‘President’ Ron Paul Would NOT Have Ordered Bin Laden’s Death

On Tuesday, Texas Congressman and GOP Presidential hopeful Ron Paul was on the radio with Simon Conway of Newsradio 1040 – WHO

The interview covered a broad spectrum of topics, but the most interesting moment came about when Conway pressed the Congressman on how he might have handled the Osama bin Laden situation.  Mr. Paul is quite clear on what he would have done.

During the President‘s appearance on ’60 Minutes’ this past Sunday, Mr Obama said the following about OBL’s execution;

‘And I think that anyone who would question that the perpetrator of mass murder on American soil didn’t deserve what he got needs to have their head examined.’

    . So many of you seem to make decisions based on emotion rather than logic. I promise you I was every bit as angry as anyone else on 9/11. (I’m sure Ron Paul was too). I also agree that Bin Laden was evil and the world is better off with him in Hell. The point is that Americans are exceptional and we should operate on a higher level. You don’t put principles aside when you are angry. President Ron Paul will be a very strong Commander-in-Chief and will protect our liberties because he understands them better than the run-of-the mill politicians you are putting ahead of him.

    its unbelievable they just killed him in some secret operation when they didnt have to, and should have brought him to America for Justice.

    The Left simply had no choice but to blame the military, because if they had captured him alive, the left would be unable to:

    1. Interrogate him with anything other than bowls of hot chicken soup

    2. Question him because its just not right to press non-white people about things

    3. Imprison Him, because international prisons holding terrorists are far greater evil than terrorists themselves

    4. Execute Him, because executions are evil, executing a non-white person is super evil, and executing a muslim is the most super-evil of all

    5. Try him in a court of law, because all they do in life is attack anyone who tries to bring justice to criminals, especially non-white ones

    6. offend him, because they are concerned with how people in Amsterdam and Paris will react

    they had no choice but to make sure he wasnt captured

      Killing OBL was not the military that is stationed in IRAQ and Afghanistan. It was a Spec OPS. So as far as managing the military that has worked out well for both Administrations. One country Iraq we had no business invading and Afghanistan where OBL has never been.Ron Paul would issue something he attempted to do immediately after 9-11: a letter of marque on the heads of terrorists abroad. This tool was created by the Founding Fathers to eliminate acts of terrorism that have no national face. Ron Paul would put up a $1 billion dollar bounty on Osama bin Laden and his operatives. With our nation’s popularity surging around the world, allies, private companies, and professional killers would hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden’s operatives and him like the dogs they are.

      This is just a sample of possible results when a man of integrity utilizes available resources .
      except I think Ron Paul knows we could have spent for less of a bounty .

      I think this is somewhat unfair to Ron Paul. Like Ron Paul I think it was very wrong to kill Bin Laden. The priority should have been to take him alive. It seems to have been to kill him. At the end Ron Paul clearly says just killing him like that “unarmed” was wrong and I agree. Every account I have seen is very murky at best about the “need” to kill him. Some accounts make it very much seem like a summary execution. But Ron Paul also says we should have informed Pakistan and gives a couple of examples of their cooperation without seeming to recognize they did not cooperate on many other occasions. He seems to dismiss out of hand that he was living very close to the most secure military base in Pakistan. Inconceivably that they did not suspect something was going on in this house and investigated it to know Bin Laden was there. He seems naive about foreign policy. Like his head is in the sand. An alternate reality bearing little similarity to the real world.

      War has existed throughout our history.

      George Washington did not go to trial in order to kill British soldiers. This is just plain stupid.

      War is mostly about killing civilians to such an extent that they force their overlords to end the war. War is all about killing civilians. We destroyed two Nazi Dams in WW2 it took them only four months to repair them. We won WW2 by firebombing into ash every major Nazi and Japanese city to ash and killing nearly the entire work force. This notion of innocent civilians is pure hogwash. We generally avoided churches and hospitals but other than that we bombed everything and civilians were generally the primary target. After all a Soldier is a civilian until drafted or they join. Even German and Japanese children built bombs and bullets that killed our soldiers they were hardly innocent.

