    Rand Paul On Obama’s Foreign Policy: ‘What Kind Of Idiot Sends Four People To War?’

    ALTOONA, Iowa – Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has consistently voiced his disapproval of President Barack Obama’s foreign policy decisions, but on Thursday his criticism went a step further, implying the president is an “idiot” for how he’s handled U.S. involvement in the Syrian conflict during an Iowa campaign stop.

    “What kind of idiot sends four people to war?” Paul asked the crowd, referring to the failed $500 million program to train Syrians to fight the Islamic State. The Obama administration abandoned the effort last month after announcing only a handful of the first 54 U.S.-trained moderate Syrian fighters remained in the fight against the terrorist group.

    “If you go to war, you don’t go with underwhelming force, you go to war with overwhelming force,” Paul said.

    Paul, a libertarian-leaning conservative, also criticized Obama for sending 50 U.S. Special Operations forces to Syria, emphasizing that the president should not deploy military force without congressional approval.

    “If you want to send troops over there, we don’t send 50,” Paul said. “We have a declaration of war and we vote on it in Congress.”
