Those Pauls are wacky couple of nuts.
Wacky is not the word for it- either incompetent or lying is more the case.
We are not seeing a civil war in Iraq, we are seeing an invasion of Iraq by a transnational Jihaidi army of psychopathic, homicidal misfits who have become Al- Qaeda irregulars recruited from all over the world.
Very few of the ISIS embers are from Iraq and those that are are the Saddam dead enders who were part of the terror insurgency and who we ran out of Iraq.
Shhhhh.... don't let it get out but that was the case in the previous "civil war" there as well. Foreign funded, foreign soldiers including some from the West.
We weren't fighting AGAINST Iraq after the fall of Saddam.
Why did we assist in the murder of a POW named Momar Gaddafi, again? What was the threat to US interests? And why was no one prosecuted for abusing and murdering a POW on camera in that case? "Don't Shoot! Don't Shoot!" - famous last words of Gaddafi.
