Ron Paul’s Questionable Policy

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Libertarian Ron Paul says he is in favor of cutting “military spending,” but not “defense spending.”

He seems to think that he can thread that particular needle by bringing all U.S. forces home from overseas. And Congressman Paul shares President Obama’s belief that we can end wars with those like the Taliban by walking away from them.

Unfortunately, this notion totally misconstrues what motivates the Taliban. Yes, they want their homeland free of foreign occupiers. They are also ideologically committed to the triumph of a supremacist Islamic doctrine called shariah. It requires them to engage in holy war to that end – and to help other jihadists doing the same.

We won’t save any money by surrendering safe havens to our enemies. Anyone who thinks otherwise is unfit to serve as our Commander-in-Chief.
