Enough Anthrax to devastate a half-dozen US states can be chucked in a refrigerator anywhere out on the campo. And would we want to hit such a target anyway even if our bombs were smart enough to find it? Here's what Ron Paul has to say:
WASHINGTON, DC -- As US troops prepared to once again be used as
political pawns by the President, Rep. Ron Paul called on Bill Clinton
to resign for the good of the country and the safety of American
soldiers.
"Once again President Clinton is using American troops to deflect
attention from his record of lies, distortions, obstruction of justice
and abuse of power," said Rep. Paul after arriving in Washington on
Wednesday afternoon. "Just a couple months ago, the president launched
an attack against the nation of Sudan in an attempt to cover over his
personal problems; an attack which we know now had no basis whatsoever
in protecting US interests."
Paul said the Clinton ruse with Iraq is not only shameful, but
recklessly dangerous.
"Even if one can look past the constitutional prohibition against the US
policing the world, the timing of this new attack against Iraq screams
of hypocrisy by a president who has shown a complete disregard for our
military, our Constitution and our national defense," said Rep. Paul, a
former Air Force flight surgeon. "Iraq has been 'disobeying' the United
Nations for years now, but suddenly, on the verge of his impeachment,
this president decides to launch an attack, in essence an
unconstitutional declaration of war."
Rep. Paul said that it is "despicable for a man who ran from military
service to now use soldiers as a shield from impeachment."
"How many American soldiers and innocent Iraqi children will die so that
this president can hide from justice? How many American citizens are now
at increased risk from terrorist attack because of this president? How
much innocent blood will have to flow to cover this president's sins?
This attack has no basis in protecting our national security and only
increases the danger to our people." |
