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.

If Bush would have stuck to his guns this never would have happened. And if he would have gotten on TV after 911 and told the country that they should watch for democrat sabotaging the war and KEPT SAYING IT none of this would have happened.

We still needed to disrupt the terrorism there as it obviously DID come here. “There” being all the middle east.

I’m talking about Rand’s recent behavior....and the general behavior of his father, not about every position the old man took.

That doesn’t change the fact that Obama has done a HORRIBLE JOB with what he inherited. I blame Obama for that. Our future is less secure because of the horrible job Obama has done there.

Paul was wrong and is an idiot, it is why he could never win a state wide Texas election.

You're absolutely right. It seems like good, decent Freepers today can be divided into two groups on the subject of Iraq: those who think Rand Paul is nuts because they drank the Bush/Cheney Kool-Aid in 2003 on Iraq, and those of us who knew even back then that a U.S. military campaign in Iraq would end up as a complete disaster.

The 1994 version of Dick Cheney sure sounded a hell of a lot smarter than the 2003 and 2014 versions of Dick Cheney, didn't he?
