"In 2006, when the Iraqi government was in place, a poll by the University of Maryland found that seventy-one per cent of Iraqis wanted their government to ask the Americans to leave within a year"
"More Iraqis than ever—fifty-seven per cent—say that violence against American forces is acceptable, diminishing the prospect of order being restored as long as the occupation continues."

60 Minutes interview with 2001-2003 Secretary of Treasury Paul O'Neil, with accusations that Bush vehemently pursued the invasion & occupation of Iraq, and planned geographic locations for oil corporations to explore Iraq's oil fields - all before 9/11, from his first day in office.

C-SPAN interview with Dick Cheney explaining that an invasion of Iraq would lead to occupation, becoming a political quagmire for the region with all the surrounding nations who want a piece of Iraq.


This collection would do well to inform people; Ron Paul is the only candidate that is dealing with the reality of Iraq. I'm sure there are plenty more to add to the list.

These articles do well to support RP's position. We should collect articles and reports to support RP's position on topics, and put them in a post together like this.

This will be a tool for supporters to print articles and use when debating RP's position, to help people take him seriously. People don't understand when they hear 'abolish the Department of Education' - we really need to prove to people these are sound ideas and perspectives!
