Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said if he were president, he would have intervened in Syria much sooner than President Obama did to identify the “reasonable” rebels opposed to the regime of President Basher Assad.

“It behooved us to kind of identify whether there was any elements there within Syria fighting against Assad that we could work with—reasonable people that wouldn’t carry out human rights violations and could be part of building a new Syria.

It’s one thing to fall off the turnip truck in the first place, but did he have to do a head-first pirouette into a cement bridge abutment?

This guy has some serious dain bramage.

The more this idiot opens his mouth, the more his “conservative” veneer rubs off.

I always felt in my gut he’s a phony. Bottom line: always trust your gut.

Rubio, like Obama, is a puppet. His pronouncements are given to him to utter. When he grows up, he may have them delivered via teleprompter.

Two people are fighting. One side hates us but has done little to harm us recently.

The other said is our worst enemies in the world. They are the ones who killed 3000 innocent Americans.

So we aid the ones who really really do hate us and want to kill us.

Yep that Obama is a genius.

Rubio is starting to sound like a fool.

After Assad, they want to go after the US

That's what I was thinking. I keep waiting for a Martin Landau/Mission: Impossible type unmasking.

He's been sucking up to the neocons since Day 1. The Bushies still control the party. Probably wise strategy for him. He'll likely be on the GOP ticket in ‘16.

If you care about your freedom, you will have left the USSA by then ...
