Is he backed up by the 9/11 commission report? Is the 9/11 commission report not God's word for George supporters who believe that 9/11 was a terrorist attack perpetrated by 19 Saudi hijackers?

So I guess you are trying to tell me that in some respects at least, the 9/11 commission report is not 100% factual. If that is the case what else is incorrect about the report?

I am allergic to tinfoil vegs but you should really be careful of affiliating yourself with lying politicians who believe God talks to them as it has a strong possibilty of making you look just a little but kooky.

Wow.
The amount of ignorance on this board is truly staggering.
The US has been doing incredibly bad things to Middle East ever since oil was found there.
Please people, read some history books. The US has supported dictators, overthrown democracies, backed questionable regimes, and even sold chemical weapons to powers in the region. We helped put Saddam in power. We supported Al Qaeda AND it's suicide bomber techniques in Afghanistan during the soviet occupation.
Even now, we support the Saudi Royals, and turn a blind eye to transgression that happen there.
We've been manipulating that region for years, usually to the detriment of people living there.
The people in the region certainly do have reasons to be a little miffed at us.
The extremists, of course, also have their faith (or their religious leader's version of it) to foment additional hatred.
If you think for one moment that the US brings sugar and spice and everything nice to the shores it touches, you really really need to do some research into historical foriegn policy.
We've been the big man on campus since WWII and trust me, we've made sure the rest of the world knows it, especially if a part of the world has a critical resource.
Other countries do similar acts of self-interest to be sure, but that certainly doesn't make it right.

I don't think he is wholly blaming US foreign policy. I think the point he is trying to make is that if we are completely unaware of Al Qaeda's reasons for the 9/11 attack, justified or not, then it becomes more difficult to prevent future attacks.
You have to know your enemy, you have to talk to your enemy. We were always in communication with the Soviet Union, ESPECIALLY when Reagan was President. Had that not been the case, he would not have been able to cause the fall of the Soviet Union.
This go-it-alone cowboy diplomacy is STUPID, period.
Ron Paul makes a fair point when he questions America having bases all over the world. If we do not believe in big government here at home, then why would we want our government extended all over the world in different nations? If China and Iran had bases in Canada, Mexico and/or Cuba, American's wouldn't have a problem with that?

Ron Paul is absolutely correct. Violence is generally used for a reason -- either to gain resources, gain land or to fight back. To attack a country because they have "Freedoms" is a childish and illogical thing to believe.
In fact ,that would be suicidal, as anyone could predict that attacking the United States would result in a great military action. If the terrorists didn't want land or resources (and they don't), they are likely fighting back. Read the 9/11 report, read the words of the CIA reports on bin Laden or read bin Laden's public statements. He has been very clear about his objectives.

No, he is not. Islamo-fascists hate America and Western civilization because they believe that Sharia law should rule. In a land based on democracy and religious freedom, it's clear that there's no chance of this happening. The Koran states that it is ok to kill infidels, and that nonbelievers should either be converted, made subordinate to Muslims, or be killed. But PLEASE, don't believe me....look it up. It's there in black and white. That's the problem with folks these days, they believe everything they hear and don't find the truth for themselves. Read any book on Islam or the Koran for that matter and you will find that, while there may be some peaceful Muslims, Islam is in no way a peaceful religion.

Of course he is right. Only an retarded asshole thinks otherwise. It doesn't take a very high IQ to realize this either. A simple study of American foreign policy should be enough to awaken even the dumbest of the conservatives.

how anybody could say no is beyond my comprehension. It's like they want to be a slave to the government. Maybe they can be TOP SLAVE? SLAVE #1!
#1con - so, then, are you saying that the 9/11 commission report, the gospel according to the US government, is wrong?

Our foreign policy isn't to blame, it's the crazy radical muslim clerics that whip up and brainwash unintelligent, gullible and usually dirt poor muslim people to do heinous acts! Whom I'm sure lie about and use our foreign policy to anger muslims. Along with that, they hate our disregard for Allah and our freedoms for all people, women included, and our individual liberty way of life!

As long as we acknowledge any support for Israel, they will consider us to be Satan.

As was to be expected - more denial from the "We can do no wrong" squad.
