Paul: Congress supports bombing Iran
Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:04:01
Republican congressman Ron Paul
Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says members of Congress 
have voiced support for a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Iran.

"I hear members of Congress saying 'if we could only nuke them'," said the 
congressman Thursday.

"If we do (attack) it is going to be a disaster," he told the Alex Jones 
Show.

The 72-year-old veteran politician added that the atmosphere in Congress 
indicates that a military strike on Iran has already been condoned.

"It is still totally bewildering to me when I see men and women in the 
Congress that I know and like doing this just to get along. Most of them 
will say, 'I agree with you on all you say but the Iranians are bad people 
and they might attack us some day," Paul said.

Referring to House Congressional Resolution 362 he calls the 'Virtual Iran 
War Resolution', Paul explained the president plans to impose 'an absolute 
blockade of the entire country of Iran, and punish any country or any 
business group around the world if they trade with Iran'.

Despite the recent UN nuclear watchdog report conceding that there is no 
link between the use of nuclear material and the 'alleged studies' of 
weaponization in Iran's nuclear facilities, Washington accuses Tehran of 
pursuing a military nuclear program.
