there was this so-called attempt to kill the saudi or the iranian ambassador, you know. that kind of stuff is just way too much even mainstream media had to admit that was totally phony and a pretext to attack iran. yeah, that was the real excuse, to blame it on them. it s just another propaganda stunt, as far as i m concerned. so the government of the united states is i mean, i understand there s neocons out there that would like us to go after iran and a lot of other people too as well, that don t care about iran, and care about our security. but to suggest that the united statesç would put together a phony plot to go after the saudi ambassador, so we could do it, to build the case against iran, is that credible talk? it doesn t seem like it. but you know, a lot of people are talking about ron paul s views on national security and foreign policy, generally, and that s out of line with the mainstream of the republican party. but i m not so sure that some of his views. ....
