Part of the statement from Ron Paul to the House on 11/29/2001.
We have not done any better keeping our eye on the terrorist target on the home front than we have overseas. Not only has Congress come up short in picking the right target, it has directed all its energies in the wrong direction. The target of our efforts has sadly been the liberties all Americans enjoy. With all the new power we have given to the administration, none has truly improved the chances of catching the terrorists who were responsible for the 9-11 attacks. All Americans will soon feel the consequences of this new legislation.
Suppose, just suppose, that if Ron Paul had been President on 9/11/2001, we would have had a different approach. 15 of the 19 terrorists on those planes were Saudi and they're all dead. We have waged war against millions in the Middle East including Iraq and Afghanistan. That does not seem a rational response. Please read the entire speech here.
