Ron Paul on the next Golf of Tonkin Event

From todays Daily Reckoning..com

*** Our old friend Ron Paul is still trying to roll his rock up the hill.
A report from Paul Joseph Watson:

"Presidential candidate Ron Paul says the U.S. is in 'great danger' of a
staged terror attack or a Gulf of Tonkin style provocation while also
warning that a major collapse of the American economy is on the horizon
and could be precipitated by the bombing of Iran and the closure of the
Persian Gulf.

"Speaking to The Alex Jones Show, the Texas Congressman was asked his
opinion on Cindy Sheehan's recent comments that the U.S. is in danger of a
staged terror attack or a Gulf of Tonkin style provocation that will
validate the Neo-Con agenda...

"'I think we're in great danger of it,' responded the Congressman, 'We're
in danger in many ways, the attack on our civil liberties here at home,
the foreign policy that's in shambles and our obligations overseas and
commitment which endangers our troops and our national defense.' 'Every
day we're in worse shape and right now there's an orchestrated effort to
blame the Iranians for everything that's gone wrong in Iraq and we're
quite concerned that the attack will be on Iran and that will jeopardize
so many more of our troops, so I would say that we're in much greater
danger than we even were four or five years ago,' asserted Paul.

"The presidential candidate expressed his despair that the situation in
Iraq will not change until there is a total collapse of the American
economy.

"'There's no way we can afford what we're doing, whether it's domestic
spending or the international spending and very few people talk about the
real cost of this economically speaking...this is unsustainable and it
will be a threat to our dollar,' said Paul, adding that the onset of the
meltdown could be sparked by the bombing of Iran and the closure of the
Persian Gulf.

"The Congressman added that the collapse was in its early stages with the
major indication being a reduction in the living standard of middle class
Americans but that 'one single major world event' could change things
overnight and precipitate a major downturn.

"Paul said that national and world events, especially the degrading
situation in Iraq, were attracting support for his presidential campaign
due to his resolute position on embracing a non-interventionist foreign
policy.

"The Congressman concluded by surmising that record lows in approval
ratings for Bush, Cheney and Congress showed that, 'The American people
are alive and well and disgusted, yet they haven't had good
alternatives...it's justifiable, they are looking for true answers and
options and quite frankly I think that's probably one of the reasons why
our campaign is growing by leaps and bounds right now.'"
