Paul: Flawed U.S. policy contributed to 9/11

[iCryonikz]

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

It is really not complex or hard to understand.

Ignoring "our" mistakes is not good practice.

[6024691380]

Of course 9/11 was the fault of foreign policy. Clinton shot 70 missiles at Bin Laden in 1997. US soldiers were stationed near Mecca, the Islamic holy land. What if Saudi Arabian troops were stationed in Delaware? How would we react?

[GnomesAmok]

This is a great interview, really sums up why Ron Paul is a complete fucking moron.

[ARNTORXWINDIRX1184]

@GnomesAmok i think you just proved that YOU are a complete fucking moron because cant see that this interview was designed to make him look bad...youre also a moron because its clear that you easily fall in line with what the media wants you to know, typical idiot who buys the war propaganda...let me go set up a base in your front yard and see how you like it, shithead!

[GnomesAmok]

@ARNTORXWINDIRX1184

You're welcome to try, motherfucker!

[MrSalzerdaddy]

@GnomesAmok You are dumb ignorant fuck, who needs to crawl back under that fucking rock you came from.

[MaDmOnkyKungFu]

It was Bill Clinton bombing Bin Ladin in Afghanistan and the Sudan to get Monica off the lead stories..

[ADoseofReality1]

This is best CBS could do? What a joke of a network. RON PAUL!

[emantabrizi]

Hey Bob...STOP INTERRUPTING HIM!!!

[MrConnaman]

Shame on you CBS. Shieffer sounded like a true demagogue. He put words in Ron's mouth, and Ron had to correct him multiple times! Ron Paul still amazes me, he somehow always emerges from his interviews unscathed, regardless of whatever lowly tricks the media throws his way.

[801D012]

When I was in grade school we had to stand in front of the class to give our book reports. I hated reading and would seldom read the entire book. Consequently, I was never prepared and made a fool of myself in front of the class. It was painful to watch Bob Schieffer as he reminded me of myself.

[TheBigNext]

This is a stupid scenario to logically speculate, because its rooted in envy, not American policy with foreign government. "Flawed policies" didn't cause or provoke 9/11, and to speculate the motivations of a deceased mad man and his followers are distractions from real issues that demand action. This interview does nothing to calm the nerves of potential voters, those directly impacted by extremism, and Islamic Americans living in America. It's fodder that can further divide a divided country.

[TiniestViolin]

@TheBigNext

It's not really speculation when the deceased madman and his followers have gone on record multiple times explaining their motivations.

[MrJamenard]

Schiefer is a biased old fart

[zikalify]

I don't get why Ron Paul does interviews... They are all bad mouthing the things he says, and makes him look bad.

[Twostones00]

Ron did pretty good under questioning.

[mrchristian87]

CBS is chocking on the governments dick

[vincent741]

I like that he's being tough on Paul...the media should be being tough on politicians

[SilentmanX3]

it is the government's fault

[bigwurm69520]

i think bob hates RON PAUL!! NO MEDIA BIAS.

RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!

[therealmckoy5150]

i am to become an american citizen just to vote for this guy. he has balls.

[madmartian100]

yes, it was the Governments fault. CBS is a bunch of Fascist pricks.

[tcald52]

Bob Schieffer is an idiot.. Another liberal/Progressive thats helping to destroy our Republic...

[madmartian100]

Any one who has a Brain Knows we were attacked because of Our foreign policy. Bin Laden even said that was the reason He4 attacked us.

[Aphoresis]

@madmartian100

He said he attacked us because of a globally embraced United Nations approved action of which we were a part, and what accompanied it.

He also mentioned the corrupting influence of American culture.

Anyway, Paul is never going to get elected like this.

[therealmckoy5150]

Its pretty obvious that Schiefer wants to make Paul look bad and is very hostile to him.  I thiink u should Occupy the media my dear american friends.

[bossgen]

Bob Schieffer is rude. How dare he act like this to the next President of the United States.

[christopherleeism]

Mitt Romney is part of the government . He wants to bomb Iran this week.

[christopherleeism]

Bob scheifer is apparently more ignorant than I thought. He didn't act like that to Cain.

