Ron Paul Vindicated Again… This Time By Iraqi Officials

Two Iraqi officials from the Iraqi Parliament testified today to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Ron Paul asked a series of questions. The answers reveal that the majority of the Iraqi people support an American troop withdrawal with a timetable. Paul also questioned whether or not they object to a continuing U.S. presence in Iraq in the form of a Vatican sized embassy and military bases. Their answers show that they believe such a presence is not in the spirit of diplomacy. Yet again Ron Paul is vindicated on his campaign trail debate rhetoric.

Why isn’t this being plastered all over the main stream media news shows? Later in the testimony Rep. Flake asked if the increase in troops as part of the “surge” was responsible for the drop in violence. The answer from the Iraqi Parliament member was an emphatic ‘no’.
