I simply call that "accidental success".
Obama didn't start either war..This isn't a movie..Civilians die in covert ops as well. The issue is not invading countries for no reason.

Gergen didn't listen to Paul?

In the eyes of his sycophants, each speech and each debate performance are always "the best ever."

Ron Paul is the only voice of sanity pointing out that THIS IS WAR we're talking about and PEOPLE WILL DIE! WAR serious business and every single one of these guys is a CHICKENHAWK and NUTCASE FEAR-MONGER!
  • Our CONSCIENCE should give us pause when engaging in UNJUSTIFIED WARS.
  • Our CONSTITUTION should keep us from conducting UNLAWFUL WARS.
  • Our FINANCIAL SENSIBILITIES should stop us from waging UNNECESSARY WARS.
Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, and Obama ignore all 3 reasons to END THESE WARS!!!
Well said, though I think we will be in Syria first, followed by Iran. I totally believe we are funding and equipping the Syrian "opposition" to establish yet another puppet dictator, and have more control around Iran.

Newt won the debate and Santorum got crushed(not sure he even belonged on the stage with the other three). Paul and Romney had their moments but Newt really shined most of the night. Too bad he is Newt and has so much baggage, it would be fun to watch him debate Obama.

...and he gave no plan on how to prevent it. He's against sanctions, having bases in the area as a deterrent or direct military intervention. Paul says a lot of cutesy things but never gives details that are practical.

Romney didn't help himself, Santorum didn't hurt himself. The other two don't matter.

I'm thinking that is exactly the "only thing" they should be doing in this
regard. And no, I don't think I'm alone in that thought.

Right. He should have said "courageous". Talk about dumbing down.
Have things gotten so bad that we'd elect someone who doesn't even know english grammar well enough that you use adjectives to describe nouns?
