Paul: Congress supports bombing Iran

Republican congressman Ron Paul

Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says members of Congress have voiced support for a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Iran.

"I hear members of Congress saying 'if we could only nuke them'," said the congressman Thursday.

"If we do (attack) it is going to be a disaster," he told the Alex Jones Show.

The 72-year-old veteran politician added that the atmosphere in Congress indicates that a military strike on Iran has already been condoned.

"It is still totally bewildering to me when I see men and women in the Congress that I know and like doing this just to get along. Most of them will say, 'I agree with you on all you say but the Iranians are bad people and they might attack us some day," Paul said.

Referring to House Congressional Resolution 362 that he calls the 'Virtual Iran War Resolution', Paul explained the president plans to impose 'an absolute blockade of the entire country of Iran, and punish any country or any business group around the world if they trade with Iran'.

Despite the recent UN nuclear watchdog report conceding that there is no link between the use of nuclear material and the 'alleged studies' of weaponization in Iran's nuclear facilities, Washington accuses Tehran of pursuing a military nuclear program.

It doesn't surprise me......seems too many leaders of the world can't wait to see us all at war. And then for the life of me......when they use sanctions to control a country with......why would anyone say open borders and free trade and dependancy on another country for anything is good? If countries don't want to be bullied they would be concentrating on self-suffiency, atleast for the basics of life. While our government is determined in making us dependant on these other countries. Not exactly countries I want calling the shots for me either. China...etc.
