Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has declined to
endorse either John McCain or Barack Obama, and he told CNN’s Kiran
Chetry on Thursday that he sees “no difference” between them because
both espouse foreign policies that only create more threats to our
national interests.
Chetry asked Paul, “Do you think it’s a valid argument … that a John
McCain administration would be a four-year extension of the Bush
administration?”
“Sure, but I think that’s what’s going to happen with Obama, too,”
Paul replied. “There’s no difference.”
“Their foreign policies are identical,” Paul explained. “They want
more troops in Afghanistan. They want to send more support to
Georgia to protect the oil line there. Neither one says bring home
the troops from Iraq from the bases — you know the bases are going
to stay there, the embassy as big as the Vatican, that’s going to
remain. So their foreign policies are exactly the same. They’re both
very, very aggressive with Iran. So I would say there’s no
difference.”
“How would you handle these global threats, then, if it’s not to
send our troops there and make sure that we’re protected?” Chetry
asked.
“We create the threats!” Paul replied emphatically. “Why are we on
the borders of Russia provoking the Russians? I mean, the Georgians
initiated the military attack against these enclaves where there
were mostly Russians. … It’s the fact that we’re over there that we
create these crises.”
“Isn’t it part of our duty, though, to support these fledgling
democracies that ask for our help?” asked Chetry.
“No, it’s not our responsibility to do that,” Paul said firmly. “We
should endorse the principle but not send troops and money. … Once
we get over there, we just aggravate the situation.”
“We bombed Serbia in order for Kosovo to become independent,” Paul
concluded. “Now the Russians are doing the same thing. … It’s this
total inconsistency.”
