is Crazy! Don't vote for him!' Don't bother with balance, don't bother with complete sentences. Well you know, I watched the CNN interview and strangely enough there is more to his argument. Crazy Huh? But of course, there's no need to discuss the merits of that argument when you are busy demonizing someone you don't agree with.

I suspect given Ron's strong fundraising that he'll run as Libertarian after he drops out of the Republican race.

To put this into perspective. Look at what Israel has done with Syria. Did they posture and threaten Syria for years and years before taking out their nuke site? Nope. They just did what they thought had to be done.

All this tension and fear the administration is cultivating is because they want to attack Iran NOW. They don't want to wait until there is a genuine threat.

Iran is afraid, afraid that the fever of revolution is fading. They want a perpetual standoff with the USA so they can use it as a tool of agitation to remain in control of the country (think 1984) and also as a way to reignite the revolution.

They would love us to bomb them. They would love to see their countrymen and women become objects of sacrifice and fight to defend their country as they did in the iran-iraq war.

As it stands now the Iranians are depressed, drug users, and hungry for change.

Absent a military strike Iran will have Nuclear Weapons. The question is where do we go from there.

Do the Ronbots have any idea how Ron is going to perform all these miracles he says he wants to do? Do they think walking into the White HouseCasa de Blanko will allow him to do these things? I would think he would have more power as a Congressman to get his ideas started.