    If some of you posters would use intelligence instead of emotion you would realize that Dr. Paul is right and our following the rule of law is part of what makes our country great. We all despise Bin Laden but you can’t kill a criminal during arrest just because his crime is particularly heinous. As a police officer I know that if I were to go and arrest a serial child molester/killer and he didn‘t resist I can’t just shoot him because I hate him. That’s operating on emotion. We are better than that. We also can’t say “well he might have had an explosive devise on him”. We meet the threat we are faced with, not what is possible. I’m not saying that the brave warriors who took Bin Laden out did anything wrong at all. I don’t know what the situation in that house was and with all the various stories circulating, who knows whats true? I personally am glad Bin Laden is gone and Ron Paul has said the same thing. I am addressing the vitriol directed at Dr. Paul for his support of the rule of law. If you posters are true Conservatives, a little research on his words and his voting record (and not what other people say about him) would convince you that no one else is more true to the Constitution. If you dismiss him without at least looking for yourself, you will probably end up supporting a candidate who is far less Conservative.

      Do you not see how these two ideas are completely contradictory.

      But the point is really Bin Laden had the full support of the Afghanistan Government. Thus we went to war with the country that attacked NYC and the Pentagon in VA. Afghanistan. Bil Laden fled to Pakistan we had every right to pursue him. He had admitted he did it after all.

    Ron Paul is the only politician who is 100% philosophically consistent when it comes to limited government, individual rights, and personal responsibility. I may not agree with 100% of Ron Paul’s views, but I do believe that he is the only candidate with the mental fortitude to solve our economic problems.

    What Ron Paul is “Quite Clear” on is that he would not have killed Bin Laden AS IT TOOK PLACE. Of course, you made sure to “fade out” as he was clarifying his position. Nice job!

    His point, which you gloss over, is that all attempts should have been made to bring him in alive to be tried… and he’s 100% correct. As he points out, we did it with other war criminals, why not Osama? People love to get all emotional over it but the bottom line is that you can’t act the part of the civilized, rule-of-law run nation on one hand and the revenge-seeking, bloodthirsty, emotion run the next.

    But hey, Fox has told you to crucify him, so you will. As least you are being fair and pointing out how Herman Cain was a chairman for the Federal Reserve, is against auditing them (even though they were found to have been giving billions to foreign banks,) and STILL backs the bank bail outs, right?

    I actually like Ron Paul. Agree with him on some things and don’t on others. But he has my utmost admiration because he has core beliefs, unlike John McCain, to give a specific example, who sold out his core beliefs to get reelected. I don’t agree with Blazers on much, but I agree that John McCain in the last election pandered to get votes and flip flopped on long held beliefs just to get elected. You say he was sucking up to conservatives, I say he abandoned his former beliefs. No matter, it’s pitiful no matter what. .

    Sorry, off topic. I disagree with Ron Paul. Bin Laden was one of the most evil people to ever visit the Earth, and gloated, not just over 9-11, but other terrorist attacks, including ones that killed many Muslims. It’s almost like saying Hitler should have gotten a “fair trial.” When a person is openly admits planning the death of people all over the world – sorry folks, just my opinion – if you find them, you kill them, same as you would anyone who is waging war against the world.

      Malachi, you are clearly another ideologue who ignores the facts. Why did Al Qaeda attack Spain? Bin Laden made it clear. Spain BELONGS to Islam because they conquered it and what is theirs STAYS theirs. That’s the way they think.

      No, we have intelligence which backs what RP has said, and he’s referred to it repeatedly.

      Also, think about this logically for a second (I know, just work with me.) You are Osama and already fighting a war(s) which you aren’t doing super hot in. Do you really piss off one of if not the biggest super power in the world ON TOP OF the battles you are already fighting “Just cuz?” It’s like if you were in the forest, fighting a badger and a wild pig and you decided “Hey, I’m going to punch that bear in the face to make this REALLY interesting!” Who does that (except for Chuck Norris?) Hell, Osama even said us attacking him HELPED his recruiting efforts!

      But no, they attacked us because we have Facebook and McDonald’s.

      Please quantify. Seems to me that it has been very effective to date, so how you can make that statement is beyond me. Between Ron Paul (whom I actually like, just not for POTUS) and his ham-fisted supporters, one could easily see why he could never win. His supporters are his own worst enemies. I‘m sure that wasn’t the plan, but it is what it is.

      The Ron Paul supporters fail to see the connection in his proposed policies and Obama’s. Obama said he would close Gitmo, it’s still up and running, Obama said he would pull the troops out of Iraq, they are still there. Obama wants amnesty for illegals and I’m pretty sure Ron Paul agrees with him. Ideology guides Ron Paul as much as it does Obama but once you get in the WH reality slaps you in the face so we don’t need another idealist as POTUS we need a realist. I don‘t even want to address Paul’s ideas on legalizing drugs to further try and control a compliant citizenry.

