I have been suspecting that you have little or no understanding of Ron Paul's position on this for some time.
Ron read wikileaks into the Congressional record?

The cable implies that the ambassador was merely relaying Bush's own position. And sure, Bush might of assumed Iraq only wanted a "partial invasion", but considering Saddam's past history, the fact that he claimed all of Kuwait, and what happened in the Iran/Iraq war, that's a pretty stupid assumption.

Sorry Ron that was no smoking gun that Bush encouraged the attack. So the ambassador basically said the US wanted a noninterventionist approach and friendship with everyone and now THAT is interventionist???. So a border dispute turns into taking over the entire country of kuwait.
So now if Rand had said he had no interest in Israeli/ arab border disputes and a freaking nuclear war breaks out in the mediterranean/ middle east area it will be Rand Paul ENCOURAGED it.
lol, you've blundered your entire premise because we armed Iraq, then they asked us if they could use the weapons we gave them to kill innocent people and we essentially said, "OK!"
Of course the REASON we said "OK!" was because we wanted them to attack....so that we could go in later and attack them!!! An entire propaganda campaign ensued!! Of course the American public never knew that we encouraged them to invade Kuwait and armed them, that was all background shit that would have been really nice for the American people to know, but it would have spoiled their agenda.
It's really too bad that you've been here this long and still don't know how things work. Ron Paul knows how these things work.

Bush wanted to broaden a friendship but he said nowhere he wanted ANY invasion. Not even the ambassator said that. But yes it was a pretty stupid assumption.

Nobody claimed that Bush said he wanted an invasion, just that he didn't mind one.
But there is a lot of ground between two nations having a border dispute and nogotiating the lines versus invading so I don't think anyone one with the information presented can say he "didn't mind".

Ron Paul: We need a Wikileaks doc dump about the Fed
“What we need is more Wikileaks on the Federal Reserve. Can you imagine what it would be like if we have every conversation of the last 10 years with the Federal Reserve people and the Federal Reserve chairman, with all the other central bankers of the world, and every agreement and quid pro quo that they have? I mean, it would be massive. The people would be so outraged.”
