Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said if he were president, he would have intervened in Syria much sooner than President Obama did to identify the “reasonable” rebels opposed to the regime of President Basher Assad.
“It behooved us to kind of identify whether there was any elements there within Syria fighting against Assad that we could work with—reasonable people that wouldn’t carry out human rights violations and could be part of building a new Syria. We failed to do that,” Rubio told Jonathan Karl on ABC News’ “This Week.” …
Obama announced this week that the Assad regime had crossed the “red line” and the U.S. now has conclusive evidence the country used chemical weapons. …

Not in Florida anyhow. Doesn’t matter anyway; precedent could never be broken even if he were representing a state that provided for it.
All the blunts the Barry smoked had mellowed him out.
Marco is shamelessly seeking attention by saying anything that comes into his head without any political calculation. Rather than be mellow and pompously senatorial, he comes across as punk on a sugar high who has never visited Disney World before and in this D C is his Disney World.
When it comes to political calculations this punk is clueless.
He just can’t stop digging...
It’s a race to the bottom. The three main competitors, Rubio, Christie, Jeb Bush. There are so many potential rinos in the 2016 field that they might crowd each other out.
Don’t let it stress you out, Rubio. You’re never going to be in charge.
Syria didn’t bother us in our Civil War. We should return the favor.
Rubio NEEDS to be primaried.
Man talk about self-destructing!
I like Sarah’s solution - let Allah sort it out. We can afford this crap - there is no good side.
There is no provision for recall of >any U.S. Senator, regardless of the state. The U.S. Constitution governs, not state law.

Really?
For where?]]
North Korea
The Rubio 2016 trial balloon is deflating quickly.
I hear Rubio’s parents fled Castro’s Cuba. Or didn’t want to return to it. Or didn’t want to return to it more than once. Or something.
This Rubio is worse than Hatch and is giving McPain competition for most useless senator.
Just another neo-Con wanting to send someone else’s son to die “for nothing”!
The man has completely caught Beltway fever. Not a conservative molecule left.
Wish Rubio was as much concerned for the American people as he is for Syrians.
Maybe now he’ll give amnesty to all the Syrians who want to come here. Oh! They’re not part of Rubio’s tribe, are they?
Has there been a “reasonable” rebel identified yet? Just wondering........
I shouldn’t really hate this man so much...but I can’t help it.