      I listened to Thaddeus McCotter’s speach to CPAC 2010 where he said that conservatives are philosophical rather than ideological. “We bend our minds to the world, not the world to our mind”. When I hear Ron Paul on foreign policy I get the strong impression that he is an ideologue who would be unfit to lead and protect the nation as Commander in Chief. Frankly, I think he honestly expresses here what Obama actually believes about getting the terrorists.

      The President did not order a “hit” – he ordered the raiding of a compound where Osama might be – if it was a hit, why were there 2 teams waiting – 1 to bury Osama if he was killed AND another with interrogators and others to take custody of Osama if he was taken alive. Also, we have gone thru Pakistan before and the people we wanted arrested or we wanted to arrest were warned before hand so that is why we could not work with Pakistan on this. And finally Paul and others running for President need to not comment on what they would have done as they do not have all the information of the total situation!

Do you know what TheBlaze and other anti-RP sites would do if he would have refused to answer, or would have said “I would need all the information before I give a well informed decision?“ The title of this story would be ”President Ron Paul wouldn’t know what to do if given the choice to capture or kill Osama!!”

      Obama didn’t know anything about it. He told Panetta to go ahead with a plan. But Panetta already had the plan. Valerie Jarrett was telling Obama what to say and do.

      Leon Panetta made the decision, and they had to go get Obama off the freaking golf course! Now, if he had known what was going on, do you think he’d have gone to play 18 holes of golf. Heck, NO!

      And, I am thinking that he was afraid to kill Osama (if he wasn’t already dead in 2007), or to take credit for it because that would have been a grave move against the Muslims, and he didn’t want a death penalty hanging over his own head for “renouncing” Muslims.

      Osama being dead isn’t a bad thing but Paul is bring consistent and actually adhering to law, the rule of law and PRINCIPLE of law…He isn’t promoting being blood thirsty, being hypocritical, or using this as some political gain…He is saying adhere to the laws we create…that is what America wants isn’t it?

      I have no doubt if the order was to bring Osama in alive, he would have been..The order was to kill….Or if we went to the Pakistanis while eyes were on the compound and teams on the ready and said your with us or your against us and this is what we are doing, they would have been right with us as before…

      We have been at war 10+ years and we are still at war…We are no safer then when we started, even with Osama dead, and really destroying ourselves financially as Osama intended…

      Osama being dead is a relief, one less evil, but in hindsight we must see if law was up held and if a better approach could have been used in accordance to law…Ron Paul gives the lawful way, like him or not…

      I like this, the blaze going crazy about non issues like Osama Bin Ladin. Or Usama, whatever.

      Let me ask these questions to the hardcore neocons on this site,
      If the dollar crashes, to worthless value, does the war on terror matter?
      Does entitlement programs matter?
      Does spreading democracy with our bombs and bullets matter?
      So does Osama really matter?

      Our dollar matters, our individual liberty matters, our freedom (which is slowly eroded by things like the patriot act) matter.

      I also find it funny all the jockos on this site, that get a hardon about a “military man”.

      I spent 5 years in the 82nd Airborne, 1-504th PIR, and spent 15 months in Iraq. Half of you can not say the same (although some can). So of course it is easy for you on the other side to spout “we need to keep this war on terror going!”

      For what end? When does it end? Shall we submit our freedoms forever for security? Get real people your all believing a lie perpetuated by people who want to continue holding power.

      The Neocons keep putting out this LIE that Ron Paul, the MAN WHO HAS BEEN REELECTED TO CONGRESS 11 TIMES has no chance of being elected.

      It’s a straight up lie. They aren’t basing this assertion on ANYTHING except their own prejudices. They can’t stand that Ron Paul will end their bloodthirsty wars and bring our troops home, and end the Federal Reserve that finances these wars-of-false-pretense WHILE WE ARE BROKE.

      What the hell, I‘ll NEVER vote for Allen West the torturer who likes to fire firearms near people’s heads while blindfolded.

      I’ll never vote for Progressive Palin who is a religious version of Barack Obama, a progressive who campaigned with Warmonger McCain even AFTER she lost her VP Bid with his decrepit cancerous carcass.

      I’ll NEVER vote for Former Federal Reserve Chairman Herman Cain, who said the Fed doesn’t need to be audited, and suggests we CALL AND ASK LYING BERNANKE what they do with our money.

      Ron Paul is the only one who stays true to his convictions, actually believes the words coming out of his own mouth, unlike the lying neocons and progressives who lie lie lie to get anywhere.

      I swear to God, you’ll get exactly what you deserve if you screw with us.

