“[He said] we shouldn’t act like kings of the world. Well, if we acted like kings of the world much more often and showed how powerful we were, we wouldn’t have all the mayhem.”

Well, talk about completely missing the point.

he's the CIA guy who endorses waterboarding. I don't think he is very bright.

I don't think it would take Hercule Poirot to work that one out

Did Cavuto tell him 'shut up,you're an idiot'? Then maybe the audience couldn't tell?

So Simmons argument is that $1.5 TRILLION foreign policy per year isn't enough to be "Kings of the World"? How many TRILLIONS does he believe we should spend to put goat herders into submission? HOW MUCH DO WE BORROW TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE EVER RETALIATES AGAINST AMERICAN FORCES OVERSEAS? What does that cost?

Give us your checkbook Simmons so we can drain your accounts first THEN maybe we talk about how much the rest of us should spend in blood and treasure.

Fuckhead.

We have to beat the drums of war in this hatred and go over and do these things and then all of a sudden we have an epidemic of suicides of American soldiers that come back, who ask, ‘What am I doing over here shooting drone missiles and little kids dying?’”
- Ron Paul

"Failing to meet the promises we have made to our troops would be unjust and immoral," Paul said in an open letter to Obama. "Our military men and women have fought bravely. In exchange, our country made a promise to them, and we must honor it."

Hmmm...one of the few instances I can think of that Dr. Paul is clearly wrong.

So the military have fought bravely by shooting drone missiles and killing little kids? Seems to me that's what a coward would do, not a brave man.

and not rewarding the military with benefits for shooting drone missiles and killing little kids is unjust and immoral? Isn't the country too broke and can't afford to keep rewarding the military for shooting drone missiles and killing little kids? Isn't it un-libertarian for the government to extort money from me every April 15th and give it to someone who is shooting drone missiles and killing little kids?

and what about the promise the military made to defend and uphold the Constitution, to refuse to obey any unconstitutional orders and refuse to participate in unconstitutional wars? If the military can't keep the promise it has made to the country....why should the country honor the promises it has made to the military?

This sure seems inconsistent with his non-interventionist foreign policy and his record of voting against war funding.
