Rand Paul finds himself in agreement with this policy. He will not endorse American involvement in a foreign war unless the security of the US is clearly at risk.

And this shows only too painfully, why Rand Paul will never be ready for the POTUS seat.

There is no more clear example of a nation who clearly puts our security at risk, than Iran headed up by a radical Muslim who thinks he is the 12th Imam and wants to wipe Israel off the map as he has continually publically stated. Add to that that Iran is the foremost offender of providing state-sponsored Terrorism and the myopic vision of Rand Paul is on full display.

There was once a consensus in this country that Iran was a bizarre theocratic dictatorship who’s leaders were fond of making apocalyptic threats. What’s more an examination of their theology reveals that they indeed “embrace death” as others look to live. Clearly a dangerous bunch to have nuclear weapons. However elections matter. An ill informed, war weary American people reelected an incompetent man with a flawed world view as President. He has allowed the US and Israel to be relegated to an untenable strategic position. If Israel were to attack Iran, Chinese supplied mobile ballistic missiles positioned in Syria would result in a devastating Iranian counterattack. If America were to be involved in the shooting , shore to ship missiles lining the Persian Gulf would create a debacle for the US capital ships operating in those narrow, shallow waters. The time to act was three years ago.
