>>we would do well to remember that this is a man who believes the GOP created ISIS.<<
Did we not create one of the most cruel, sadistic men in Iraq...Saddam and his evil sons? Did we not create the Iranian revolution? Did we not arm Islamist factions in Libya that then turned weapons against us and kill our ambassador?
Rand Paul was speaking about middle east policy run amok, not so much as we created this evil plaguing the land. It is failed policies that give rise to psycho nuts with really really advanced weaponry.
Here is what Paul said...."ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately, and most of those arms were snatched up by ISIS. They created these people"
He did not say that ..."the GOP created ISIS".
He particularly calls out "hawks in our party who gave arms..."
To think that ISIS could have taken over as much territory as they have without any advanced weapons is very naive. Paul is objectively right.
