  • It's fairly easy to understand. islam is moving to dominate the world right? They push sharia law. We resist being overthrown by them. 911 was the catalyst in massive efforts to bring us down. A massive mosque to built uncomfortably close to to Ground Zero. If we do not step in to dissuade them then who will? If they get mad because we are hindering them then so be it. You don't think they'd reward us did you? Keeping them at bay is better than them gaining strength to wipe us out as they wish.

  • Blowback is a term used by the CIA but they did not confirm 911 was blowback. error on Southern Avenger there. Anyhow if blowback is the result of keeping heathens at bay then so be it. Rather have blowback than no-existence and I am not caving in to the politically correct imbecilic thought process.

  • @spawnsrevenge Please explain. Heathens at bay and blow back rather than no existence? Sounds like someone is missing the point of the blow back theory.

  • What is left out of the Iranian blowback was that our CIA's overthrow of Mosedegh was at the request of what we now call BP and the British government.

  • Maybe if we get rid of our freedoms they will go away.

  • "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

  • Simple Reality--

    If the Reason behind it was a hatred of Freedom, the attacks would have come Years before.

    Not at the point in US history when freedoms were more restricted than any time in its past.

    DEA, ATF, TSA, DHS... Every month the term "freedom" has to be redefined in the US because what Was freedom before becomes a "security risk" or "unhealthy" or whatever other excuse they come up with.

  • Let's hope there's some blowback in 2012 and Ron Paul becomes President!

  • Hunter, on point, as usual!

  • Someone please immediately email this to Rick Santorum. It's at least worth a try.

  • This video was awesome, thanks for posting it!

  • Very informative and concise video.

  • Brilliant absolutely brilliant Ron Paul 2012

  • 911 WAS CAUES BY OUR OWN C.I.A TO JUSTIFY THE WAR WHEN IS WE AMERCAN ARE GOING TON WAKE UP OUR WORSE PROBLEM IS THE PEOPLE THAT WE ELECT ARE CONTROL BY BIG WORLD MONEY

  • The day the U.S. leaves the Middle East = The day terrorism ends (period.)

  • "They hate us for our freedoms" makes zero sense.

  • Americans are so stupid. And now it's a teabagger mentality. I read "The Great Fear in Latin America," in 1969. That was the beginning of my understanding of American foreign policy. Then, I learned about capitalism while I was an activist in the antiwar movement at UT, Austin (1969-71). As Bill Maher said, the Democrats have moved to the right and the Republicans have moved into the insane asylum. Aloha from a 63 yr old democratic socialist on Kauai.

  • Excellent assessment and presentation of factual evidence supporting hypothesis.

  • And for most of you stupid Americans who are so ignorant of the crimes that your government has done to the rest of the world, I suggest that you look up this site in order to educate your minds: "WantToKnow.info" Thank God I live in Europe and not in fascist America. Your country is turning into a police state by your very government. Don't you remember what your founding father warned you about? Beware of governments especially yours! Wall Street has hijacked your government.

  • The video omits one very important fact: 9/11 was an inside job! Your government is run by a fascist oligarchy. Both Republicans and Democratsa are like mafia mobs: they don't give a dman about you which is why they are destroying your constitution and your civil rights and treating you Americans like terrorists. On 9/11 your damn government lied to responders saying that the air was safe to breathe! And now, responders who are still dying, have to prove that they are not terrorists!

  • sweet jesus! this guy gets it! why cant he be incharge of foreign policy! and of all americans its a southerner who finally has the tolerance and objectivity to set the country straight.

  • @spindoctor416 And exactly what is that supposed to mean? That, "of all Americans it's a Southerner who finally has the tolerance"?

  • They are now running the $ down and prices/taxes up it's imprisonment by any other name debt debt debt of labor simple as that!

  • Only in the sence that their handlers where within the US GOVERMENT who were inturn paid for by the banksters of the world.

  • Here's the kicker: Muslim Arabs had nothing to do with Operation Northwoods- I mean 9-11.

  • where do you get your information from so i can use it for my English essay

  • The Ayatolah of Rock'n'Rolla.

  • A very good video.

  • Dusting this one off for some use today. Good job Southern!

  • That about sums up one view, Don't forget Americans like to push the limit and see how far that we can get away with benifiting ourselves, China and Russia does the same thing and we are not the only country to try and benifit ourself.

  • KNOW YOUR ENEMY

  • We are shooting the wrong people, we are shooting afghani's while we should be shooting Neoconservatives and socialists here in the u.s.a.

