Rep. Ron Paul Channels Osama Bin Laden (video)

 When Rep. Ron Paul is asked a foreign policy question in future debates, he should answer "no comment." Paul had virtually no chance to win the GOP 2012 nomination before tonight. Now he has none. The crowd roundly booed him.


“This whole idea that the whole Muslim world is responsible for this and they are attacking us because we are free and prosperous, that is just not true. Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda have been explicit … they have been explicit and they wrote and said that “we attacked America because you had bases on our holy land in Saudi Arabia, you do not give Palestinians fair treatment and you have been bombing (audience boos) … I didn’t say that. I’m trying to get you to understand what the motive was behind the bombing. At the same time we had been bombing and killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis for ten years. Would you be annoyed? If you’re not annoyed then there’s some problem.”
