Your comment got me curious, and a quick Google of Ron Paul 911 showed a lot of speculation. I didn't find anything that said Paul was a 911 truther. What Paul DID say was that the WTC attacks were a retaliation for our intervention in the ME. Here's a direct Ron Paul quote from 2004:
Unfortunately, the biggest failure of our government will be ignored. I'm sure the Commission will not connect our foreign policy of interventionism – practiced by both major parties for over a hundred years – as an important reason 9/11 occurred. Instead, the claims will stand that the motivation behind 9/11 was our freedom, prosperity, and way of life. If this error persists, all the tinkering and money to improve the intelligence agencies will bear little fruit. Over the years the entire psychology of national defense has been completely twisted. Very little attention had been directed toward protecting our national borders and providing homeland security.Whether people agree with Ron Paul on this or not, I couldn't find anything where Paul stated 911 was an inside job. If anyone else finds a direct quote from Paul, I'll do a mea culpa, but other people claiming Paul said it don't persuade me.
Our attention, all too often, was and still is directed outward toward distant lands. Now a significant number of our troops are engaged in Afghanistan and Iraq. We've kept troops in Korea for over 50 years, and thousands of troops remain in Europe and in over 130 other countries. This twisted philosophy of ignoring national borders while pursuing an empire created a situation where Seoul, Korea, was better protected than Washington, DC, on 9/11. These priorities must change, but I'm certain the 9/11 Commission will not address this issue.
Good for you!
Ron Paul is NOT a 9/11 Truther.
