His point was that military occupation of Saudi Arabia is why AQ declared war on the US. We had tens of thousands of troops in Saudi Arabia while we spent a decade bombing Iraq, a muslim country, and these attacks on muslims and occupation of muslim holy land was not without effect. Are you as ignorant of the 9/11 commission report as Rudy?
“Plans to attack the United States were developed with unwavering singlemindedness throughout the 1990s. Bin Ladin saw himself as called “to follow in the footsteps of the Messenger and to communicate his message to all nations,”5 and to serve as the rallying point and organizer of a new kind of war to destroy America and bring the world to Islam.”

Bringing the world to Islam — the U.S. is responsible for OBL’s desire to “follow in the footsteps of the messenger”, if not for the United States, then OBL would be living in peace and harmony in his native Saudia Arabia.
...or is it that you are as ignorant of the 9/11 commission report and America’s enemies as Ron Paul is?
