Audio: U.S. in “great danger” of a staged terror attack or new Gulf of Tonkin, says Ron Paul
Hot Air ^ | 7/13/07

Posted on 07/13/2007 9:28:10 AM PDT by bnelson44

From the substance of the conversation to the venue in which it occurred, there are no surprises here. This isn’t the first time the Only Man Who Can Save America has floated the Gulf of Tonkin scenario; in fact, he’s done it on the floor of the House. And lord knows it isn’t the first time he’s dialed in to Alex Jones’s show to swap conspiracy theories. In fact, it seems to be a regular gig. So after all the argument about whether he himself is a Truther or just patronizes Truthers, we arrive at the, er, truth: he doesn’t think 9/11 was an inside job but he thinks the next one might be.

Gee and people wonder why Ron is considered a nut case.

Ron Paul warns of staged terror attack

http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0707/Ron_Paul_warns_of_staged_terror_attack.html

Republican presidential candidate, Rep. Ron Paul, said the country is in “great danger” of the U.S. government staging a terrorist attack or a Gulf of Tonkin style provocation, as the war in Iraq continues to deteriorate.

The Texas congressman offered no specifics nor mentioned President Bush by name, but he clearly insinuated that the administration would not be above staging an incident to revive flagging support.

“We’re in danger in many ways,” Paul said on the Alex Jones radio show. “The attack on our civil liberties here at home, the foreign policy that’s in shambles and our obligations overseas and commitment which endangers our troops and our national defense.”

Paul was asked to respond to comments by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan that the U.S. is in danger of a staged terror attack or a provocation of an enemy similar to the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 before the Vietnam War.

During the radio interview, Paul said the government was conducting “an orchestrated effort to blame the Iranians for everything that has gone wrong in Iraq.”

The comments come as several prominent terrorism experts have warned the U.S. is facing an increased risk of attack this summer. Earlier this week, in an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said he had a “gut feeling” the U.S. would be attacked again.

The remark angered some Democrats, who criticized Chertoff for being too vague. And some pundits seized on his remarks, saying the vague warnings were meant only to revive flagging support for the war in Iraq and Bush’s larger war against terrorism.

You’re saying the president will fake an attack to start a war with Iran.

No, I am not!! Good Heavens! I asked if you'd agree that the president is not above using political hackery to advance his agenda. Which should be all but a fact, unless you think his constant repetitions that illegals "do the jobs Americans won't do" or his support of Specter over Toomey due to some failed Rovian master plan don't constitute political hackery. How on Earth did you get "the president will fake an attack on Iran" out of that?

I wonder, if Ron Paul is elected president will you defend everything he does, because he's a president with an "R" after his name and therefore can't possible make a foreign policy error or engage in "political hackery"?

Furthermore, if this is how you interpret what I said it only lends credence to the idea that you also misinterpreted Paul's words because you hear everything through a filter in which criticism of a Republican president's foreign policy is vetted for "truther" or "cut-and-run liberal" leanings. You think Paul was suggesting that the president is going to fake an attack on Iran. I think he was suggesting that the president use actual, real-life terror attacks as an excuse to go to Iran, whether that would be actually beneficial to the security of the United States against terrorism or not. We can disagree with his views on that matter, let's get it straight what those views are.

Chertoff's "gut feeling" statement,

When I heard Chertoff make this statement, I about fell out of my chair...This guy is making an international public statement based on a 'gut feeling'???

Now we know we will have to be attacked or Chertoff's 'gut feelings' in the future will have no credibility...

Maybe this guy has a 'gut feeling' as to where in the U.S. these terrorists are hiding so his gut feeling attack can be prevented...

Nothing would surprise me as to what our gov't is capable of any more...

He is perhaps too young to remember the Maine but old enough to remember that the Suez War of 1964 began with a proxy invasion of Egypt by Israel to justify British and French peacekeepers securing the canal.

Suez War of 1964? I don’t recall that one.

We sure didn’t dismiss government conspiracy here as idiocy when Clinton was President.

Thats because Hillary was co-president, and we all knew what she was capable of.
We knew that all we had to do was keep bill suppiled with young interns and cocaine, and he was harmless.

Gen. Petraeus is supposed to be a Dutch “something.” His father escaped Europe during WW II. He was the captain of the merchant ship...to his credit, he didn’t change the family name (as far as we know)...Petraeus Jr. looks like Sen. Joe Lieberman’s son. The hook nose, the wide eyes, the gaping teeth....Ashkenazi Polish if you ask me...

Well, where’s are Rabbi’s?...apparently we don’t laugh at this stuff enough...we don’t find humor in it all?

Apparently, there’s abundant interest in Measheimer and Walt book that coincides with the September trial of the AIPAC whores...unless G-d is still able to push the court date back yet again. Will a carrier go down to placate Jews and a hog-tied congress?..Well, it’s very likely.

Only Ron Paul, sticking out his neck, could stop the ZOG killing machine for a few months. Then he died, politically or by sudden stroke.

There’s no escaping the next....

Absolutely...the people with access to foreign news knew the WMD schtick was totally fake. The foreign press was the first to talk about PNAC and the Clean Break strategy still in place today in Lebanon. Abrams is the only one left with direct whisper-in-the-ear access to the VP...

Do you have any idea how varied Ashkenazi Jews look or are you stuck masterbating to issues of Der Strumer?

I see that reading comprehension and logic are not your forte. (Must be the inbreeding of god Aryan stock). If you could read the communist agitprop clearly, you would see Israel blamed for acting/not acting and a claim of a giant lobby whose members don't agree with each other and don't share common goals. This is what is known as a null set.

Will a carrier go down to placate Jews and a hog-tied congress?..Well, it’s very likely.
You wish. You seem to love a nuclear Iran.

Only Ron Paul, sticking out his neck, could stop the ZOG killing machine for a few months. Then he died, politically or by sudden stroke.
No, he will retire and then somehow find his way onto the Saudi payroll denouncing Israel.

Sounds like Ron Paul was correct with the recent Iranian “Ahnold Voice” confrontation.

Gulf of Tonkin was a fabrication, but more importantly, it was a Democrat who initiated it in 1964. Hillary anyone?
