Ron Paul Is the Only Candidate That Said....

what needed to be said:

Plenty of reasonable people can disagree about foreign policy. What's really strange is when one reasonable position is completely and forcibly excluded from the public debate.

Such was the case after 9-11. Every close observer of the events of those days knows full well that these crimes were acts of revenge for US policy in the Muslim world. The CIA and the 911 Commission said as much, the terrorists themselves proclaimed it, and Osama underscored the point by naming three issues in particular: US troops in Saudi Arabia, US sanctions against Iraq, and US funding of Israeli expansionism.

So far as I know, Ron Paul is the only prominent public figure in the six years since who has given an honest telling of this truth. The explosive exchange occurred during the Republican Presidential debate in South Carolina.

This simple truth will not be spoken by any other candidate. Not because they are afraid of the American people but because they are afraid of AIPAC and powerful lobby groups and wealthy backers behind the Iraq war.

Ron Paul is safe, for now, because he is looked at as an eccentricity. But should he start to show some strength in the polls, his name will be dragged through the mud in an orchestrated media circus, where all mainstream media, whether Fox News or the ailing New York Times, will act in concert.
