August 14, 2012 - - Rudy Giuliani couldn’t believe his ears. That scrawny old nut at the podium down the row had just said what? There was a reason America was attacked on 9/11? And it had to do with America’s own behaviour?
“That’s really an extraordinary statement,” Giuliani said, with some swagger.... 'That’s an extraordinary statement, as someone who lived through the attack of September 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 September eleventh.'
"The crowd was on Giuliani’s side, raucously, giving him cheers and whistles and resounding, rolling applause. 'And I would ask the congressman to withdraw that comment and tell us that he didn’t really mean that,' Giuliani continued....
"That wasn’t going to happen. The man, Ron Paul, from southeast Texas, then veteran of over nine terms in Congress looking too small for his suit, his ears almost laughably prominent, delivered his heresies neither hesitantly nor militantly, but with the authority of common sense. Paul knew what he meant, meant what he said, and given the chance, just explained himself further."
