"But Who Was Right – Rudy or Ron?" --by Patrick J. Buchanan

[tblue37]

Pat Buchanan is a bigot and wrong on almost everything, but he has always been against the Iraq invasion and Bush's radical power grabbing, and he has always made the case that Bush is no conservative. On these matters at least he has been right.

When Ron Paul said the 9/11 killers were "over here because we are over there," he was not excusing the mass murderers of 3,000 Americans. He was explaining the roots of hatred out of which the suicide-killers came.

Almost all agree that, horrible as 9/11 was, it was not anarchic terror. It was political terror, done with a political motive and a political objective. What does Rudy Giuliani think the political motive was for 9/11? Was it because we are good and they are evil? Is it because they hate our freedom? Is it that simple?

Ron Paul says Osama bin Laden is delighted we invaded Iraq. Does the man not have a point? The United States is now tied down in a bloody guerrilla war in the Middle East and increasingly hated in Arab and Islamic countries where we were once hugely admired as the first and greatest of the anti-colonial nations. Does anyone think that Osama is unhappy with what is happening to us in Iraq?

Ron Paul is no TV debater. But up on that stage in Columbia, he was speaking intolerable truths. Understandably, Republicans do not want him back, telling the country how the party blundered into this misbegotten war. By all means, throw out of the debate the only man who was right from the beginning on Iraq.

1. I can usually tolerate

him until he starts speaking on immigration or gays. Like many conservatives today he is at war with himself.

2. Paul will get no where telling the truth within the GOP....

and with the mediawhore's, he has no chance as they will villify him for taking such a controversial and truthful stand.
