Presidential hopeful Ron Paul clobbers the Bush administration for using misleading intelligence to wage wars on harmless nations.
In a rare campaign appearance in Iowa, Congressman Ron Paul said going to war with Iraq was 'one of the worst things' the country has done under the rule of President George W. Bush.
"We were told it had something to do with 9/11. We were told the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction, that they were a threat to us, and that our national security was threatened. And none of these were true," the 10-term Texas Congressman continued.
The Republican also reminded the audience that while the White House has been favoring hostile action since World War II, America has not even managed to win a single war.
"Just to deliberately start a war, a pre-emptive war against a third-world country that poses no threat, that should be no part of the American system of government," Paul affirmed.
The 72-year-old candidate once again pledged not to lead the American nation into war if elected president.

" Paul emphasizes fundraising as sign of strength, longevity
The Des Moines Register
Tuesday December 18, 2007
Texas Congressman Ron Paul said Monday his fund-raising success ensures his candidacy will have staying power in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
"We certainly will be in good shape for Feb. 5," when a number of states hold their primaries, Paul said at a Des Moines news conference.
Paul touted the more than $6 million donated by his supporters on Sunday - a one-day record for a candidate in U.S. election history, according to his campaign. That brings his contribution total for the final three months of the year to $18 million. The total exceeds the campaign's $12 million goal for the quarter.
Paul said that he expects to do well in the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, which launch the nominating process, but that "I'm not making any predictions." He acknowledged that his challenge will be to turn his fundraising prowess into an effective get-out-the-vote effort.
Recent polls have shown Paul within striking distance of third place in Iowa.
Paul said he has tapped into the support of younger voters, people new to the political process and independents - groups that could help him do better than expected if he's able to mobilize them.
Paul's campaign reported that more than 58,000 people nationally - including nearly 25,000 first-time donors - contributed to his candidacy on Sunday.
Paul, who extols a libertarian message of limited government, said his opposition to the war in Iraq has been a catalyst for his support.
Asked whether he would run as an independent if he's not nominated by the Republican Party, Paul said, "I have no plans and no intention of doing it."
