I don’t think it’s possible to say that Rand Paul supports jihadists when he’s here opposed to arming jihadists. He’s an isolationist. He doesn’t support arming anyone.
It is true that Obama has been sending arms to Syrian rebels in an effort to overthrow Assad. That’s a matter of just reading news reports and has nothing to do with Rand Paul.
Of course it does — that’s the very title of the topic. Paul is lying about this, just as he lies about lots of other things.
Obviously, if Zero had been arming the rebels in Syria, Assad would have been toast long ago. But Zero hasn’t been doing that. Instead, in the absence of any serious US assistance, the only game in town has been the usual muzzie sources.
There’s been a lot of humanitarian aid going to the Syrian refugees in Jordan and Turkey, and in Jordan some feeble attempts to recruit and train an opposition force.
All the manpads that supposedly flowed out of Libya into Syria? They’ve been mighty quiet as well. Why, it’s almost as if none of them have arrived yet.
