Rand Paul of Kentucky, will be between him and people who “want to blow up the world.” The Thursday night showdown will pit him against opponents who will “send half a million of your sons and daughters back” to Iraq. He vowed that he will ask his Republican presidential rivals, face to face, whether they “want to always intervene in every civil war around the world.”
“I want to be known as the candidate who’s not eager for war, who thinks war’s the last resort,” Paul said on a weekend swing through Iowa. “When we fight, we fight to win, but much of our involvement has led to consequences that made us less safe. You’ll see that come into sharp distinction.”

Rand Paul’s Iowa message to the critics: Hey, lay off and wait for Thursday. “I’m one of the few Republicans who has a litany of people whose job is to be full-time critics of mine,” Paul said. “Nobody else seems to have as much sniping going on. But I think the debates will put things in sharp relief.”
