Rep. Ron Paul, a soon-to-be presidential candidate known for opposing U.S. military intervention overseas, said if he were president, he would not have duplicated President Obama's plan for taking out the man responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Paul plans to announce his candidacy Friday in New Hampshire, two sources told Fox News. Ahead of that announcement, he suggested in a radio interview Tuesday that the U.S. government could have worked with Pakistan to secure Usama bin Laden's capture instead of unilaterally entering the country and killing him -- despite concerns that the Pakistanis could have tipped him off.

"It was absolutely not necessary," Paul said of the May 1 CIA-led Navy SEALs raid.

The Texas congressman questioned whether Obama could have gotten away with the operation if Usama bin Laden had been in a country other than Pakistan.

"What if he had been in a hotel in London?" Paul said on Newsradio 1040 WHO. "So would we have sent the ... helicopters into London because they were afraid the information would get out? No, you don't want to do that."

Paul said the United States should have gone after bin Laden the same way it went after Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, architect of the Sept. 11 attacks, by working with the Pakistan government.

"They arrested him, actually, and turned him over to us," Paul said, suggesting the same formula should have applied to bin Laden.

Though Paul is credited by some with inspiring the Tea Party movement, one faction of that movement was not happy with the comment.

"If there is any doubt that Ron Paul should not even get near the Oval Office, even on a tour of the White House, he has just revealed it," Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips said on his website. "For a Congressman to say the raid to kill the man who is one of the greatest mass murderers of Americans in history was, 'not necessary,' is simply nuts."

Other potential GOP candidates have expressed support for the way Obama handled the bin Laden operation. Asked about Paul's comments, an aide to businessman and potential candidate Herman Cain reiterated that sentiment.

"Mr. Cain believes that bringing Usama bin Laden to justice was absolutely the right thing to do," spokeswoman Ellen Carmichael said.

Paul, who ran unsuccessfully for president in 2008, is expected to make his candidacy announcement Friday in New Hampshire, site of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary. He has already started a presidential exploratory committee, opened an office in Iowa and raised more than $1 million online last week on the day of the first Republican presidential debate, hosted by Fox News and the South Carolina Republican Party.

Pakistani officials, while saying the death of bin Laden is a positive development, have decried the U.S. raid as a violation of their sovereignty. Obama officials have staunchly defended the mission.

Paul has used the death of bin Laden to renew his push to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Paul also wants to drastically reduce the U.S. military presence around the world.

There are people, ladies and gentlemen, who you cannot vote for, because if you do, you're literally voting for your own death.  Then there are those who if you vote for them you're voting for $10 or even $20 gasoline.

Once in a great while - indeed for the first time in recent history - you get the opportunity to vote for someone who is so stupid, so inane, so full of their idealism and foolishness than should you support, donate to or cast a ballot for them, you are voting for both of those versions of Hell at the same time.

That would be Ron Paul.

I think the main points here, are that Ron Paul is so narrow-minded moron... he takes his 'libertarianism' to an extreme to think that  anything and everything that involves our 'meddling' in other countries affairs is wrong.... even if it involves killing someone who killed 3000 Americans. 

This is also why the Left loved him so much..... because he blames everything bad on the U.S. 'meddling' policy, and never seems to blame the Muslims terrorists.  He is also an open-border advocate.... he cared nothing about America.... he only cares about his narrow ideology which he thinks is an answer for everything.

It is a pity because he has great financial policies and being isolationist may be what America needs. His fixation with blaming America though is disgusting and makes him a non-starter. He is incapable of admitting that certain people like the muslims are simply hellbent on hating America regardless how much they get sucked up to.

What's funny is that why do a a lot of Minute Men groups like him?

Yes and no.  He's not an isolationist as it doesnt fit in with his kooky libertarianism, which is also why he supports open borders, but yes, some of his financial policies are in-line with what we need.  

But his obsession with the gold standard is kooky too, and it wouldn't work the way he thinks it would.  Yes we need to stop printing money, but there is a reason why every country has abandon the gold standard, there needs to be some flexibillity with money supply. All we need is a Fed Chair that will be serious about controlling inflation, and that will solve things.   If we go back to the gold standard, we will go back to recessions followed by depressions.

The other GOPers just need to focus on Paul's constant blaming of America and refusal to blame Muslims, and he will continue to be a non-factor in the primaries.

I am glad this has come out because I have been saying that Ron Paul has been nuts for years already.  He's a total loon and I would dread the day that he ever became President of the United States of America.  And so would Israel.

[ShoShanna]

Ron Paul should disconnect from the Tea Party. He just said today that he doesn't agree with the shooting of Bin Laden. He thinks the Navy Seals should have taken him in for questioning. Question what?#$%

[IsraelForever]

Maybe they could have gotten some valuable information from him, who knows?  I think they simply wanted to take the safe and easy road and just kill him fast.  At any rate, they'll get information from his papers and his thumb drive.  I heard on the news (honest!) that they found porn videos amongst his things.  I had a big laugh at that one.  He hates America, Americans and our way of life, the big hypocrite slime.