  • Get fucking smashed Republicans

  • Wow. Impressive video. Plus you have put to rest many a southern stereotype.

  • no shit sherlock

  • I read "blowback" by charles ":

    Very good book.

    PICK IT UP!

  • where can i listen to his radio station?

  • The story is incomplete, and inaccurate! Smear and anti-war video,besides just look around the world, either you're basing your mini documentary from broadcast media, or print media. I came from country that has a Muslim extremist for decades, they want take party of the biggest Island as their country. Around the world, if you're not paying attention, why are they killing most or their Muslim brothers and sisters? Read and focus around the world, who are the killers?Ignorance might believe this

  • @Luzcvier I abhor Islam. It is not "peace." I despise its anti liberty, anti women, coercive doctrine. I loathe literal Jihad.

    But my attitude is: Hell no not in my country. Do what you will in yours. I do not believe in coercion. I do not believe we need to be over there on their land telling them how to live. We also have very dark and violent intent in their nation as well. We have committed crimes as well.

    In the War on Terror there are NO GOOD GUYS.

  • Makes you wonder how Giuliani ever rose to anything, let alone political power. I don't believe 9/11 was an inside job. Short of believing it was an inside job, if one doesn't think 9/11 was blowback to a great extent, then one is historically and politically oblivious. America has made things less democratic and more fundamentally extreme in almost every endeavor it has championed in the Middle East and Iraq is barely an exception if it is one. America doesn't even ride the fence in AMerica

  • Timely

  • The Southern Avenger rides again.

    Eloquent, Jack. I like it.

  • is so easy that it escapes trhe comprehension of the U.S public. keep it simple, fallow the money and you will get all the answers to all the world problems

  • Jack nails it again!

  • rawr

  • After listening to articulations from native Arabs such as Walid Shoebat Brigitte

    Gabriel Nonie Darwish Waffa Sultan

    and many others hearing their insights

    I realized a while ago that it's not blowback at all terrorist attacks are

    part of an agenda of globalizing Islam

    and killing everybody that they deem as

    infidels When Anwar Sadat signed a

    Peace Treaty with Israel he got assasinated was that out of anger

    for US policy He was considered a blockage that needed to be trailblazed

  • there may be some merit to what you argue, however, blowback IS largely the reason for acts of terrorism committed against the US.

  • What about Pinochet, Stroessner, the coup against Arendt in Guatemala, etc, etc, etc.CIA behind it. I agree to that the soviets are not kids, but need to learn from these mistakes. Get the troops out of Iraq. Get them out of Afganistan. Get Insurance for all americans.

  • It was a lot more than two. The Shah and Saddam Hussein were by no means the only ruthless dictators the US government installed and backed. There have been many others.

  • it's not just blowback, the government had a direct hand into 9/11 to complete thier agenda with iraq. now all of that is documented

  • YOu are forgetting that the USA supported Iran secretly during the Iraq-Iran's war in what was called "Iran-Gate" and not so secretly after Gulf War 1.

    9/11 was a joint Iranian-American operation executed by UBL and his Al-qaida, which had a strategic realtionship with Iran since the early nineties.

    The Goal for Iran is hegemony over the Arabs. The Goal for the USA is creating instability and wars between Shiite and Sunnis/ Arabs and Persians through empowering Iran.

    It worked.

  • @ahussami

    You are right!! Simply supply both gangs in one city. Let them kill each other. or countries.

    You got it man.

    But on th OBL thoughts.... I think you are wrong there.

    Why?

    OBL did not know about the NYC events of2001-9-11.

    In fact, go to the FBI web-site.

    OBL is NOT mentioned irt that day.

    Even Bush said when asked, though it may have been no more than a brain fart, OBL had nothing to do with 2001-9-11.

    9/11, as it is called, was a false flag event.

  • As a true American conservative, thank you once again for standing by true conservative principles, not the pseudo-conservative, Trotskyist-in-disguise bullshit of the neocon warmongers.

  • That was really enlightening.

  • Nice video however i was amazed that you did not mention a lick of our special relationship with Israel for some of the blowback that America is experiencing.

  • Whether you believe 9/11 was an inside job or whether it was blowback from invading foreign soils, either argument is much more sound than the Republicrat cliche of, "They hate us for our freedom." I won't say what position I'm with, but I will say that there are common sense arguments and factual evidence from the first two arguments. The Republicrat argument is pure, 100% fluff.

  • so lets see we helped liberate afghanistan from the ussr by helping Osama .. is that what blowback is?

