Or are they surprised that Muslim jihadists are able to exploit US policies such as when Madeline Albright told 60 Minutes when asked about the death of half a million Iraqi children as a result of 10 years of sanctions, that it was "worth the price (Albright's own words)

Has it ever occurred to you Ron Paul supporters that your whole rational for your cut-and-run/blame America strategy depends on citing people like Osama bin Laden and Madeline Albright as if they are bot truthful and intelligent?

Here's a clue for you: All of those deaths, every single one of them, was caused by one man: Saddam Hussein. He took money from oil sales that were specifically allowed so he could purchase food and medicine, and he spent them on palaces and used the dead kids as a propaganda tool to rope people like you in.

These guys are not doing Americans any favors by trying to silence from public debate exactly what experts and US intelligence cite as the reasons for AQ's attacks

Another leftist talking point from the Ron Paul brigade. Nobody's trying to silence you, we're just telling you that you sound like idiots...useful idiots.

America's position in the world invites attack simply because of its presence.

B-17s, by their very presence over Western Europe, invited attack by the Luftwaffe. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't have been there.

It doesn't matter whether the statements are truthful...they are believed by a vast majority of Muslims and by the young Muslims that OBL is trying to recruit. When a US Secretary of State says that the death of half a million Iraqi children "was worth it"...that will bother some Muslims...it should also bother some Americans...or at least get them to think about what the beneits to the sanctions were and whether they were worth the cost...to the Iraqi people and to Americans (if we can assume that bin Laden was able to recruit jihadists by citing US policies in Iraq)...did imposing sanctions on Iraq and bombing Iraq for 10 years help you and I and other Americans in any way?

Nobody's trying to silence you, we're just telling you that you sound like idiots...useful idiots

The head of the Michigan Republican party is trying to have Ron Paul excluded from any other debates...essentially for saying what US intelligence has already said on numerous occasions about the reasons behind the attack

That quote came directly from a Department of Defense study of terorism in 1997...again, supporting exactly what Ron Paul said...should we now assume that the Pentagon authors of this report are "blame America first cut and runners"?

The other Republican candidates can continue to bury their heads in the sand and keep repeating what they think Americans want to believe...that evil Islamists want to kill Americans only because they hate freedom and because the US government is so good and benevolent...but they're not doing Americans any favors
