At one point, one of Mr. Giuliani’s lesser-known opponents, Representative Ron Paul of Texas, gave what turned out to be a big platform to Mr. Giuliani when he appeared to suggest that the United States invited the attacks of Sept. 11 by having originally invaded Iraq.“May I comment on that?” Mr. Giuliani said, looking grim. “That’s really an extraordinary statement. That’s an extraordinary statement, as someone who lived through the attack of Sept. 11, that we invited the attack because we were attacking Iraq. I don’t think I’ve heard that before, and I’ve heard some pretty absurd explanations for Sept. 11.”
Mr. Giuliani was interrupted by cheers and applause. “And I would ask the congressman to withdraw that comment and tell us that he didn’t really mean that,” he said.
Ron Paul needs to get out of the presidential race -- and out of the US Congress. And not only that -- the GOP needs to put distance between ourselves and the Kucinich of the Right. I wonder how a resolution rebuking Ron Paul would go over at the next Executive Committee meeting.

Paul was talking about how foreign interventionism over half a century has helped foster anti-American sentiment in the middle east. It was the moderator who started with the "invited it" B.S.; Rudy echoed it, and with nostrils-flaring, successfully painted any analysis of our past foreign policy as "justifying 9/11." How sad for us.

Its not like Ron Paul said something that the government hasn't already published as a fact in its report.

Please learn middle eastern political history before espousing ignorant crap like the statement above. Bin Laden has espoused hatred for the west before we even entered Saudi Arabia or the middle east. His manifesto (constructed in the early 70's) wished to establish Islam throughout the earth and we were the strongest link against any religiouis and political capitulation. First read Bin Laden's political essays, only then can you write/speak with knowlege and coherence.

--Osama Bin Laden , February 14, 2003
Yet numerous public opinion polls in the Islamic world repeatedly prove the president wrong. The surveys show that people in Islamic countries admire American political and economic freedoms, culture, and technology. But when Muslims are polled on the level of their approval of U.S. foreign policy, the numbers go through the floor. Much of this negative attitude derives from mindless U.S. backing of anything Israel does. In addition, Osama bin Laden has repeatedly written or stated that he attacks the United States because of its military presence in the Persian Gulf and its support for Israel and corrupt regimes in the Arab world.

Ron Paul's statement is not coupled with a "Surrender At Any Cost", isolationist position.
After 9/11 Paul voted for military action against al-Qaida/Bin Laden and for the money to do so.
