Further "blasphemy" from Paul's lips was that there has never been a proven connection between Iraq & 9/11.


Given that he says all that, don't you find it interesting that Ron Paul has received more military campaign contributions than any other Republican candidate? Perhaps because most of the troops who have served over there know its a losing battle, Paul is the only Republican who is admitting it.
