Nobody forced Paul to blame america in the debates. That was his fault, and his fault alone. He could have just as easily took a principled stand against the war without quoting OBL. Complaining that the mere presence of a foreign base was cause for retaliation.

He does not blame America. He blames a flawed foreign policy. He blames policy makers. Not America. Unless of course, you are one of those policy makers, then you are to blame, not as an American, but as a policy maker.

Obviously you were sucked in by the propagandists. What he offered was taken from the 911 commission reports and CIA reports. Whether or not you accept those reports is up to you. You may not like the messenger (RP), but his message comes from the govt reports.

If one is to argue that RP blames America for sharing in the debates what these reports offered, then one must also argue that the 911 Commission and CIA reports blamed America as well.

A flawed foreign policy is to blame. That is/was/always will be RP's point. Get informed, learn to read past the propaganda, and quit spreading propaganda.

Right! And let's remind everyone that some of those policy makers are not, in fact, Americans!