      4 more years of the Obamanation.

      I’ll make sure of it.

      I’m writing in Ron Paul. Neocon nomination be damned. Corrupt establishment republican warmongers be damned.

      As I recall, Ron Paul was for issuing Letters of Marque and Reprisal in regards to both Afghanistan and Iraq. Which would mean that he wouldn’t personally order an assassination, instead he’d send out professional killers to do the deed under color of law.

      Which if you think about it would have accomplished the exact same goal. But folks like to be against Paul because he’s “unelectable”, which is rather odd. Everybody is electable if you convince enough people to vote for him/her, and Paul is more in agreement with traditional American values than *anybody else* on the GOP radar.

      Okie from Muskogee: Most of on this site are just as deceived and thick skulled as the idiots on the left. They are not deserving of the Constitution which has granted us the freedom and liberty which we have enjoyed for some 200+ years. They are so irrational and reactionary that you’d stand a better chance in persuading your dog to not bark at a strange cat.

      I’m fully persuaded that they do not contain the mental skills necessary to see the obvious contradictions. What is so sad is the fact that if FOX News would make a suggestion concurring with the opinion of Ron Paul they’d all take it hook line and sinker! Good luck but you are wasting your time.

      Anyone on the Blaze up for some challenging thought provoking Constitutionally Conservative discourse turn into Mike Church on Sirius Right each morning at 6:00-9:00AM.. Excellent excellent show!

      @DUSTYLUV I‘ve disagreed with you on many occasions but I’m with you 100% on this one. Ron Paul would have done the LEGAL way of getting to Osama. It blows my mind that these small/limited government types get so excited when big government rears its ugly heads against their enemies but cringe if it’s done to them. You give them the power to break the law, it’ll be only a matter of time before they use it against YOU!

      @Sinista MACE,

      “I’m writing in Ron Paul. Neocon nomination be damned. Corrupt establishment republican warmongers be damned.”

      I’ll be writing in Ron Paul, also, as far as I can tell.

      Regarding Ron Paul and UBL, the Constitution gives Congress the power to grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal.

      US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8

      “The Congress shall have Power …
      “To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;”

      The idea is that since attacks from rogue groups from within another country does not constitute a war, a government military response is not commensurate with the crime; So instead, a government contracts a group of people to bring the specific people responsible for the attack to justice, and the group takes their own lives and resources into their own hand, with no government assistance.

      I only did some cursory research, but I think I got the jist. Anybody want to add to this?

      Wow….I thought there might be some people that have actually learned something about the Constitution, and the rule of law on this site.

      So what if China, swooped in with a bunch of choppers and whacked Donald Trump, just because they though he was a war criminal?

      What if ANY foreign nation’s troops SET FOOT on our sacred soil with hostile intentions?

      Do the words “Marque and Reprisal” mean anything to you GB worshiping lemmings?

      Nevermind that UBL was NEVER CHARGED with the crime of 9/11 according to the FBI. They ADMITTED that they didn’t have enough hard evidence to charge him. Just GO LOOK on their top 10 most wanted website and see if you see the charges against him!!

      Excuse ME??

      We invaded 2 different countries, with MILLIONS of casualties, and TRILLIONS of dollars, and the FBI admits they “HAVE NO HARD EVIDENCE”?

      It is amazing what the lemmings will gobble up as truth, and not “question boldly” like their dear leader tells them to. PATHETIC!!

      If people don’t wake up and realize that Ron Paul is the ONLY HONEST MAN up for election, then THIS country is screwed.

      Sinista MACE, you need help. but keep believing every silly conspiracy theory you hear, until your world is 100% pure paranoid fantasy.

      The GOP is in a sorry state, we got no one to run. And its not going to happen. While obama has been campaigning and raising money (remember, he had “leftover” cash from the last election), we are stuck looking around, waiting for a decent human to step up. Don’t hold your breath.

      Other than the slur about Ron Paul’s “crazy side”, I agree with you. Congressman Paul has been a consistent advocate for Constitutionality and an opponent of the Federal Reserve Bank, which most reasonable thinkers would agree has been the most monsterous ponzy scheme the world has every seen. He would be a great choice for Secretary of the Treasury. I’d support Allen West for the top executive job and Michelle Bachmann for VP. Mr. Law and Order, Joe Arpaio, ought to be Attorney General to clean up the illegal immigration irritation. The Supreme Court is in desperate need of a complete makeover. Where did the left half of that bunch come from? They’re completely out of touch with the rest of us.
