Rand Paul Defends President Obama From Dick Cheney
National Review ^ | 06/20/14 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 06/20/2014 12:02:44 PM PDT by nhwingut

Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) defended President Obama from former vice president Dick Cheney’s critiques of his policy in Iraq, saying that he faults Cheney and the rest of President George W. Bush’s team for launching an invasion of Iraq that ultimately strengthened Iran.

“What’s going on now, I don’t blame on President Obama,” Paul told NBC’s David Gregory. “But I do blame the Iraq War on the chaos that is in the Middle East. I also blame those who were for the Iraq war for emboldening Iran.”

Invasion of Iraq was all about the ‘Petrodollar’

Rand is off my list. I had better hopes for him.

Go Cruz!

I suppose Rand has a plan for his future. I can’t quite discern it. Getting headlines like this makes it a little touch to understand his political thought process.

oh sure it was

at best we only ever got 4% of our oil from Iraq and less after the war than before

I guess you should worry we’ll invade Canada on behalf of the mighty petrodollar

What a creep. Paul seems to forget that The Bamster was busy taking bows in late 2012 for leaving behind a stable, pacified Iraq after his withdrawal of American troops. Now that the Obama's chickens have come home to roost (to borrow a phrase at random), all of sudden, the mess there is a Bush-Cheney production.

And Rand Paul defends this fraudulent construction. Fie on him.

Something about fruit not falling far from the tree.

He is as dangerous and loony as his father.

Hate to say it, but I agree. We should never have become embroiled in Iraq.

Go in and kick the $4I7 out of them and get out. Nation building, meals on wheels...leave it to the blue helmets.

There will NEVER be peace in the middle east, that is until the day of the Lord.

Rand Paul is the (all) white Obama who will say anything to pander to what he thinks is the majority.

He is positioning himself to run, disastrously of course, as an ‘independent’-—pro-amnesty, pro-dope, pro-homo, anti-Israel, anti-defense-—or perhaps even more likely as a Democrat.

“The Republican Party left me,” he will say to the thrall of the lunatic left.
