Rand Paul: 'We Need to Stay the Heck Out of Their Civil War'

Calling the president’s plan to confront ISIS “absurd,” Republican Sen. Rand Paul on Thursday blasted the proposal to arm and train Syrian rebels in the fight against the Islamic terror group.

“It's messy,” he said in a passionate 45-minute speech on the Senate floor. “It's unclear. There are bad people on both sides. We need to stay the heck out of their civil war.”

Paul also strongly objected to the idea that the Senate will not hold a separate vote on the authorization to arm the rebels. That measure has been combined with a larger short-term spending bill meant to prevent a government shutdown.

“Sending arms to so-called moderate rebels in Syria is a fool's errand and will only make ISIS stronger," said the Kentucky Republican. "America should only go to war to win. We shouldn't go to war sort-of-meandering our way through a spending bill."

What a good idea, Rand. Minding our own business. You're doing your Daddy proud.

This gov't makes me want to puke. Didn't they learn anything from the Iraq debacle???? I swear, when Reid is up for reelection, I'm devoting my life to ousting him! No doubt he's behind attaching this funding to an existing spending bill. I'm begging you Lord, please hold this man accountable for his misdeeds.

Here's a longer video than the one on the link in the op. Heh. It's pretty good. Junior actually reminds me a lot of papa Paul here.

YES! Huge profits and excellent campaign contributions!

YES! Huge profits and excellent campaign contributions!

Not to mention the fact that many Americans didn't protest - they just went along with the narrative, never asking questions, never seeking answers. Many were pretty happy, at least early on, to simply hang their flags and chant "USA!" in some moronic-sounding macho voice.

That war wore out its welcome, but they've learned that as long as you can successfully ignite emotions, you can do whatever you want!
