"Paul's message is that we are responsible for the attacks on our country because we don't belong in the middle east, we now have "blowback" because of our very presence... what would you call blowback? You can ask 1,000 people and 1,000 people will tell you that the message was plainly clear... hey listen, if it looks like a duck, and if it walks like a dick, and if it quacks like a duck, then it's a duck..."

Sorry, GZ...I have watched the tape five times, read the transcript and read the blogs....I agree with Buddy and many of the commentators. What Rudy said was not what Ron Paul said...Now, Rudy got the applause line, but Paul's comments are being, correctly, analyzed for their actual content, and people are responding to his points.

As they should.

There is 0 doubt that Paul is from the foreign policy school of thought that our being in the ME is the problem with the Muslim world. He and all the rest of them that think like that and much of the population today is missing the damn point. They are attacking us because we are godless infidel's who are spreading immorality around the world. The Koran tells them they must kill us, convert us or enslave us. They are only doing what they've been taught since birth to do. The sooner we look at this through the proper lens the sooner we can start talking about real solutions which sadly may require us killing an awful lot of people.
