Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul was hushed by deafening boos from a crowd of Tea Partiers at Monday's GOP Presidential debate, after suggesting America's foreign police played a role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Mr Paul attempted to position his argument to slash military spending, contending that occupation was the 'real motivation' behind acts of terrorism by Muslim extremists against the U.S.

And wasn’t it dem JOOOOOOOZ that provoked the poor put upon Muslims to inflict the horror of 9-11 on us?
Shalom, y’all!

No. Buchannen is almost as much of an idiot as you apparently are. What I'm saying is that we should sell Israel all the weapons it wants and get out of it's way while it kicks Muzzie ass.
But go ahead and keep your head up yours...
As for other Countries... Why are we there? How many bases do we need in Japan? How many in Australia? Brazil? Bosnia?