  • We did not liberate afghanistan. We radicalized most of the group that is Al Queda. They were trained, funded by the CIA. This was used to create a Vietnam type war with ussr. This was done to show ussr as a aggressor with the current cold war going on. The blowback would be us using them, promising them things, and just dumping them when it was over, and what that in turn caused allot of hatred against the us, and got us to were we are now.

  • so by not "minding our own business we deserved to be attacked .

    why dont you use more contextual comments and turn them into more of an absurd lies

    what an asshole

    we as americans do not run our country on what is and is not popular in the word view that is why we are AMERICANS and worldians

  • We absolutely didn't "deserve" it. It is just important to recognize the impact of our policy, even though we never intend for it to have this kind of effect. If you want to intervene elsewhere, recognize that it comes at a price.

  • You know I'm pretty sure our involvment in their countries tip the radical Islamics over the top but I'm stil head strong it's the same reasons Muslims and Christians were fighting during the crusades.

    But I like the South Park explination.

  • I agree with you, but there's no way we'd all have ipods and iphones and big tv's if we didn't have this foreign policy.

  • Mossadeq was a communist. He came to power backed by the Iranian Tudeh party - a puppet of the Soviet Union. The British came to Iran, explored and developed the oil supply something the Iranians had no idea how to do. They had an contract worked out that provided oil to Britian, Iran and jobs for Iranians. Mossadeq tore it up and forcibly took over the oil fields stealing equipment and facilities from the British. He would have allied Iran with the USSR and sold the oil to them.

  • In the Cold War 1950s the loss of Iran and it's oil to the Soviet Union could have been disastarous. There was no other choice but to go in and re-instate the Shah who was a legitimate monarch and did have a lot of supporters. So we traded a communist puppet friendly to the USSR for a monarch friendly to the West. Of course this had to be done. Jimmy Carter screwed up by letting the Shah fall to an Islamic insurgency that didn't have anything to do with Mossadeq or communists or blowback.

  • Pt.1 What was the insurgency about, then? Could it be that the Shah was not popular with the vast majority of Iranians because he imprisoned as many as 2,200 political prisoners, gave women their suffrage (which angered the country's Shiite muslims who comprise 90% of the country), crushed political dissent with his intel agency SAVAK, and recognized Israel? You fall victim to the largest sin of foreign policy: assumption. Remember what they say about you when you (ass)(u)(me)? End pt.1

  • Pt2 Mossedeq MIGHT have given oil to the USSR only, but why would he when he could have made more money by selling to both superpowers? We could always have flown over there and talked to him, offered to trade a valuable American resource in exchange for his oil. A counter-coup that resulted in rabid Anti-American sentiment and a vast rising wave of Islamic fundamentalism is an indefensible decision to support. Even Madeleine Albright, a giddy interventionist at the best of times, said...end pt2

  • Pt3 "In 1953 the United States played a significant role in orchestrating the overthrow of Iran's popular Prime Minister, Mohammed Mossadegh. The Eisenhower Administration believed its actions were justified for strategic reasons; but the coup was clearly a setback for Iran's political development. And it is easy to see now why many Iranians continue to resent this intervention by America in their internal affairs." By the way, we still have not apologized.

  • I believe mossadegh offered a 40% discount on oil purchased but we still declined.

  • Thanks for the info.

  • southernavenger! You failed to mention the main blowback element which is the support for israel!? Why is that? Are you a zionist?

  • Great clip, mr Southern Avenger, but it would be nice if you took a breath between sentences, so I do woould not feel yelled to, as a listener. There's no one trying to interrupt you, during this clip, is there?

  • The only thing about this clip that disappoints me is the fact that SA did not speak with a lisp when quoting Giuliani.

  • If You were being hunt down by People whom wanted too stop You from speaking, even I (Black Man) would help You as much as I could.

  • "America has no allies or enemies. Only interests."

    -Henry Kissinger

  • What you say is absolutly true. This stuff has been going on for a while and one thing has lead to another and soon enough our country has suffered a terrible event that has changed us all. The thing I hate is that is seems like the US is trying to erase from history the alliances we had with Iraq and others. Also don't forget that our support of Afganistan during the Soviet invasion helped lead the Taliban to power. Its an unfortunate thing to happen.

    SC forever.

  • bravo! Finally someone willing to speak the truth ignoring ideological falacies

  • nice vid, ur exactly right.

