...in the Huffington Post. The interview is interesting in that it focuses on a somewhat different set of questions than he is typically asked by more "conservative" media outlets. For example:
Read the rest here.Kathleen Wells: You feel President Obama is a neo-con like Bush? You don't see a distinction between the two administrations? Congressman Ron Paul: The tone is different, but the policies don't change. We are spreading the war. The war is expanding. We are not prosecuting those that committed torture. Guantanamo is not going to be closed down. So, no, I don't see [a distinction between Bush and Obama]. He [Obama] increased the DOD [Department of Defense] budget. We surely could spend some of that money at home where people are really hurting. But we increased the DOD budget, I think, by 10-percent. I can't see any significant change in foreign policy. The pretense in leaving Iraq was a mild pretense and I'm predicting that's not going to happen. There are going to be troops in Iraq throughout this administration, I'm convinced.
