It's inconsistent to say we're not going to be in the Middle East] for endless, senseless wars and then to send US troops to defend Saudi Arabia
One of the things that Bin Laden said motivated him to attack America — it's not a justification, obviously; it was terrible, and he got what he deserved — but one of the things he said that motivated him were US troops in what they considered to be Islamic holy land. And so I think having troops in Saudi Arabia becomes a magnet for all the crazy jihadists around the world to motivate them to attack again
