Congressman Ron Paul has warned millions of radio listeners that the
US is heading into a deadly confrontation with Iran, revealing his
disbelief at members of Congress who have openly voiced support for
a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the country.
"If we do (attack) it is going to be a disaster," the Congressman
told the Alex Jones show this Thursday.
"I was astounded to see on one of the networks the other day that
the debate was not are we going to attack? but are we going to
attack before or after the election?" Paul continued.
The Congressman recently voiced his concern over House Congressional
Resolution 362 which he has dubbed a 'Virtual Iran War Resolution'.
"If that comes up it is demanding that the President put on 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." Paul told listeners.
Experts have predicted gas will rise to $6 per gallon if the
resolution passes, Paul believes that may happen anyway just by
anticipation.
"The frightening thing is they say they are taking no options off
the table, even nuclear first strike." The Congressman stated.
Paul believes from talking with his contacts in and around Congress
that a strike on Iran has already been green lighted.
"That is my sense because the Democratic leadership in the House are
proposing no resistance whatsoever, we saw this when a supplemental
bill came up and the President asked for $107 billion for the war,
the Democrat leadership gave them $162 billion.
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... I hear members
of Congress saying 'if we could only nuke them'."
Ron Paul also spoke in detail about his new Campaign For Liberty
Group and his views on the upcoming election.
