Republican Kentucky senator and presidential candidate Rand Paul said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that ISIS “exists and grew stronger” because of hawks in the Republican Party. (VIDEO: Megyn Kelly And Rand Paul Get In Heated Debate Over Patriot Act)
HOST JOE SCARBOROUGH: Lindsey Graham would say, ISIS exists because of people like Rand Paul who said, ‘Let’s not go into Syria.” What do you say to Lindsey?
PAUL: I would say it’s exactly the opposite. ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave articles indiscriminately, and most of those arms were snatched up by ISIS. These hawks also wanted to bomb Assad, which would have made ISIS’s job even easier.
They created these people. ISIS is all over Libya because these same hawks in my party, they loved Hillary Clinton’s war in Libya. They just wanted more of it. But Libya is a failed state and it’s a disaster. Iraq really is a failed state or a vassal state now of Iran.
So everything that they have talked about in foreign policy, they’ve been wrong about for 20 years. And yet they have somehow the gall to keep saying and pointing fingers otherwise.
Like his father. Kook.
Would SOMEBODY PLEASE BUST THIS FUZZY HEADED COWARD RIGHT ACCROSS THE MOUTH!
sniff sniff...
I smell.... WACKY WEED
I smell desperation.
are the results mutually exclusive?
Could he be .like Obie... stoned and desperate?
He doesn’t blame Islamists; he blames his own political party. He’s little different than Obama who thought he could charm our enemies. Our enemies mean what they say and prove it by their actions. Don’t listen to him unless you’re as naïve as Obamrobots.
.
Rand, baby, you have jumped off a big cliff!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-Thump!
Housekeeping, cleanup at cliff 1.
.
How does ‘the doctor’ think he’ll benefit from trashing his own team in enemy territory? I thought he was smarter than that. Or maybe, Rand is about to leave this party completely, and is feathering his future beds of logic.
Who’s paying this guy, the Clinton Foundation?
Says some things that make sense but then just goes on a parrots some BS liberal talking point. So useless.
I gotta give credit where it is due. The candidate from EITHER party who can expose the idiocy of the big-government globalists in Washington would be a very strong candidate in 2016.
I didn’t know Obama/Hillary were ‘the hawks in my party’. You really opened up my eyes. Thanks, Sen. Paul. For my edumucation.
Hawks have not helped, but they were not in power at the time ISIS began really rising and spreading. It is the fault of the Obama Administration.
On another note and not meaning to be mean, shouldn’t someone suggest that he comb his hair for interviews?
Blame or misplace blame wherever you want CONgre$$man. Offer solutions to FUBAR AFP?
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
I noticed the hair too. I do not favor making fun of a person’s appearance. But when your hair is distracting it might be smart to get a hair stylist. That’s something a person can fix.
Chip .. Block .. Yada.. Yada..
Vindictive, self-serving jerk.
Whatever technical merit exists in his point, the entirety of his message will be promoted as “Bush’s Fault.”
