To: plain talk

Fact: Saddam kept Jihadists out of Iraq.
Fact: Mubarak kept Jihadists under control in Egypt.
Fact: Gadhaffi kept Jihadists under control in Libaya.

Next stupid foreign policy thrust:
Get rid of Assad in Syria.

Rand Paul is right on this. These bad dictators were/are bad people but did not send suicide bombers to United States.

Rand Paul is an idiot that is building up a long list of things that he clearly doesn’t understand, and just creates nonsense on.

From Hillary to Reagan, to abortion and gay marriage, he just keeps blurting out things that are silly, or simply false, he seems to be floundering for some sort of identity, but the more he flounders, the more unhinged he appears.

He really is coming off as his dad, nutty.

You are correct on this.

Paul has been out in left field on so many things lately but he is correct on this one.

Also, Paul has lost me but one thing he is very good at is attacking his opponent. Most republicans want to be too nice and are afraid to attack Obama or Hillary. Rand does it with ease.

Nope. He was training and working with Sunni ones against Iran and the US.
Fact: Mubarak kept Jihadists under control in Egypt.
Yes. Self preservation.

Yes. Self Preservation.

Libya used communist terrorists. Much better. I opposed all of these wars, but Rand doesn't get the threat. Saying we messed things up and should leave ignores the actual threats.