  • I am from Spain, and I think more people in Europe should listen the commentaries of The Southern Avenger and the like. American conservatism is far more complex than we europeans tend to think, their opinions have shocked me very often.

  • Yes, it did. This may sound shocking, but the US government has done some things in the Middle East that might make some people there very angry and want to kill us.

    If they hated us for our freedom they'd be bombing Hollywood and Las Vegas or shopping malls or art museums, not targets that represent our political, military, and economic dominance.

  • Exactly! They chose the Pentagon and WTC for a reason.

  • No Zionist terrorism caused 9/11.

    Have a read of some of articles here

    erichufschmid. net/911

    erichufschmid. net/TFC/Bollyn

  • Let me enunciate it so :

    The Evil of right-wing fundamentalist

    zioncon police state is the blowback

    for he decades you (americans) didn´t

    notice who is making a fool of you,

    and how it is done.

    watch :

    /watch?v=RgcdRCWEt4Q

    to understand...

  • This video is spot on. When 911 happened I was not surprised. I was more surprised that it did not happen sooner.

  • I used to be one of those in your face pro-America flag wavers. That is, until I started investigating 9/11 to shut up the naysayers.

    After years of investigation, I am totally convinced that 9/11 was an inside job, and that it was perpetrated as a pretext to garner control, eliminate Constitutional governance, and bankrupt the middle class.

    So far the plan seems to be working without significant resistance.

  • 5 stars, we " THE PEOPLE " need to overthrow our own government to save our country. Before the whole world decides to shit on us. That is if the time hasn't already come.

  • youz nos all about blowing you sothern fag.

    get back in the toilet. for more man fun.

    come down to misisipi.i wipp you commie ass.

  • Clinton gets his dick sucked and gets impeached. Fucktard Bush pisses on the constitution, lies and starts a worthless war, destroys the economy, commits treason and a deafening yawn sounds. The problem is the entire government not just the executive branch. The government has devolved into a wicked, evil and corrupt organization. Obama and McCain? What's the difference?

  • very well said

  • I'll tell you the diffrence...for the first time you're gonna have the oppertunity to have a president of the harvard law review become the president of america. Inspirational figures such as Obama don't come around as often as many would hope. Regardless of if you like him or not you there is not a reasonable logical person out there that could say that he does not come off as an extremely sharp man. This is why he has this elitest image. The rest of the world loves him though.

  • So I should vote for him simply because he graduated from Harvard and the rest of the world simply loves him? Politicians like Obama come around every four years. I want something different.

  • Truth be spoken!

  • Thank you for creating this.

    Blowback is real, prevalent today more than ever. We need eyes on the rest of the world, to know what they perception of America is. IF there is intense widespread hate, it's our responsibility to know. It's the duty of our gov't and media to tell us. If they don't, we have to take it on ourselves.

    It's only our lives and our children's lives at risk. Start with the what, figure out the why, then waste no time in taking action.

  • Very well spoken. I think you said that better than Ron Paul himself. Now let's hope that people will begin to understand this correct logic. No matter what the outcome, we need to exit Iraq asap and all of the Middle East because in the long run it will be to our advantage and our security.

  • Lets stop fighting muslims and start fighting the real enemy.

  • @IKSDoomie Or, lets just stop fighting?

  • Thank You Thank You Thank You SA!! Why don't people wake up and see this situation for what it really is! Like you said, the excuse "They hate us because we are free and because of our woman" Rudy G. is the stupidest thing I ever heard. Ron Paul is still running for Pres. Vote for him in your Primary and watch for the convention in St. Paul! Delegates have to VOTE.

  • Filthy american parasites so selfish and stupid to blame the world for all the misery they cause. It would take 100,000 more 9/11s to avenge these people for the scars they have inflicted on this world.

  • Funny thing is that I feel the next 9/11 will be committed by an American so fed up with their government's actions, that they resort to such extreme desperation. A more violent version of Timothy McVeigh.

  • nicely done, very simple and precise.

  • RON PAUL!!!

  • You never stated what the false info was... please enlighten us.

  • Do you take comfort from believing the delusion you call reality?

  • It helps with specifics, you know! What lies? Be specific! If you were in my history class you would get an F right away.

  • It helps with specifics, you know! What lies? Be specific! If you were in my history class you would get an F right away.

  • I love you.

  • I'm not pro-Muslim but I am for self-education and the lessons of history and non-meddling. If you wanta fight--- go, fight the world. If you wanta pay for it-- go, pay whatever you want. Just don't ask me to. And don't tell me that my government has the right to make me even if you don't. That is what liberty is about. Novel idea, isn't it?

