Rand Paul is not blind to the reality of terrorism. However Republicans must do a careful reflective assessment on how best to deal with it. Clearly in retrospect our long involvements in Iraq and Afghanistan have been costly failures that have done almost nothing to enhance the long term security of the American people. Ron Paul to his credit courageously stood up and opposed our invasion of Iraq. Even more remarkable he spelled out in chapter and verse just what the eventual actual outcome would be. This intervention and the consequences Paul predicted and came to pass more than anything else made the disastrous election of Obama possible. Let’s admit mistakes were made and there are better ways to deal with terrorism and the chronic chaos and crisis in Islamic culture.

There are hundreds of thousands of dead Muslims who cannot kill again. And you say?

The only things we did wrong in Afghanistan and Iraq were a) not turning Afghanistan into a sheet of glass and, b) not turning Iraq into a sheet of glass.

Total war is the only answer. Otherwise, it ain’t worth the blood and treasure. The Stone Age ain’t good enough for them.

All the rino pubs are doing is encouraging the isolationism of. Mexicans, islam and intransigence of radical democrats.

This delusion is not going to end well.

This is like a jew being told he is isolationists with Nazis...
