Ron Paul: U.S. Didn’t Really Want To Catch Bin Laden Because They Needed An Excuse To Invade The Middle East

“Ya know, they knew where Bin Laden was. I don’t think they really wanted to catch him because he was used as the excuse for us, you know, invading various countries and building up the military.”

Former Republican presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul says he doesn’t believe the United States government wanted to catch Osama Bin Laden because they needed him as an excuse to build up the military and invade Middle Eastern countries.

“Matter of fact, can’t you just see the difference that might have occurred. Ya know, they knew where Bin Laden was. I don’t think they really wanted to catch him because he was used as the excuse for us, you know, invading various countries and building up the military,” Paul said on Scott Horton’s radio program.

Paul was discussing his September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001 in the context of the debate over the Authorization for the Use of Military Force against Islamic State. Paul’s letter of marque and reprisal would have authorized a small private force to capture Osama Bin Laden for the United States.

“So if you had a private force that was going to be paid to go over and get him because they had pretty good knowledge of where he was and taking care of him early on, just think of the benefits that would have come from a very, very narrowed approach to you know, going after those people that were participating in 9/11.”

21 Reasons Cook-Out Is The Greatest Food Joint In The Whole Damn South

I’d like a spicy chicken sandwich with a double order of fries, please!

21. If you haven’t heard, Cook-Out is a delicacy that’s only served in select areas of the South.

It’s better than Five Guys, Checkers, Whataburger, and yes, In-N-Out!

20. The menu is full of delicious fried foods. Sometimes that food makes you want to weep, because there’s so many things to eat, and you want to try everything.

19. And don’t get me started on the milkshakes. They have more than 40 flavors, and they’re thick as hell.

18. Seriously, the shakes are so thick you’ll need a spoon to devour them. A straw just won’t do.

17. No, I’m not weeping, you’re weeping! *eats a spoonful of Oreo milkshake*

16. The fries are crispy and golden, ensuring that each bite is an enjoyable experience.

When I skipped class & went to CookOut 😂😂😂 S/O to CookOut tho 💯✊

— Real_Rovert33 (@DAVID RUFFIN‼️)

15. You can also get your fries topped with ooey gooey cheddar cheese and bacon.

I don’t know why but I never get tired of cookout lol 🙌

— _DailyRose (@Jasmine Rose)

14. And maybe you aren’t a cheese person. That’s OK, but don’t forget to douse your fries with yummy seasoning.

13. Oh, and the nuggets. They’re so flaky and juicy, just like a chicken nugget should be.

12. Seriously, once you bite into a morsel of Cook-Out food, you’ll want to proudly wear any clothing they make. It’s that good.

do you really love cookout if you don’t have a shirt? 😎

— choleworld_ (@choleworld ✨)

11. Cook-Out also has the best hot dogs you’ve ever tasted. They’re like plump sausages being carried safely in toasted buns. SO. GOOD.

Um, yes. I’ll take three of those, all the way!

10. Then there’s the hush puppies, which taste like they were made from the hands of Zeus himself.

9. If you can barely handle how beautiful these golden morsels look, you’d probably shout once you tasted them.

8. And because it’s located in the South, you know that the barbecue is poppin’. Don’t forget the coleslaw!

7. Once you taste barbecue from Cook-Out, you’ll automatically become grateful to the pig who died so your tastebuds could live.

6. And how could we forget about the burgers? Cooked to perfection, with the taste that they’ve just come off the grill. Are you drooling yet?

Headed to Chapel Hill to see #UNC smash tonight! But had to hit #Cookout first!

— TheHoldingTide (@Richard Orzechowski)

5. Just look at how thick that burger is. Aren’t you sad you’re not from the South? Otherwise, you’d know how enjoyable this is.

4. Another great thing about Cook-Out is that you can mix n’ match your tray with anything. Yeah, I’ll take tenders AND a burrito because I live life on the edge.

“@goldbrvcks: Cookout Tray or Iggy.RT if you had to look at Cookout Tray again. 😂 ” 😂😂😂😂😭 RT

— KENZOLANSKIE (@LifeOfKenz)

3. Sure, I’ll take a burger AND a chicken wrap.

S/O to YANAI FOR PERSUADING NICOLE TO GIVE ME THE COOKOUT SHE BOUGHT FOR SOMEONE ELSE LMAO LUV NAI LUV LIFE 💘💘💘💘

— _ramishaa (@Ramisha)

2. And then we have the golden onion rings, which were probably harvested by Demeter herself before they were dropped in hot cooking oil.

1. In all, listen to this guy: Eat Cook-Out because it’ll change your life. #RealTalk

@EatCookOut changed my life.

CNN reports:

“The people who collect tactical intelligence on the ground, day-to-day – and this isn’t Washington – but people collecting this stuff say they’re here, ISIS is here, they’re capable of striking,” said CNN national security analyst and former CIA operative Bob Baer. “They don’t know what their plans and intentions are. But it’s a definite concern,” said Baer.

Speaking of the Mexican border, Judicial Watch has been trying to draw attention to a federal bulletin warning of Islamic terrorist groups operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs.

White racialist Joan Walsh decries white ‘race hustlers’ like Limbaugh, Hannity

http://twitter.com/#!/jrsalzman/status/359702650272489474

Joan Walsh made a name for herself by asking “What’s the Matter with White People,” but it’s long past time she sat down and figured out what’s wrong with her. Salon.com’s editor-at-large penned a column this morning to call attention to the “conservative entertainment complex,” consisting of men like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, and Sean Hannity, whose mission is to gin up outrage against black America on behalf of white people.

http://twitter.com/#!/joanwalsh/status/359694843049553920

Do the race hustle!

An unusually crazed, agitated O’Reilly declared that the plight of black America “has nothing to do with slavery. It has everything to do with you Hollywood people and you derelict parents…Race hustlers and the grievance industry,” he went on, “have intimidated the so-called ‘conversation,’ turning any valid criticism of African-American culture into charges of racial bias,” leaving African-Americans to “fend for themselves in violent neighborhoods.” I can’t wait to hear the ignorant O’Reilly generalize more about “African American culture.”

Walsh also flipped her lid when Limbaugh had the nerve to suggest that President Obama, Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Rev. Al Sharpton prefer to govern through “grievance politics.” How dare Limbaugh call out non-white race baiters?! As we all know, race baiting is conservatives’ forté. At least according to Walsh:

This is the new right wing racket. Well, it’s not entirely new – race baiting is an old racket on the right – but the extent to which conservatives are now comfortable telling white people they’re the new victims, in danger of being unfairly prosecuted like George Zimmerman when they should actually be thanked for ending slavery, is unique and brazen and dangerous. We need more Republicans, as well as more media figures, to call it what it is: a race hustle.

Please. Race is only at the forefront of so many people’s minds because professional lefty grievance mongers like Jackson and Sharpton — and Walsh — insist on keeping it there.