  • The Ottoman Muslims were at the Gates of Vienna about 500 years ago. Since European colonialism began in the 18th century and the US began doing the Europeans fighting and meddling for them in the last 100 years, there has not been a 5-year-period that Westerners have not been on Middle Eastern soil in occupation.

  • WOW! This is an excellent video.

  • Great video. Simple and to the point. It's scary that there r sooo many ignorant americans out there that have no concept of history, blow-back, revenge, or an eye for an eye.

  • "We don't need the history lesson..."

    --Bill O'Reilly, FoxNews Anchor 9/10/07

  • And I guess the Muslims conquered the West up to Poitiers and Vienna because of "blowback" ???

    Our actions surely infuriate many middle-easterners, but if even if we were docile and super-respectable like Israel, the Islamists would still make sure that random Muslims hate us by means of propaganda.

  • When you say "Saddam commited atrociteis against his own people with weapons we sold him" are you refering to chemecal weapons? Because we did not sell him those. As far as anyone knows they came from East Germany.

  • southernavenger

    good video!

    although, I knew that before it was over,

    you would sneak in some racist propaganda.

    Its good to know that even a hateful racist bigot such as yourself, is no longer buying- "they hate us for our freedom" ...well done.

  • Watch: The New Worl Order Is Here

  • great post thank you for putting it up

    iam i right in thinking on paul wants to scrap the CIA? whatever it would be a good idea

  • Did any of those dumbasses in the audience of the debate realize the irrationality and fallacious argumentation used by Guiliani, apparently not, I really fear for this country.

  • I thought what Giuliani said was absurd also. His comment was so condescending and superficial. And the way that audience responded with applause for him showed how many people out there are still stuck in that mind-frame of thinking.

  • Great vid man. It is very difficult for people to look at themselves or their own country to find flaws. All the bad things the US has done to other countries since post WII have only made a few people rich and powerful while damaging the overall credibility of the whole country.

  • The 911 Commission determined that 'blowback' was the cause.

    Vote Ron Paul.

  • Ahhh... the truth. So refreshing after so much media propaganda. Thank you. The equation is simple. We are not all good an neither are they. It is our responsibility to reconcile past mistakes, NOT BE UNITED IN WHAT IS WRONG. Again, thank you.

  • It's so sad that in the face of truth, there are still Americans who believes all the bullshit US Governemnt throws out.

  • well said , laws of universality applied yesterday and as they do today ...so please Live and Let Live

  • I have nice mortar accident vid...

  • oil people. This has all to do with oil. buy a hybrid or get a car that can run on E-85. The only thing those stupid towel heads have to offer the world is oil and once that is gone they will go back to living in the 8th century.

  • Either the US accepts its destiny & takes on an imperial mantle effectively, or it steps aside & lets someone else do it. Only realize this: there are consequences to letting some other head weigh heavy beneath the crown.

  • Freedom or empire? My choice is freedom.

  • are you a libritarian? I have a deep respect for this point of veiw. In fact I back Ron Paul on ALL of his Stances EXCEPT the war on terror.

  • That's exactly how Hitler saw it.

  • This is very well done. I also think that 9/11 was enabled by blowback in a different sense. After much study of the evidence I reached the firm suspicion that the inner circle of the CIA allowed the Al Qaeda plot to go forward because they were attempting to make heroes out of themselves with an ambitious sting operation, which blew back in their faces. Click on my name and see my video & text for more information.

  • Listen, I see what you are saying about what cause 911, and I can see we as a nation have mistakes in our past. Here is where we part ways. I was not alive in 1953 and had no part in the CIA's decision to support various ruthless dictators, but when somebody knocks on your door and calls you out, your going to go fight.

  • Iraq did neither.

  • But Al-quada is in Iraq. We didn't choose where to fight. We just go where the enemy is.

  • Uh, Al-quada wasn't in Iraq until long after we invaded. They followed us in, not vice versa.

  • Sir please understand that we went to Iraq not soly because of WMD's, but because the leader there at that time were supporting terrorist with money, weapons and lodging. Infact reports show that in the past 2 yrs that lower level al queda members have handled bombs and didn't even realize how deadly they were to themselves

  • As always, Well put together

  • At what point, though, will we factor in the Cold War into this reasoning behind blowback? That little historical tussle seems to have been quickly forgotten. On the flipside, what is the point of NATO now that the Cold War is over? What is the point of hegemony?

