2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRand Paul might have a hard time living this down.
Shows how incompetent and uninformed he is in on Foreign Affair matters.
Dems need to start filing away his idiotic statements...
People (uninformed) have perception that hes the cat meow when it comes to National Security..

(12,448 posts)Yeah, go ahead, Republicans. Nominate him. He is either dangerously ill-informed, completely stupid or just a liar. Most likely a combination of all three.

(429 posts)You would see that it actually reveals nothing, and it's just a collaborative effort of a bunch of bloodthirsty psychopaths trying desperately to discredit someone who is steering the direction of the GOP away from being the War Party.
You've got to realize how key plausible deniability is in our atrocious foreign policy and while Paul may often be clueless, at least he isn't engaging in deliberate deception to try to get us back into Iraq. Basically Paul is speaking in shades of gray, and these neocons are screaming "oh my god liar!! we can prove it's not entirely white!!"
The biggest clown in the article, if I had to pick one, is the Brookings guy who says something along the lines of "Paul says we're helping, and while we are aiding, the aid isn't doing anything so he's a liar!!!" Wow, this is what we call journalism nowadays?
If you have enough neocons agreeing with each other making it look like their bullshit is "consensus" that is how we got into Iraq in the first place. Why are posters from here actually HELPING them out?

(429 posts)I don't have any warm feelings for Randy, but why are we posting from neocon nutjob sites which offer literally no information?
Present in the circle jerk of this article are:
Free Beacon - Neocon
Foundation for the Defense of Democracies - Neocon
Hudson Institute - Neocon
Weekly Standard - Neocon
Brookings Institute - Neoliberal/Neocon
All I see in the whole article is a bunch of neocons (who desperately try to present themselves as authority) backing up their warmongering chickenhawk psychopath buddies with ad hominems directed at Rand. However these same people have repeatedly got EVERYTHING wrong time and time again.
