That was a powerful video. I never thought about the fact that veterans' opinions matter the most when talking about Iran.

liberals are part of the Leftist Machine: liberals, Democrats, RINOs (Neocons), progressives, and socialists.

The Leftist Machine has controlled CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN, Hollywood, and politics for decades.

IraqWarVet is right! Research, research, research. Ads, speeches, and biased news are not fact and not research.

People don't realize that this is a short video that explores American history in the Middle East from the perspective of a militarized foreign policy agenda

Paul's rejection of American militarism has made him enemy #1 with Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and the NationalReview.com.

The video was produced by Iraq War veterans.

"This is a beautifully done video outlining the different aspects of Ron Paul’s foreign policy that some Republicans have trouble comprehending," Jack Hunter, Paul's official campaign blogger wrote.

Ron Paul has received widespread support from members of the U.S. military and among veterans, and he has been very critical of warmongering U.S. politicians. In an interview with MSNBC, Paul criticized former House speaker Newt Gingrich for his lack of military service and his aggressive militaristic tone, as CBS News reported.

"He supports all of the wars in the Middle East, a thousand times more than I would, but you know in the 1960s when I was drafted in the military he got several deferments. He chose not to go. Now he will send our kids to war. But at that time he said that one person wouldn't make a difference. He didn't know how he could make a difference. So I see that as important information. People should know that. And it reflects on him," Paul told MSNBC.
