(USWGO Alt. News – CSPAN Watching – Writer Brian D. Hill)A video that has surfaced on YouTube from the Afghanistan war debate yesterday, that is over withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan, that is by a YouTube user nicknamed MoxNewsDotCom, has brought out Ron Paul’s views on how we are easily slipping into war, that the Afghanistan war served on purpose and that it was an illegal and immoral war. A rough transcript by Brian D. Hill with some help from members of Ron Paul Forums was also created to create the article about Ron Pauls views over the war in Afghanistan and also he talked about how we slid into Iraq for war as well.

Now according to Ron paul’s said: “I wanna quote the first line of the resolution passed back in 2001 what the purpose of giving the president the power which is an illegal transfer of power to the president to pursue war at will.”, hes bringing out from the 2001 resolution is that the President has the executive authority to start war against any country he chooses at will which seems to be the type of power a military dictator has. Ron Paul also stated “It was said earlier on that is hard to quit a war and we shouldn’t be quitting. I’ll tell you what the real problem is: it’s too easy to start a war, it’s too easily to get involved and that is our problem.”, which is true because once we get in a war it is very hard to just simply stopping it and may end up causing an invasion against our country if we just simply end a war but the real problem is that we are easily slipping into unjustifiable wars without much or any probable cause.

Ron Paul also mentioned that reason Osama Bin Laden took credit for the attacks.

Ron Paul also stated: “Right now the evidence is not there to prove that but certainly Bin Laden was very sympathetic, loved it, and wanted to take credit for and one of the reasons he wanted to take credit was that he said it would do three things for what he wanted and first it would do it would increase his recruitment effort for Al-Qaeda and his attack against western powers who have become overly involved in control of the middle east and have had a plan for 20 years to remake the middle east.”, this means what Ron Paul was talking about was Osama Bin laden wanted to take take credit for the attacks, that several reasons why was that he needed more recruited to his terrorist organization, that he wanted to keep attacking the western powers since they have become overly involved in control of the middle east which has been planned for 20 years to remake the middle eastern countries.

The next statement by Ron Paul was, “The Taliban didn’t launch an attack against the United States. The government of Afghanistan didn’t launch it. The best evidence is it of those 20 individuals two of them might have passed through Afghanistan. A lot of the planning was done in Germany, and Spain and the training was done here in the United States.”, even though the the American people were taught to blame the Taliban and Afghanistan for the attacks against the United States, yet there was not enough evidence to prove that the Afghanistan Government or the Taliban did the attacks against the United States in September 11, 2001, and Saddam Hussein actually wanted out of the whole war according to the Crooks and Liars blog.

Ron Paul also believed that Osama Bin Laden had a plan for our Government to demoralize the people and go bankrupt just as the Soviet Union did. Ron Paul stated over the bankruptcy issue that, “The people will become demoralized because history shows that all empires and because they expand too far and they bankrupt the country just as the soviet system came down and that’s what Bin Laden was hoping for, he also said that the dollar spent will bankrupt this country and we are bankrupt and yet there is no hesitation to quit spending one cent overseas.”, and what Ron Paul us saying is that our government has actually let Bin Laden won since we just started allowing torture of innocent detainees and the fact we kept the war going until the deficit is very high, and the fact that we lost our rights in America.

Ron Paul also stated this fact that, “This war is an illegal war, This war is an immoral war, this war is a unconstitutional war, and at least you can say it’s illegitimate if there’s no real purpose in this.”, which means that this whole war has been for nothing but a selfish Agenda under George W. Bush, which is actually being continued by Barack H. Obama, and this war needs to be stopped now because many people around the world was hoping with the presidency of Obama that the wars would end immediately but yet he has not done anything to actually end the useless wars going on but kept them going and even sent 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan.

So according to everything Ron Paul says from the rough transcript recorded, that we didn’t have enough evidence to prove that Afghanistan was responsible for the attacks of 9/11, that the Taliban didn’t attack us on 9/11, that the hijackers didn’t just come from Afghanistan but also did planning in the United States, Germany, and Spain, that the president was being given powers illegally to jump-start war at will, that the war in Afghanistan had continued with no real purpose which is draining our countries finances and slipping our nation into a mass black hole of debt, that this war is now an illegal, an unconstitutional, and a immoral war.

Also I like what Ron Paul said at the end when he said “We need to change our foreign policy and come back to our senses and defend this country and not pretend to be policemen of the world.”, because with the way our government acts it is as if we are the Policemen of the world but the problem is we don’t have the financial support to police the whole world, we don’t have the manpower and may even have to jump-start the draft and have more troops then even civilians in this country, and we would have to set up secure buildings across the world all set with big enough military to police the world but that is actually a bad idea because that is technically a World Government, a new world order which alternative news sites, truthers, activists, and Alex Jones warned about.

The United States does not need to be policemen of the world because it will breed major power and corruption, and may bring a end to sovereignty worldwide, and will lead the United States in the same fashion as the Soviet Union and Germany during World War II.

All countries should maintain and have to right to remain sovereign, and the rights to run their governments however they want to unless they are a threat to other countries or the world. If a empire or superpower will not allow other countries that don’t want help from superpowers, to operate as sovereign nations then we have interfered in other countries affairs and that creates a lot of political adversaries.

Will Barack H. Obama be exactly like George W. Bush? Will “The Decider” legacy continue with Obama? well we’ll just have to continue watching his actions and if they don’t match his words then President Barack H. Obama is no better then the other screw-ups in capital hill, and the last president that’s a failure.

Buzz this!
