Well, Well. "Rand Paul Blames GOP Hawks for Rise of ISIS"

[pampango]

Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul is blaming his own party for the rise of the Islamic State group.

The freshman senator from Kentucky, who supports a smaller U.S. footprint in the world, charged Wednesday that the GOP's foreign policy hawks "created these people." In return, potential GOP rival Bobby Jindal, the Louisiana governor, said Paul is unqualified to be president.

"ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately," Paul said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." He continued: "They created these people. ISIS is all over Libya because these same hawks in my party loved — they loved Hillary Clinton's war in Libya. They just wanted more of it."

"Everything that they have talked about in foreign policy, they have been wrong about for 20 years, and yet they have somehow the gall to keep saying and pointing fingers otherwise," Paul said.

1. Interesting

Sometimes he hits the nail on the head.....

[desmiller]

2. I think

that he's "flipping" now so he'll "flop" later. Don't forget that he's a master plagiarist. He's using progressive liberals' lines as a political tool.

3. I wonder if he'll sing that same tune on FOX n/t

[desmiller]

4. He's talking sharp now,

but will eventually go flat once he's within FOX territory.

5. " they loved Hillary Clinton's war in Libya"

6. You noticed that as well, huh?

Transparent play to go after people who aren't (IOW: don't want to be) affiliated with the GOP, but can't stand Clinton.

Does anyone know who is Rand's SuperPac backer?

8. not sure but i think he has some tech types behind him

mostly libertarian types .

7. Of course Rand also believes Benghazi was about Hillary running guns from Libya to Syria

just to give context to the whole giving arms and loving Hillary's war comments.
