[George W. Bush]

His position that we are to blame for 9/11 and his hostility over Israel.

He does not blame us for 9/11. He does point out, correctly, that our presence on the Arabian peninsula and our ongoing attacks on Iraq in the Nineties were a tremendous recruiting tool for Osama. The 9/11 hijackers said these things as well. So does Paul Wolfowitz who commented on the need to get our troops off the Arabian peninsula as quickly as possible after we invaded Iraq so we wouldn't be recruiting even more terrorists for Osama. And that's exactly what we did. That's not saying we're to blame. That's telling people about the root causes that help Osama to recruit terrorists.

He's also been pointing the finger at the Saudis for their sponsored terrorism around the world. Long overdue.

As for Israel, Ron Paul feels all foreign aid should be cut off. The usual hysteria erupts because that happens to include aid for Israel as well as Egypt, the $15 billion for Africa (now increasing to $30 billion), the nonsense of deploying our troops around the world to vaccinate children and even livestock, well, it's endless.

Now you may like the global empire thing and welfare programs for the Third World. We don't.

I heard him say he blamed us for 9/11, he has implied it and there are groups who actively support him who believe it and that he is on their side.
I do not support anyone who does not support Israel - period.
