of course he wouldn't just come out and say "the government did it, vote for me 08!!" LOL..
He doesn't come out and say that because he doesn't believe the government did it. In his own words:
Which agency, which department, or which individual receives the most blame should not be the main purpose of the investigation.
The terrorists attacked the US because we've been over there bombing Iraq for a decade
And from his recent TV appearance, here is a partial transcript:
BECK: OK. Here`s what the people who are -- at least the ones that I have met and received tons of mail -- and I could read them to you if you want, sir, where they`re calling for my death -- they say that I am part of a 9/11 conspiracy. And I have watched the interviews with you.
You don`t leave any room for any doubt on a 9/11 conspiracy. But I`d just like to make it clear and ask you -- I don`t believe these need explanation unless I`ve read your answers wrong elsewhere. But may I just run through these 9/11 conspiracies?
No plane hit the Pentagon on September 11th. Instead, it was a missile fired by elements from inside the American state apparatus.
Yes or no?
PAUL: It`s preposterous.
BECK: OK.
The planes that hit the World Trade Center towers were remotely controlled?
PAUL: I mean, this is just bizarre.
BECK: OK.
PAUL: I`ve not even heard of these challenges before.
BECK: I understand. I don`t mean to -- sir, these are the people that -- these -- some of these people speak in your name and they actually say that you will be on this program tonight and you will answer the way you`re answering now because you can`t let on.
They believe that you are part of this -- of a -- of another kind of conspiracy to expose the conspiracy of 9/11 and the World Trade Center. Can you -- I mean, I don`t know how you -- I don`t know how you address people who are so deepy into conspiracy, but can you?
PAUL: I don`t know what I would be supposed to be doing. No. I don`t think there`s any evidence...
BECK: Is there -- is there any evidence or is there any doubt in your mind that the United States government was not involved in the September 11th attacks? That we did not bring down World Trade Center number seven?
PAUL: Well, yes, I absolutely believe that is true. They did not. But the connection may be and where some people get carried away, is if you dig through those $40 billion worth of intelligence-gathering apparatus that we had before 9/11, you know, we dig up information and there was some ineptness.
And sometimes when you find ineptness in government, it`s easy to make this giant leap over into conspiracy, and they do it on purpose. But, you know, we had an FBI agent on 70 different occasions reported that these individuals were flying airplanes and not learning how to land them. And he was totally ignored.
BECK: Right.
PAUL: I consider this ineptness on government, not a conspiracy that, oh, yes, we know about it, we can`t wait until the towers come down. No, I don`t believe that at all. I think -- I don`t even think I should have to answer questions like that.
I personally dont care wether he believes it was inside job or not, the fact that he's supporting the call for an independent investigation is plenty enough.. We (9/11 nutjobs) dont need more spokesmen.. just an admittance that we haven't been told the truth, which ron paul has said numerous times..
Lot's of people were in favor of an independent investigation.
