Rand Paul Attacks ‘Hillary’s War’
[su_publirb]
Rand Paul must think Hillary Clinton is the commander-in-chief.
Paul (R-Ky.) argued Sunday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s policies had created a terrorist utopia in Libya.
“Hillary Clinton’s war in Libya, I think, made it less safe,” Paul told host John Catsimatidis on his New York radio show “The Cats Roundtable.”
“It was a big mistake for us to go in there in the first place, because a lot of the times when we topple secular dictators, we’ve gotten chaos and then we’ve gotten the rise of radical Islam,” he said of Clinton’s decision in 2011 to help oust then-Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
“It made it a hotbed for jihadists,” Paul added. “And, in fact, I Libya is now a jihadist wonderland.”

Uh, Randy. You just attacked the whole neocon philosophy of invading Iraq. Sure hope you like being on the backbench of the Senate, because that’s where you’re staying. No presidency for you from the GOP, mate.

are you proud of your ignorant trolling?

Why is that trolling? Bill’s polling numbers went UP after the Lewinsky scandal! Have a laff sometime, it’s good for you 🙂

So is Iraq, Rand Paul, but you oh, so conveniently forgot to mention this because GWB created this problem, and we know you’re a chicken sh*t coward when it comes to calling out members of your own political party.

Cheesus Fluck Rand! We shouldn’t be invading ANY friggin’ countries! And I am pretty gawddam sure that the Secretary of State has NO authority to authorize troop movements, let alone military operations against foreign countries.
You know, a lot of men want to do better than their father did… Ron was a kook, and you are definitely kookier (and a MUCH worse liar.)

Republicans always support the dictators in foreign countries… wonder why that is?

Are you sure about that? Isn’t this a learning experience for both sides that the person who is in charge rightfully is keeping order in an insane country, normal tactics and military procedures won’t work.
OldLefty May 11th, 2015 at 5:53 am
Except that we would never know that.
We have always chose the side that was good for business in spite of the long term damage it did.
It is more likely that interference has replaced normal tactics, political/religious leader changes and military procedures and is what caused the ” insane country”.
When my husband was growing up in India in the 1950’s and 60’s, they were so jealous of the Pakistanis because they has all the best American stuff, while India was obeying Ghandi’s edict, “home spun cloth only”.
While India was shunned by the US as a Soviet satellite, American and Saudi money poured into Pakistan, supporting the theocratic despots.
Democracy blossomed in India while this distorted religious poison rotted Pakistan.
That is what Saadat Hasan Manto wrote in “Letters to Uncle Sam” in the 1950’s ;
“If this gang of mullahs is armed in the American style, the Soviet Union that hawks communism and socialism in our country will have to shut shop….”
That did not work out well for us.
We over threw democratically elected Mossadegh for Anglo Iranian Oil,
(NOW called BP).
On one listened to the warnings when we supported the Muslim Brotherhood because Nasser was a “socialist” who threatened to nationalize of the Suez Canal.
Not to mention supporting the Wahhabis in Saudi.
In the late 1980s, Pakistani President Benazir Bhutto, feeling the mujaheddin network has grown too strong, tells President George H. W. Bush, “You are creating a jihadi Frankenstein.” However, the warning goes unheeded.”
The Bush family propping up terrorism through business deals with the BCCI and Shafiq bin Ladin ,Salem bin Ladin, , James Bath
and Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz, Sami Al-Arian, Abdullah Shallah, and Hassan Turabi
Remember the Brits originally chose the Wahabs over the rational Ottomans for no reason other than cheaper access to to the Persian Gulf.
There seems to be a pattern of supporting radicals because they seem more friendly to business, then bemoaning their power, screaming “How did THIS happen? and How did these people get so radical??!!”

What was that about Mussolini and the trains running on time?
Republicans only support dictators, despots and fascists, all the while screaming FREEDUMB! to the top of their lungs.
Republicans have no use for freedom or democracy in this country or any other, they only believe in forcing their sick and twisted religion down the whole world’s throat.
Democrats are not perfect but at least they actually believe in freedom and democracy and don’t just use the words for propaganda the way republicans do.
That country belongs to its citizens, NOT to the USA and they can do whatever they want with it, it is none of our business.
Republicans cannot mind their own business, in ANY setting that is why they are such horrible politicians, they can’t dicern bounderies of what is their business and what they should stay the hell out of.

That’s not even what happened to begin with.
It was the NATO enforcement of a no fly zone, to prevent what most people on both sides of the aisle predicted was becoming another Rwanda.
Funny, but I suspect that a “President Rand Paul, or a President Dennis Kucinich would have done the same thing.”
