Anyone who doesn’t recognize the we are at war with radical islamic fascist in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places known and unknown is a non starter in my opinion.

Dictators and mullahs in the middle east use proxies to attack the USA and western countries. Anyone who can’t understand that will never get my vote.

Just as al-Qaeda uses our presence on the holy land of Saudi Arabia to recruit Saudis and North Africans to travel via Damascus to kill our soldiers and slaughter the Iraqis.

Apparently, when the Muslims grovel five times a day to their black meteorite in Mecca, they don't like to think of our military in close proximity. Especially an American military with women not in burqas and with actual Jews in our military present on Saudi territory.

This is why we had to withdraw from our Saudi bases for months prior to the invasion. Our presence was helping terrorist recruiting.

And the Wahabbists of Saudi Arabia are not our friends. That is why 16 of 19 of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi, just as Osama is. And the Saudis are still funding terrorism.

Whether you accept Ron Paul's (and the CIA's and the 9/11 Study Group and the 9/11 Commision's) conclusions on these matters, you should at least consider the merits of the argument.

Foreign military presence in the Mideast helps the radical imams recruit followers and declare jihad. This has been a constant in any military presence in the Mideast (American, British, French, etc.). It is especially provocative for our troops to be near their shrines in any of the Arab countries but especially in Saudi Arabia, the homeland of their barbaric moon-god cult.
