I’ll be more specific.
Skipping over his blame-America-first that borders on trutherism, I’ll present his most recent meanderings into madness....

Hubby and I were watching this debate and we both, literally, gasped when we heard him say this...
“But to declare war on 1.2 billion Muslims, and say all Muslims are the same — this is dangerous talk. Yeah, there are some radicals. But they don’t come here to kill us because we’re free and prosperous. Do they go to Switzerland and Sweden? I mean, that’s absurd. If you think that is the reason, we have no chance of winning this. They come here, and explicitly explain it to us, CIA has explained it to us — it said they come here and they want to do us harm because we’re bombing them....”
un-freaking-believable.
He was probably just quoting the 911 report. The 911 report pretty much says the same thing. And Bin Laden pretty much said that too.
We may have very good reasons for invading and bombing the people of the middle east. Of that I have no doubt, but when you invade and bomb it is not realistic to expect them not to try to harm you in return. If you want to go to war, fine, but don’t ask all surprised when the enemy fights back.
Ronald Reagan, a wise leader of men, declined engagement in the middle east even after the terrorist attack on the Marines in Lebanon. Sadly the Bushes have entrenched us in the endless wars of the middle east. The dogs of war are loose. Where will they run? What damage will they will do? No one knows.
