Rand sounds more & more like his daddy....who is nuts.
Nuts? Maybe if Bush had carefully listened to Paul in ‘03, the entire disastrous experience in Iraq and the equally disastrous Obama administration would never had happened. The second was a consequence of the first.
“Rand sounds more & more like his daddy....who is nuts.”
Ding, Ding, Ding, We Have a Winner!!!
Yup.
Every time I see something like this.. “Rand sounds more & more like his daddy....”.
This is just so juvenile. This brings nothing to the table. He is not his dad. Like his dad, he speaks his mind, popular or not. He is anti-war, no one should be surprised at that.
I was supportive of the war at the time. Looking back, it was way too costly in blood and treasure. It cost too many arms and legs and lives. It didn’t have to. To this day we have not found an answer for IEDs.
The war in Iraq was a BIG MISTAKE because of how incompetently the land war was conducted.
Total number of U.S. troops killed in the Iraq War 4,487 U.S. troops
Total number of U.S. soldiers wounded in the Iraq War 32,223
Percent of U.S. soldiers wounded with serious brain or spinal injuries 20 %
Total percentage of U.S. soldiers who served in Iraq War who developed serious mental health problems within 4 months of returning home 30 %
Total amount of approved taxpayer spending on the Iraq War through 2011 $1 Trillion
Have I soured on the war in Iraq? Yes I have. It was not worth it. Let’s learn from this folly and not repeat it.
you say Rand is “nuts”
I’d say it was “nuts” to invade Iraq. Somebody has to be willfully blind, at this point, to say the invasion was jjustified, made sense, and did more good than harm.
True conservatism is about honesty and accountability, Dick Cheney got us into Iraq - it’s dishonest to say otherwise, and he should be held accountable for his policy decisions.
