You sir are a liar. I challenge you to show where he said those words.

You sir are incorrect. Here is the quote from Ron Paul in the SC debate:

"Have you ever read the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there; we've been bombing Iraq for 10 years."

Here is the link to the entire transcript.

Republican Debate Transcript, South Carolina

Now, apologize to byteback for calling him a liar.

To: NewLand
bb's words were "RP said ... we deserved 9/11 so therefore isn't sane enough to be CINC"

what was really said was, as you pointed out, "They attack us because we've been over there; we've been bombing Iraq for 10 years

Your quote from RP is accurate; however, you will notice that RP didn't say we deserved it.

He said our actions were what motivated them or possibly provoked them (which is his opinion and may or may not be true), but he didn't say we deserved the attack. This is strictly one person's distortion of what was really said.

I stand by my assessment of bb as a liar or I guess a distorter if you want to split hairs and I sure as hell am not going to apologize to someone who misquotes something to exaggerate his attack on RP.
