From the webmaster: The lame-stream Republicans can infiltrate the Tea Party Movement, but they cannot hijack Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty if members adhere to the words of Ron Paul. In all Ron Paul and C4L discussions, consult and cite Dr. Paul’s words frequently.
Ron Paul Quotes
Congress Should Move Cautiously On Resolution Regarding Iraq


  Congressional Record

5 February 1998



(Mr. PAUL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)

1998 Ron Paul 4:1
Mr. PAUL. Madam Speaker, in 1964, a resolution passed this Congress which urged the President to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression, the Gulf of Tonkin resolution.

1998 Ron Paul 4:2
Today there is a resolution floating around this Congress that urges the President to take all necessary and appropriate actions to respond to the threat posed by Iraq. We should remember history. We lost 50,000 men after we passed that last resolution. We do not have a sensible policy with Iraq. We should move cautiously.

1998 Ron Paul 4:3
Madam Speaker, I would also urge other Members to be cautious when they talk about a surgical strike and assassination. Assassination of foreign leaders is still illegal under our law.

1998 Ron Paul 4:4
I urge my fellow colleagues, please, be cautious, be careful, and be wise when it comes to giving this President the right to wage war. Ironically, this President did not respond in the same manner with the Gulf of Tonkin resolution.
