We’re in Iraq AGAIN...because that AH Obama pulled all our troops out. We CANNOT let ISIS and the Taliban and alqueda take over the world. We have to close doors.

There was never a good purpose to ground troops in Afghanistan.

No one has ever tamed it and no one ever will.

30 days of daily B-52 raids was all the effort it was worth.

Once again I find myself agreeing with Senator Paul. All too often, he appears to be the only person in Washington DC who ever bothered reading the Constitution.

When Rand Paul is good on the issues, he's very, very good. When he's wrong, he's awful.

President Trump described a strategy that sounds like what he did with ISIS in Syria and Iraq. It has their effectiveness really diminished and local governments regaining control. He is abandoning nation building and regime change. These are things the very, very good Rand Paul usually supports.

I'm so sick of almost everyone in the US Senate. Maybe it's something in the air or water in that building. They're all despotic want to bees who have this horrific self-important view of how the world should run.

Rand Paul has lost HIS purpose. IMHO.

I try to like Rand Paul, but he always take a completely contrary position to virtually every issue. Still, he’s better than his gadfly father.

The jingoists can spare me. We are going to protect a culture that keeps young boys in the barracks as sex slaves? WTF are we doing?

Eternal war is the goal. The military “experts” are pulling the wool over Trump. They have no intention of ending the only war they have.

OK, so when did conservatism become a haven for defeatists? The reason that we are in Afghanistan and fighting the Taliban is because when the Taliban were in power they were a center of feverish fundamentalist Islamist power and a haven and staging ground for our enemies. It's only been 16 years, right?

The facts are that we are a global superpower and are that to ensure our own survival as a free people. If we don't fight back, we will end up being under someone else's power. "Low Intensity Wars" are by definition very long term affairs, since the objective is protecting the folks that we're there to protect, rather than going all Hiroshima on them.

We have a lot of good, honorable and courageous young people out there carrying on the fight for us.

Let's at least pretend that we're supporting them instead of sitting on our rosy reds, carping.

Did Rand ask his BFF Kamala Harris what she thinks?

Afghanistan is rich in resources, into which China is exploiting, plus the rich narco-economy, and all the elite friends’ contracts supported by you and me.