[davd1986]

Obama and people like Romney and Cain don't realize that the more the US involves itsef into other people's business in the middle east or n. africa, the more likely another terrorist attack will occur, anywhere. God forbid it happens, but I definitely agree with Ron Paul, and so should all Americans!!

[MrConnaman]

@BudWithBeats76 Why is this message marked as spam? CBS obviously cut Ron Paul short. In previous interviews Cain received around 20 minutes, and Ron got under 10. I've heard that he was even promised 20 from the start. I guess CBS had to do some damage control. Unbelievable!

[anarky102]

Yawn... The host uses kids gloves/easy to field questions with status quo candidates, but then gets aggressive when someone of substance that forces him to think and question his beliefs shows up.

[alad77]

Seriously, I can't stand CBS. After basically ignoring Ron Paul in their debate I was outraged. Again CBS with Bob Schieffer is trying to make Paul look stupid. It definitely backfired for Bob because HE looks like the stupid one.....I mean seriously he acts like what are you talking about this war with Iran? HELLO WAKE UP BOB! You actually have to stay awake during the debates you old fossil.

[yordanosi]

Bob Schieffer is a pro israeli douchbag

[o0TMO0o]

Americas Government Sucks In General .

[kurtisstephan]

This is an unbiased media interview?!? No wonder why many Americans aren't able to appreciate just how many valid points Ron has to make; the media clearly doesn't like his forward thinking. Ron's policies would make America a lot more respected on the world stage by advocating diplomacy and inclusion rather than alienation and agressive and costly forceful intervention.

[keyanmikejones]

wow, Bob Schieffer is a dick

[MojaveDan]

I used to believe that Bob Schieffer was among the last of the incorruptible news journalists coming from a Cronkite era. After this interview, Bob Schieffer is as much of an asshole as the rest of mainstream media news journalists.

[richradtylr4]

@MojaveDan i'm surprise as you are of Bob Schieffer. they are pissed that Ron Paul has made it this far. they have to give him the coverage now, since he is relevant, get ready for more mainstream media bias in the near future.lol

[kamfet]

Now this is a real gotcha question. An unnecessary and very irresponsible question

[mullinaxbridgett43]

This is My Man for President,and has been since 2008. What an Old Ass hole Bob Schrieffer is, he clearly doesn't like Ron Paul and he clearly Bias! Way to GO!!!!! Dr Ron Paul!!!!! Bring our Troops home let them start on or falling Infrastructure, but them on our Borders and stop WASTFULL spending in the Government! Sham on you Bob. RETIRE All ready!!! Please> "RON PAUL" 2012

[NoUploadsEver]

The main appeal of Ron Paul seems that he would change the status quo (the shit we're in).

I guess I'm willing to take the risk with choosing him.

[mullinaxbridgett43]

boy its obvious old bob doesnt like ron paul the media is supposed to be nuetral

[avariceichiban]

Just like Bill O'Reilly, the interviewer has a fundamental third grade level of ignorance concerning history and foreign policy. That is why it is called television, the drug of the nation.

[iBW92]

this interviewer is speaking about Ron Paul's ideas like there stupid, and not going to work.. Where as this is the most sense, ANY Candidate has ever.

Ron Paul 2012

[raykegley]

@iBW92 Ive allways said Our current Govts. Policies havent worked so why not try something new for a change and see if it will work.That is working in the confines of OUR Constition for a change

[Hobgoblit]

If you can't see the bias in this interview, you don't want to. Ron Paul is 100% right, any logical human being can see that. Imagine if China was doing to us what we do to the rest of the world. Bet your tone would change real quick like.

[TehAWAL]

finally cbs has talked about him PON PAUL 2012

[Brian567899]

It's about time a Ron Paul video comes to CBS

[george2648]

RON PAUL 2012 or another 4 years of lies and BS

[RayWilliamJohansen]

@george2648

ron paul for another 4 years of BS ?

[george2648]

@RayWilliamJohansen by that i mean vote RON PAUL in 2012 or we are fucked more lies and bullshit if he doesnt win.

[ESLJUNKIE]

@george2648 What has Ron Paul lied about? This is the most honest politician among the Republican candidates.

[Haxorxeverything]

He is right. If we werent over there, they wouldnt attack us over here.
