Ron Paul questioning General Petraeus

In the halls of the Federal Government there is but one plain-spoken statesman who is speaking out against all aggressive "wars" and imperial intervention. Whilst the capitulant, complicit Democrats in Congress (including Clinton and Obama) scarcely and feebly "protest" the "war," one Representative, the Honorable Ron Paul of Texas (R), takes the bull by the horns and unforgivingly asks the difficult questions of the neocon warmongers that many Americans who oppose "the war" (some 2/3 of the American people) would ask. They are largely simple and sober questions. Yet the warlords anointed to engineer the chaos in Iraq/n who dishonor the uniforms they wear (i.e. one General David H. Petraeus) cannot or will not give direct and honest answers.

Our country is devolving into a surrogate military dictatorship before our eyes. But, only if we choose to, we can take back our Constitutional Republic from the blood-thirsty vampires who seek to suck the life out of a once-great nation and wage interminable war upon the good people of America and innocent civilians around the world.

"We don't have to start a brand new revolution...All we have to do is restore the original Constitution." -Ron Paul

"We don't have to start a brand new revolution...All we have to do is restore the original Constitution." -Ron Paul

Though I commend you for watching, your discouragement is born out of shallow thinking on strategy. The good congressman had but 5 minutes, and, not being allowed to enter the record with such damning questions when off the clock, and seeing the inevitability of the 'Broadway show under way', choose again with the brilliance he is known for in debate, to set the record first of all with rhetorical questions which can both enlighten the ignorant, as well as condemn the perfidious actors on the stage, along with their handlers.
Following this tactic he asks the question so loaded with truth, again the poison pawn of chess which they could not accept and answer, instead having to 'cop out' intellectually, thereby allowing Dr. Paul to slam home the checkmate of logic... the obvious crime of treason to the constitution, the 'king's new clothes' exposed!
They are undone and revealed as the puppets they are, and their well known 'chain of command' of perfidious handlers are undressed along with them!
It was, if not the best, then certainly a brilliant strategy, which will testify for congressman Paul's patriotism and defense, but these neocon's prosecution, in that great day of accounting which is sure to come.
Dr. Paul has in no way hurt, and in every way helped, the revolution, towards return to the rule of law. It is for us to run with the impetus given, and in running some will run tactically and some need charge the hill straight on!
For my part I am examining the congressional race in my district... it will take a little longer to assess the possibilities.

Feels good to have a president like that for the first time in American modern history. It doesn't matter why they select, Ron is my president.

P.R. event and their opportunity to prepare the stage for a "war on terrorism" with Iran.

And to think the Democrats rejected this man and the Republicans rejected Ron Paul. When you get more war, more inflation and higher taxes, don't blame these men and their supporters.

Peace

Did you see the look on their faces? Like, oh no, not questions from Ron Paul, I might look like completely stupid! Just like the look on McCain's face when Dr. Paul questioned him about the president's financial working groups!

Ron Paul trumps General Petraeus! Libera me, let the truth break, what my fears make--Leslie Phillips

Ron Paul just owned him. Great Job! It's nice to see his passion come out

It gives me no greater pleasure then to see those a$$holes squirm in their chairs. It's just kind of scary that without Ron Paul, and maybe a few others(like Kucinich), who would be asking these important questions. Is there anyone else out there that gives a flying fu$k about us?

to see these bastards squirm. GO RON GO.

.. thank you. I've been waiting for a link to this all day.

=)

The media will go beserk...good. "The popular vote," my a$$. The primaries and caucuses were rigged...Ron Paul has alot more support than insane McCain, and it's starting to show at the local level.

Thank God, we do not live in a democracy.

The delegate system will prove the elections were a fraud.

MUTINY IN MINNEAPOLIS

George Bush and ALL his gang will fall at least 110 stories deeper into hell than Hitler and his gang.

We pray that the people of Iran will be kept from these murdering bastards that are running our nation.

We are not only crying out for your peace Iran, we are also crying out for our own peace from these same war mongering tyrants here in the USA.
We want them brought to trial for crimes against humanity and punished according to the full exent of the law.

