More inconvenient truths: this time from Ron Paul!

I would love to have Ralph Nader and Ron Paul as members of every possible committee (too bad Nader isn't in Congress) because, then from totally different ideological ends of the spectrum, both these old guys will keep needling the politicos with all kinds of inconvenient truths.  (Full disclosure: I voted for Nader in 2000 and 2008.  2004 is all foggy in my mind)

In the video blow (I can't recall how I ended up here) Paul points out the horrendous American foreign policy history

“A lot of people in this country have come to the conclusion that our policy overhaul has been inconsistent; that sometimes we support the bad guys and the bad guys become our enemies,” Paul told Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a hearing of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Rep. Paul pointed to America’s support for Osama bin Laden when he was fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, its collaboration with Saddam Hussein against Iran in the 1980s, and its propping up the Shah in Iran for decades before that.
“But we keep supporting Algeria, Morocco, Yemen, all these dictators, and yet we pretend that as soon as, well, it looks like the dictator might fall, we're all for democracy and we're for freedom and we're against these dictators,” he said.

 Watch it because the video is far more effective than the mere text, and listen to Clinton's response:



But, here is the question: what percentage of the American electorate will be able to understand what Paul talks about, versus the percentage as convinced with the Iraqi links to the 9/11 attacks?
