Crazy Wise...

Ron Paul wonders aloud during an appearance on Cavuto Wednesday on Fox Business:

PAUL: ... Why don't we ask, you know, about the al-Qaeda? Why are we on the side of the al-Qaeda right now? So I think the -- they want the weapons, the weapons -- rebels want the weapons, there's a bunch of people in al-Qaeda's part of it, and this is the task for us to drop a couple of bombs, and then send in weapons ...

CAVUTO: So, we're being sucked in -- you argue we're being sucked in, and it's dangerous?

PAUL: Big time.

CAVUTO: OK.

PAUL: And it's big risk. This can escalate, and Russia could, you know, what if there's an accident and a hundred Russians get killed by our bombs? Who knows? Some type of unintended consequences, wars always expand because of unintended consequences, they always provide short term war. Just think of all the promises over in Iraq. Short term, not much money.

CAVUTO: In and out, quick and dirty.

(CROSSTALK)

PAUL: Over, we'll get the oil.

(CROSSTALK)

PAUL: And don't believe it. We should look at what's best for America and not trying to pick sides in an impossible war like this, won't be on the side of the American people, and the American people right now, by a very large majority oppose this war. The Constitution can't support this war, and morally, we can't support this war, getting involved in a civil war and a strife that's been going on in that region for thousands of years.
