Ron Paul: Ghouliani not qualified to be President. issues "reading assignment" to the Prez of 9/11

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Longshot Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Thursday gave front-runner Rudy Giuliani a list of foreign-policy books to back up his contention that attacks by Islamic militants are fueled by the U.S. presence in the Middle East.

"I'm giving Mr. Giuliani a reading assignment," the nine-term Texas congressman said as he stood behind a stack of books that included the report by the commission that examined the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001...

"I don't think he's qualified to be president," Paul said of Giuliani. "If he was to read the book and report back to me and say, 'I've changed my mind,' I would reconsider."...

"I don't think I've ever heard that before, and I've heard some pretty absurd explanations for September 11th," Giuliani said to wild applause.

A spokeswoman for Giuliani derided Paul's latest comments.

"It is extraordinary and reckless to claim that the United States invited the attacks on September 11th," Maria Comella said in an e-mail.

1. Hey, Rudy -- let's talk about RADIOS!

2. What do we have to do to to get Ron Paul to switch parties?

He's more of a Democrat than a lot of the Democrats.

3. The Republic field is so poor, why should he?

Hagel must be having a cow.

4. Yeah, really.

Unfortunately he is a right-wing wacko on domestic issues, but it's great to hear somebody, anybody speak the truth without pandering.

I can almost see the anti-war sentiment becoming so strong among the voters that by election time we end up with people choosing between Paul & Kucinich.

5. The DLC would kill Dennis as they did Dean. There's something

really screwy here when the DLC, with their crappy track record, is calling the shots.

I have nothing against their candidates mostly but they have the political acumen of a blind parrot and about as much communication with the Democratic base.
