Paul right to oppose Iran war; intelligence report is the proof

The Times Herald | December 6, 2007

The National Intelligence Estimate on Iran was released Dec. 3, and it reinforces Ron Paul's position that a pre-emptive attack on Iran would be unwarranted.

In response, the congressman and presidential candidate issued the following statement:

"We needlessly and foolishly threaten Iran, even though they have no nuclear weapons. I find it incomprehensible that as the failure of our Iraq policy becomes more evident, some want the same kind of policy toward Iran. A policy of peace, trade and diplomacy, is superior," Paul said

The NIE report states Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research judges Iran is unlikely to have the capability to produce a nuclear weapon before 2013.

While presidential candidates with virtually zero foreign policy experience, such as Rudy Giuliani, are advocating escalation, Dr. Paul, an Air Force veteran and member of the House Foreign Relations Committee, has been a staunch opponent of expanding war into Iran.

In addition, as of Dec. 4, with four weeks left in the fourth quarter, Paul's presidential campaign has raised more than $10.6 million. He has doubled his fund-raising total from the third quarter and has already surpassed the third quarter totals for each of the other Republican primary contenders who have received much more attention from the media.

When asked why his fundraising is so successful, Paul's simple and straight-forward answer was: "Freedom is popular."
