1. ...the federal reserve, the existence of Federal agencies, gay rights, horseless carriages...

4. If gas goes up another buck or two, horse powered carriages

Will seem like an idea that needs to come full circle.

2. So he complains that there was widespread ineptitude,,,

but doesn't want to investigate it to see what exactly went wrong and who was responsible?
That seems like two conflicting attitudes.

Like he says, billions of dollars spent, intelligence indicating it was on its way, it shouldn't have happened.
Why did it?

3. He probably doesn't want to spend the money.

I haven't seen anything he does think is worth spending money on.

5. Actually listen to the video

Ron Paul is looking to place blame and wants to see heads roll. If you listen to what he's saying, it isn't so much that he doesn't accept the investigation, as that he doesn't feel it was complete or went far enough to actually place blame on people that didn't do their jobs. Like most bi-partisan investigations, it avoided placing any actual blame for the ineptitude and failures, because one side or the other would block it.

He also makes a compelling argument about the fact that bases in middle eastern countries, where they're not wanted, create terrorists. Not to make the point that we should have no bases in the middle east, IMHO, but to state that we, as a country, with the disastrous crusade-style foreign policy of the last 7 years, have to understand that we're part of the problem. Without that understanding, we can't move forward.

Just my 2 cents,

Peace!

6. He doesn't accept the RESULTS of the investigation. Your title is misleading. nt

7. lol. my bad. i'll really try to be more exact in my language the next time

i'm watching something interesting on the news, throw it on my computer, make it youtube accessible, upload it to youtube and then post it on the DU. that said, it seems to me that that ron paul doesn't accept the "results" of the investigation is implied by my title. i guess the question is what do you think my title means?
