I posted this on the other forums, since everyone has moved; I'll post it here.
Instead of always talking about how the war creates new enemies or simply costs too much money (valid and strong points, but bad sound bites).
The goal is to convey victory and strength to his message of peace. The goal is to 'pander' to the Republican base. Make sure they realize a vote for Paul is a vote for Security.
Here's the sound bytes after being thought out some more:
"I offer real victory to terrorism. Jefferson defeated terrorism
without trampling on the constitution, and so can I." (read the book "Jefferson's
war on Terrorism")
"Entangling alliances hamper the war on terror, look at where we're at with Pakistan. We must make peace with all nations. And scour the globe for terrorists."
"Redirect our troops BACK TO the Global War on Terror. We can launch
offensive much better from home than we can in Iraq."
"Failed intelligence has caused the deaths of over 6,000 Americans. I
want to fix the intelligence issues to win the war on terror."
"You can't hit a fly with a baseball bat. And at the same time you can't
chase a small group of terrorists with 175,000 men. It doesn't work."
"We need to win the war on terror with tactical missions from a home
base."
"We spend more money protecting Iraq civilians than we do protecting our
own civilians. Bring the troops home and let's go get the bad guys."
"I want to win the war on terror without giving the terrorists the
satisfaction of removing your liberties."
"I WILL defeat terrorism without attacking the freedom of America."
"We must go on the offensive on terrorism instead of waiting in Iraq for
terrorists to come to our military."
"The war in Iraq doesn't make America safer, going after terrorists
makes America safer."
"Terrorists love our debt. It is a national security issue."
"Look what China is threatening to do. Imagine if our enemy held our
debt."
"Economics the the thinking mans war. That's how we beat the Soviet
Union, and that's how our enemies will attack us."
