We got him, now let’s come home

Paul’s response Tuesday, during an interview with Fox Business network, reiterated his opinion held for many years that the US should not be involved in overseas wars, and questioned why the campaign to bring Bin Laden to justice for the September 11th terrorist attacks took ten years, 6000 casualties, and more than $1 trillion to complete, summarizing the costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, begun since the 9/11 attacks masterminded by Bin Laden. He did not credit the death to Obama nor Bush, and said that “”If we got him, I guess it’s time to come home as far as I’m concerned.” Paul, an avid advocate of the removal of US military from the Middle East conflicts, also commented that he would vote against any further foreign aid to the nation of Pakistan, much in line with his record against foreign assistance.The Texas Representative also stated that he was worried about the safety of the United States in the aftermath of Bin Laden’s death, and that the lack of evidence provided after the attack Sunday would inspire conspiracy theories. According to an AFP report provided by Yahoo News, Pakistani citizens were seen outside the gates of Bin Laden’s compound dressed as the terrorist and as Taliban leader Mullah Omar, cheering and shouting “Osama is alive!” mocking the US because they do not believe that Bin Laden was living and operating inside their city limits.
