Iraq: US troops then (and now?)
Questioned, in a Wednesday RT interview, about North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's recent comment that there is
no intention to stay in Iraq "longer than necessary," libertarian communicator Ron Paul quipped that "their definition of 'necessary' is a lot different than a lot of other peoples'." In contrast to the foreign intervention proponents, including those in the United States government, Paul notes that the
Iraq parliament has voted that the US military should leave Iraq - something Paul wrote about in an
editorial earlier this week.
While Paul says in the interview that he wishes the American people would say "enough is enough" and demand an end to the US military intervention, he concludes regarding the US foreign intervention in Iraq and beyond that "I guess we're gonna continue to do this until we go bankrupt,
and then we'll have to leave."
