He mentions the word "blowback" a lot; the first time I heard the word was while watching the documentary "Why We Fight." I may have posted this clip in the past, but it's worth seeing again. Here is Chalmers Johnson.

1. Yes, it's blowback and most Americans know this. Ron Paul is right about his statements, it's just to bad he would be a lame duck President. I can't believe that the die heart Rep's just don't get it. The Rep's are leaving us open for more attacks like 9/11.

2. Can you explain why you think Dr. Paul would be a lame duck president? I'm very curious to hear your argument on that and I don't mean that in a combative way. I just like to know how people arrive at their conclusions. Thanks.
In regards to the topic at hand, a very good interview with Robert Pape, author of The Logic of Suicide Terrorism, can be found here(it's short don't worry :) ):

In it he explains his massive research and what conclusions that evidence supports.

4. Bill O'Reilly is not only a jerk, he's a bully.

5. Bill is a bully, but that's sort of his job. I wouldn't say that Ron Paul got irate, he just had to talk over Bill to get a word in. Same way with Hannity.

6. i may not agree with every position ron paul takes,
but i have to give him credit for being informed on history and the state of affairs in the middle east.
i am also surprised billo didnt resort to his usual megalomaniac habits of shouting down someone he disagrees with,and shut off ron paul's mic.
that being said.
i find it a sad state that a popular media figure would regurgitate such rhetorical propaganda in a debate.
i know i know..
its bill o'reilly,
but it just saddens me.
here is a man who reaches millions,
and all he is doing here is spreading disinformation,
and promoting the neo-conservative agenda.
here's a little fact most in america have never heard about.
on sept 12th 2001,
there was a million person candle vigil for america and the loss of their loved ones.
anybody guess where this vigil happened?
tehran.
the capitol of iran.
till next time..peace.

12. So according to Bill O'Reilly, Iran has a policy of attacking Israel and US? Is Bill still using the 'wiping off Israel off the face of the earth/map' misquotation to justify his argument? And that guy is supposed be the main host of the 'fair and balanced' network? No wonder most of us in the US still believe that Ahmedinejad really said to wipe out Israel when our own networks are circulating such lies.
As for Iran's policy of attacking US? There is no such policy. Their policy is to assist their neighbouring country's resistance to an invasion, and unfortunately we are the invaders. When you're fighting off the foreign military in your own land, and that too a military that has invaded your nation, than I doubt that is considered terrorism. Terrorism demands that civilians are attacked deliberately and it is Al-Qaeda that is doing so, not Iran and its Iraqi allies i.e. Muqtada Al-Sadr. I don't see any moral difference between the actions of the Iranian Revolutionary Gaurds, the Iraqi insurgents, Al-Qaeda terrorists, or the US army in Iraq. They are all using force to gain their own interest, and it doesn't matter what those interests are, at least not to the victims.
And does Bill O'Reilly really believe Hezbollah started last years war? Let alone believe that the Israel/Hezbollah war started last year? It started way back in 1982 and last year's 'war' was a segment of it. I'll let you guys do your research and decide who 'started' the whole conflict in Lebanon.

14. pretty interesting when any... or should i say EVERY TIME Dr Paul responds, he responds is such a way that ORielly have to cut him off and talk over him. hmmm i wonder why... scared he may hear something?
VOTE RON PAUL... ORielly is just a loud mouth talk show host who can indeed dish it out, but will monopolize the conversation so anyone whos views are different then his are overshadowed by his big mouth.
