Did any of you watch any of the debate on FoxNews?
I don't remember what the exact questions was directed at Ron Paul.
However, Paul made a statement that the US deserved the attack on 9/11 because the US had Iraq on sanctions, their people were living in bad conditions and because the US attacked Iraq. He must have been referring to when Clinton was "wagging the dog." I don't think he meant the first Gulf War because that wasn't exactly an attack on Iraq, more of defending Saudia Arabia from Iraq's advances.
Paul's statement also implies that Saddam was part of 9/11. But since Paul was against the Iraq War, he couldn't have thought Saddam was part of 9/11. So Paul also contradicted himself last night.
Giuliani immediate refuted Paul's statement.
The following below wasn't considered by Paul:
During the Cold War, the US was part of a coalition that helped end communism in Afghanistan. The mujahideens liked this. Eventually, the Taliban emerged to take control of Afghanistan. So no, that intervention did not cause the Taliban to hate the US. Ron Paul doesn't realize this.
They hate Western culture. Osama Bin-Laden wants Shiara laws imposed. Ron Paul doesn't realize this. Ron Paul doesn't realize this.
Paul also seems to blame terrorists dislike of the US on US support of Israel. Of course, he sees the "road map" as support for Israel. To Paul, the only way to not support Israel is to advocate for its destruction.
