Foreign policy will be back on the table in SC. In the upcoming week, the IRAN issue will be debated again.
RP will be attacked on his position on IRAN.
Here is my question:
Should RP just tell the truth about IRAN and expose the warmongers?
The truth is: All this Iran war talk is NOT about nuclear bombs (they're not even close to one and they wouldn't be a threat if they got one), it's NOT about Israel (they don't want US support, they want to take care of the problem on their own; they have 300 nuclear bombs), it's NOT about Al Quaida (they hate Iran), IT IS ABOUT OIL (and natural gas). In essence, the reasons why all the GOP draft dodgers aka "chickenhawks" are the same they were before the IRAQ war: No wmds, no Israel, no Al Quaida. It's always about the oil, stupid! We can also go a step further and say: It's BIG oil, stupid! The multinational oil companies who are ripping the American people off at the gas pump. They're willing to double oil prices due to another war, just to make more profits. Additionally, exposing this would also be a great opportunity to explain inflation, because a) a war requires more money printing due to deficit spending and b) oil is up in dollars a lot in the last decade, but it FELL in terms of gold.
RP basicly said all of the above during the 2008 campaign, see here:
He repeated this argument partially during the current cycle:
There was also a commitee hearing in 2008 on oil and the dollar where Dr Paul made great points on the the value of the dollar and it's impact on the price of oil, sorry for the aweful sound.