Putting on my Monday morning quarterback jersey, there's one question I really wish Ron had asked the general: "In the U.S. military, especially in the wake of the Nuremberg Trials that firmly established 'just following orders' as a non-excuse, officers have the responsibility to refuse illegal orders from their superiors. Given your position and that responsibility, what do you believe would constitute an illegal order from the Commander in Chief? In particular, would a clear violation of the plain language of the U.S. Constitution regarding the declaration of war be illegal for the President?"

It's no suprise that Dr. Paul isn't there.

Question: Please describe in detail the evidence that Iraq attacked the US.

Question: What have been and what do you foresee as unintended consequences of this war for the US?

Question: Please describe victory in Iraq, and does the military have a clearly defined mission?

Question: Is Iraq a police action or nation building, or do you believe the Iraqis would have rowed over in their canoe and destroyed us if we did nothing?

Question: Do you think Jesus would have been a good fighter pilot?

Question: After guns are administered to the Iraqis, how many of those guns then were involved in killing an American Soldier?

Question: Since our brave soldiers swear to uphold the constitution, do you feel the administration should be held to the same standards and not usurp their constitutional powers?

Come on Dr. Paul! Quick jabbing questions and make him answer! sigh.

That video was really discouraging to me, and I know you guys probably don't want to hear the content of my post, but I guess I'm posting it here hoping for someone to refute me and give me some hope back...

I'm sorry, but this was a complete and utter wasted opportunity on the good Doctor's part. This video made me sad and frustrated, and I feel it perfectly illustrates Ron's achilles heel in this election. He spends all of his time trying to get his point across but he never really MAKES a point. We the supporters agree with him and say things like "He won" but the general public just shakes their head and mistakes his passion for "kookiness."

This was a hearing about IRAQ! He asks all these critically important questions ABOUT IRAQ then says "There's no time for answers to those, so how about Iran?" WHAT!?

I think I'm finally starting to accept that Ron was never in this to win the Presidency, He was in it to get his message across (Which he has done extremely well at, granted).

I've always wondered why so many people dropped off the bandwagon so quickly after the primaries and such. I don't think it's because they didn't think he could win, I think it's that they realized that Ron himself didn't think he could. Truly depressing.

Ron Paul is the best!!! And he's getting better all the time. http://www.youtube.com/wa... ..

Even the very conservative voice of Congressman Forbes asked simply, "Is it worth it to pay $658 Billion when people can't even afford gasoline?"

Great question. And of course, no answer worth mentioning.

Helping to Restore the Republic.

& made too much sense for the shell game crew.

wow! - way to go doc! your question was simple and THE most important question that could be asked.

i don't know how he does it? and in this video you could tell he was really, really po'd about the topic.

if i had been in the room you would have had to hold me back from strangling that son of a bitch patraeus - I DON'T KNOW! - I DON'T KNOW! - he says - unf****** believable!

you gotta have enormous respect for the maginificent doctor to just come and ask the question!

how does he do it? how does he remain so calm?

god bless you big time doc! god bless you!

Im for the good Dr. all the way, but its always good to know thy enemy and id be very interested to compare their cspan questioning to our own??

We are so lucky to have such an honest congressman doing his best to protect us.

Thank you Dr Paul.

Produce the biggest boost to the campaign since the creation of the money bomb and the HIGH TIDE commercial? At the same time, you'll:
o Settle the score with a leading media hypocrite
o Expose the Globalist billionaire who owns the leading media hypocrite
o Put the mainstream media on notice, we are a force to be reckoned with, not trifled with
o Demonstrate to the mainstream media we now have powers that may be equal to, if not superior to theirs

Apparently asking the Commander of the military forces in Iraq whether or he has the authority to continue operations there without the approval of Congress is too difficult to answer.

If you don't understand the chain of command, you don't belong anywhere in it. For General Petraeus to not answer the final question Dr. Paul posed the way he ought to have answered that question (no, as Dr. Paul indicated) is tantamount to treason. When our military feels they only have to answer to one man who has declared himself dictator instead of Congress as he IS F'ING SWORN TO is an absolute disgrace at the very minimum.

I'm disgusted now.
