The Republican party found out that peace is popular, and unless they advocate it (in terms even the hawkiest of chickenhawks can swallow) they will lose in November.
So they're saying that the uncivilized barbarians in that far off land were driven into a tizzy over burnt pieces of paper, and if they don't want our noble bombs in their country they can go screw! We'll go straight home and leave them to their savage, backwards ways!
I'm cool with that. Let's end this war by any means possible, then work on stopping the next one. You know they'll be longing for another in no time.

Bandwagon jumpers. They can't deny much longer what Ron and others have been saying for years. We are bogged down there and it has cost us thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. We will be forced out by going bankrupt, or we can choose our own timetable and try to save face by saying we've accomplished what we wanted to there and it is time to come home.
Expect Shammity to be saying the same thing, soon, they all read from the same script.
Of course, I don't expect them to say they are siding with him, they will just use his arguments as their own as they have down many times already, "Ron Pauling" our stance on Afghanistan.

Does he actually name Ron Paul and compliment him? I'm not going to listen to that tool for 5 minutes unless I'm getting a rongasm.

I'd rather them jump on the peace bandwagon than continue with the warmongering.
The onslaught is upon them, they are and will continue to position themselves for the self evident reality that Dr Pauls posistions on FP are the future (though I bet they feel it is wrong)
We are winning, they sense it... they are CYA's

No. It's just a "Thinks are so botched up and Obama's screwed up that we ought to consider leaving now if we're going to apologize and possibly punish soldiers for burning the Koran". Rush didn't give up his chickenhawk card by that statement.

Even a popular morning radio show in my area (that has ripped on Paul a lot-think he's a mitt guy) was taking that same line today, doing all they could, to get a guy from the Military to agree with them that afghanastan is a pointless waste and that we should leave.
Something is up.
Maybe they think it's a huge way to get the troops to settle down their passion for getting behind Paul.

They are making way for an Iranian conflict and they know the public will not support all these wars, so they are ready to make concessions. Scumbags, all of them.

Ah...this makes sense! If this is the true purpose, boy, then Rush is a SNAKE.

We are winning the argument.
Listen, the argument on the economy has come Paul's way. The argument on the Fed has comes Paul's way. Now, the foreign policy argument is coming Paul's way (even if they don't quite understand the big picture of "WE TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN!")
Once the argument begins to come our way on social issues and the drug war, you will know that Paul is President. (whether he wins this silly election or not!)

No, he doesn't name Ron, but listen at 2:16.
RON IS RIGHT
People like Rush think Paul would apologize. He wouldn't. He would just leave and not cede any sovereignty to global government organizations (NATO, UN).

This is a slippery slope for them. If they start advocating shades of non-interventionism more of their followers will wake up. I was attracted to Ron Paul by his fiscal policies. The foreign policy took some time to digest, but only because I had been so inundated by talk radio with the militant Islam rhetoric. Rush, Hannity, Bennett and the like better be careful...you can't have it both ways on foreign policy.

I thought that at first. Isn't that too obvious though? lol Why not just say that or just redeploy them to Iran as needed. It's no secret they all want to bomb Iran and that our military is getting stretched to thin by this madness.

Eaxactly. It will make it much harder for them to do a 180 tomorow convincing everyone we do need to go occupy Iran.
I think they want to end" the Troops support Paul fever" ASAP by making it look like they are all going to get to come home if they support anyone else just the same.

It's been hashed about that Iran is twice the size of Afghanistan and their military is about 3x more powerful in manpower and weaponry. A war with Iran will cost nearly twice the amount to wage then what Afghanistan cost us. Plus there's the possibility of having Russia get involved. You are seeing the beginning stages of WW3 being laid out and its going to get ugly if it does. The war-mongers, in their delusional minds think its a winnable war, but it will not. Their pea-brains think pulling troops out of Afghan is the winnable strategy.
