“Who cares, they do not represent GOP foreign policy.”
I only brought it up because you repeated Kristol’s silly statement that Rand is running to the left of Obama on National Security.
Wilsonian interventionism has never been a conservative principle. Bushes I and II brought this idea to the republican party and all we got out of it was Obama and the Arab spring. This experiment is over. Republicans will never win the presidency again with this platform.
“you repeated Kristol’s silly statement that Rand is running to the left of Obama on National Security.”
Silly must equal true in your world. And many people look at the facts and see that Rand Paul is to the left of Obama on National Security.

Neither has Lew Rockwell’s opinions lol, he of the “Wilsonian interventionism” mantra.
Bush I - kicked the Iraqis out of Kuwait.
Bush II - General War on Terrorism
Afghanistan: AQ housed and based, trained via Taliban
Iraq - Credible reports of WMD
(Please inform us if you agree or disagree with these actions and your rationale).
Granted that the policy transformed incorrectly in Iraq, from WMD security interests to the “nation building”, but the initial action was warranted by the intelligence given.
