It’s no wonder the 9/11 truthers love this guy.
(The Hill) — GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul said Wednesday that he fears the U.S. will invade Pakistan, pointing to the operation that killed Osama bin Laden.
Paul, a congressman from Texas and a critic of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, said
“I am absolutely afraid we will be in Pakistan trying to occupy that country,” Paul said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Paul has been a staunch critic of President Obama’s decision to send special forces into bin Laden’s Pakistani compound to capture or kill the al Qaeda leader responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The libertarian congressman said Wednesday that he does not have any solid evidence that the U.S. has plans to “invade” Pakistan, but that his observation is based on American foreign policy over the past two or three decades, and its “unintended consequences.”
Paul implied that the Obama administration’s apparent mistrust of Pakistan’s ability to fight terrorism could lead to a full-scale invasion.
Previously, Paul said that the killing of bin Laden should motivate the U.S. to bring home its troops from Afghanistan and later said that he would not have auhorized the mission to kill bin Laden, saying that it posed problems with international law.
