bump!
Often the best questions are put very easily.
Here is another: Why should the DOD be led by a man who THREW HIS MEDALS OVER THE WH FENCE...?
(indeed, it later turned out they were the medals of someone else...)
Rand Paul gives us such hope that not all is lost. We need to pray for him. Seriously pray for him.
Oh he’s good.
The correct answer to Paul's question is very simple: The bombing in Cambodia was conducted by a Republican president, therefore evil and wrong. The bombing in Libya was conducted by a Democrat president, therefore just and righteous.
Each and every day, I detest these people a little more...
Tomorrow Bill Press will claim the war on dessicated rich blue bloods continues with the abuse of John F’n Kerry at the hands of a gang of GOP thugs.
Full Title: Rand Paul to John Kerry: If it was wrong to bomb Cambodia without Congress’s approval, why is bombing Libya without approval okay?
Kerry-”Because.”
Rand Paul is a bright and articulate man. Elections however do have consequences. Obama and his ilk are now in firm control of the domestic and foreign policy of the United States. There were many questions that could be asked of the vapid left wing Kerry. But to paraphrase Clinton, What would be the point? Obama and his administration will implement their wrong headed policies. The best the Republicans can do is point out the absurdities and make sure the Democrats have ownership. Eventually the saga will turn. $16 trillion in Federal debt, $3 billion a day of continued deficit, trillions more in state and local debts,$100 trillion of unfunded entitlements, a debased currency and a bizarre anti capitalist EPA and Federal bureaucracy that curbs economic growth cannot end well. A foreign policy that will result in a new United Islamic Republic in North Africa, a nuclear armed Iran and chronic instability in Africa and Latin America. A Defense Dept. administered by politically correct career officers and wild eyed incompetent civilians will weaken the armed forces. The Republicans can do little to prevent these horrible policies and coming catastrophic events. However despite a hostile media, they must make it clear to what’s left of competent America that they have better ideas and disavow the liberal nonsense.
Trey Grayson (the establishment candidate for that Senate seat) would not be doing anything, about anything.
I don’t think bombing Cambodia was without congressional approval. As with most laws Congress left the Tonkin Gulf resolution intentionally vague. I blame them for not specifying whether the combat zone was bound by Vietnam’s borders.
Seems to me that happened in Pakistan as well.
