Sputnik...Americans must speak out now before it's too late, Ron Paul warns, pointing to the fact that US neocons obsessed about their regime change idea have no scruples about risking the lives of US soldiers and even a major war in the region. Although Defense Secretary Ashton Carter admitted the complete failure of the US "train and equip" program for rebels in Syria, he is not going to give up, former US congressman Ron Paul remarks. "Instead of taking the appropriate lessons from that failure and getting out of the 'regime change' business, he announced the opposite. The US would not only escalate its 'train and equip' program by removing the requirement that fighters be vetted for extremist ideology, but according to the Secretary the US military would for the first time become directly and overtly involved in combat in Syria and Iraq," Dr. Paul emphasized in his article for the Institute of Peace and Prosperity.

"Direct action on the ground" means US boots on the ground, the former congressman stressed. President Obama ruled out such a possibility when he launched an anti-ISIL military campaign in Iraq and Syria last year, but it is likely the White House will break the promise now. "Did anyone think he would keep his word?" Dr. Paul asked rhetorically.

But the 2002 authorization was not about Islamic State, because there was no ISIL at that time; similarly, the 2001 authorization was aimed against al-Qaeda, which did not exist in Iraq or Syria at the time. Thus far, judicially speaking, neither of these claims makes any sense today, not to mention the fact that Obama's year-long bombing campaign in Syria is a violation of the country's sovereignty and is illegal according to international law, Ron Paul pointed out. Needless to say, Congress is not even consulted while the US President is preparing for another overseas military campaign. "I cannot condemn in strong enough terms this ill-advised US military escalation in the Middle East. Whoever concluded that it is a good idea to send US troops into an area already being bombed by Russian military forces should really be relieved of duty," Ron Paul underscored. Dr. Paul called attention to the fact that US interventionism has already resulted in the damage and devastation in Iraq, Syria and Libya. Now US neocons are determined to risk the lives of US troops and even risk a major war in the region, he warned. "This is not our war. It is time for the American people to rise up and demand that the Obama Administration bring our military home from this increasingly dangerous no-win confrontation. We must speak out now, before it is too late!" Dr. Paul concluded.

U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
The USA is the greatest danger to the extinction of homo sapiens the world has ever known or at least in the several million years when there were only a tribe on the brink of extinction. People in the USA are killers and our leaders are crazy enough to start a war with Russia and China that will quickly go nuclear.
"Leaders"have no choice: start a war to detract from Israel's atrocities and thievery in Palestine or no all-important Jew support at election time.
Happ, that is major -- even without attribution. It's only dawned on me in the last 10-15 years that contractor profits were one of the main purposes of war. If it goes back a century, that would alas tend to indicate it goes back way, WAY farther than that -- mebbe even to the beginning...... OK so it's Smedley again, good for him.