  • Since it seems that we have deemed it necessary to pursue this "global economy" irregardless of the fact that the vast majority of world governments are highly volatile or weak internally, does our way of life require a presence? Just a few thoughts. Another good one SA.

  • if osama hates us because we love freedom, why dosint he attack denmark? denmark has way more freedom then us....plus, hes pissed because we support isreal and exploit muslim countrys. the man openly admits it people!

  • I've read that the US also limited the number of US oil companies that could drill for oil in Iran to the largest, most powerful corporations, leaving about 50 out of the market. If true, that tells me that the US has been a great big government/corporate state since who knows when? Probably when corporations were allowed by the US Government in the 1800's, which brought about the big industrial revolution in this country.

  • One of your best, SA!

    Only, "we" didn't decide to do all this - the Feds did. The Federal Gov't is to blame. The sooner we get them out of our lives the better.

  • ulsterscot- ghoulianis qoute can certainly apply to your last comment. The fact remains that "The War on Terror" is breeding terrorist's - That is Blowback!

  • A very well put together video. Great job!

  • SA... you're a true American patriot and great example of how big Ron Paul's tent truly is.

    Who else could bring together rednecks and hippies?

  • It's crazy that even after that video, people are still questioning the micro level of the argument. Why is it so hard for people to understand the concept of BLOWBACK???!!! I used to be that way but because of research...I found out more about the war...and that's the only reason I stumbled on Ron Paul and became a supporter. RON PAUL backs everything he says with history and facts. RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT.

  • Russians/French have been involved in the ME just like the USA...so why did they not fly a plane into the eiffel tower or the kremlin? Make no mistake- they want an islamic world and america/uk are the most offensive to their world view

  • The Russians and French haven't been nearly as active in the region as the US and the UK.

  • I would say the majority of arms to the region came from the russians??People are in denial as the nature of the enemy the free world faces. People are at war b/c they see it as their religious duty...not b/c they are poor or oppressed

  • Man do you have a internet radio station? I'd like to hear that.

  • southernavenger,

    Great job! You forgot to mention that Reagan was also arming Iran's ayatollahs during the Iran-Iraq war (Iran-Contra scandal).

  • Well Said.

  • Saddam starved his own people to death by stealing the Oil for Food money to build palaces in every province in Iraq, among other things.

  • patsagainstrats,

    Okay so both the US and Saddam contributed to starvation of the Iraqi people and death of 500,000 kids. Why does it make you feel better to say, "Saddam's a child killer, too."?

  • The sanctions were approved by the UN.

  • patsagainstrats,

    Yes, for a time the UN was the US' bitch on this issue. Why does it make you feel proud of the US to say, "Saddam and the UN are child killers, too."?

  • If what you say is true, why didn't the UN give the US the go ahead to invade Iraq in '03. You can't have both ways.

  • patsagainstrats,

    It didn't. That's why Secretary of State Colin Powell insisted on going back to the UN, but Shrub refused since he knew that the authorization would not be granted. The UN would have demanded that the inspectors be given more time to find the nonexistent WMDs, as the 9/02, not "'03", resolution depended on WMD noncompliance.

  • So, you would have preferred more continued sanctions, even though children were starving because of them?

  • patsagainstrats,

    Careful, you're logical extrapolations are getting silly. I would have preferred containment that did not involve dead children. He was a rotten guy, but all suggestions that Saddam presented an imminent threat to the US - WMDs, Al Qaeda links, etc. - have been proven false.

  • Ron Paul suggested 9/11 was caused because al-Qaeda didn't like the US bombing Iraq during the 1990's, which is ludicrous. Bin Laden, himself, wanted to take up arms against Saddam when he invaded Kuwait. Of course, he would've gotten his ass kicked had the Saudis let him try it. So, instead, they just laughed in his fucking face and pissed him off.

  • amazing video lots of good points coverd, maybee a word about the fact the cia trained osama and his bitches.

  • dont be scared of the truth. VOTE RON PAUL !!

  • Explained very well. Nothing new to me, but I will distribute this video to explain to those still stuck in the matrix, maybe they will wake up?

  • Excellent video!

  • Nicely covered ! Good job!

  • Thank you for explaining that in 5 min---AMAZING! So True!

  • You left out the fact that the US created the Taliban and Al qeada to fight the Russians in Afghanistan.

    Also the latest claims that "OH the Iranians are supplying weapons to the iraq isurgence" Give me a break, how many people have we ARMED to kill others? They act like it's bad for someone else to arm the opposition but it's ok for us? Shhiiitttt
