Debate Highlights

Paul is plainly wrong here. 9-11 would have been prevented had we had the current Air Marshall system in place that day. The Air Marshall system works and I've had drinks with a couple of them after long flights. What you do not want are armed guards trained by Delta on flights. Delta doesn't understand security and can't be expected to learn it overnight. Worse then that who pays for all of that? Us, every time we buy an airline ticket.

No the Air Marshall system works, it's just a little too late.

And While I'm at it, Paul wants us to leave Iraq. Irans PM has already went on the record saying the moment we leave they will "fill the void", Iran is already the world's leader in state sponsored terrorism, and paul would give them twice the real estate to do it with.

Worse then that, after leaving Iraq to the Ietola (sorry speel check has nothing for me there), he wants to fire off the FBI and the CIA. How is all of this not a recipe for the second 911? Honestly, does he think they'll just leave us be?

If you remove their reasons for attacking us, they'll stop attacking us, plain and simple.

And i bet you can get them to sign a contract stating so huh?

Nope, I'm not the president, so I won't make promises I can't keep.

All I know is that countries who ARE NOT supporters of Israel and who DO NOT have bases in the Mid East but who DO hold democratic ideals and DO hold secular views DO NOT suffer Islamic terrorism.

Which countrys would those be?

Didn't the russians just kill a guy that was released from Gitmo. I believe it was a terror related incident. I guess russia's off the list.
In canada one or two years ago the busted a ring that was trying to commit terrorist acts. These guys were dumb as rocks, an informant was in on it from the beginning? Canada's off the list. France, you recall all those riots? There off the list. Brazil maybe Mark will chime in, He has some really good storys about what's up in his home land?

The riots were not terrorist actiivities and you know it. Those were the result of racial tensions.

But these countries DIDN'T suffer terrorist attacks, because the plots were weak and planned by amateurs with no backing from the major international players. You'll always have sympathizers, I was referencing legitimate plots (ie, NOT Fort Dix) with a realistic chance of success.

Actually there was a terrorist cell caught in Brazil attempting to set up an attack during the Pan american games. Since then a special police force was created by the president specially trained in counter-terrorism. I don't know if this was an isolated cell, or if it had any international connections, such information was not revealed.

So Brazil is off the list, boy Freeman ended up with no example, hmmm?

None fruition does not negate terrorism. It lies on the intent, not lack of completion.

Got a buck says Fred beats Ron in the end running?
