“REP. RON PAUL, R-TEXAS, GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: They attack us because we’ve been over there, we’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years. We’ve been in the Middle East. I think Reagan was right. We don’t understand the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics.”

They attacked us because we’ve been over there......you need more clarification than that?
Nope that's pretty much spot on what he said. And he was pretty much right. Course you'll be able to provide a reason different? Well other than they hate us for our ATMs RNC Rudybot speak
I take it you don't agree with Sun Tzu either that we should understand our enemy?
First of all, that is nothing like the fake quotation (still unverified) which I was responding to. Second, of course, Paul Wolfowitz, a God-like figure to many here, said essentially the same thing when he said that the presence of U.S. troops on the Saudi peninsula fueled recruitment for Al Qaeda. So....folks who want to bash Paul should at least have a single standard by also bashing Wolfy....but, of course, they won’t.
