So lets see. Rand Paul is for amnesty, and does’t want to blame Obama for totally pissing away what was accomplished in Iraq. Paul instead blames Dick Cheney. Rand Paul is becoming more and more like his daddy. His chances for 2016 with Republicans are pretty much shot to sh*t. Nutter Paul taped an interview for this weekend’s Meet the Press. Suddenly, leftist kooks are falling in love with him. Now you see why this s called ‘tea party’ Senator endorsed Mitch McConnell in the GOP primary.

Paul, a possible 2016 presidential candidate known for his breaks with Republican defense hawks on foreign policy, said that Cheney’s criticism of the president’s strategy should also be questioned. Cheney is widely credited as a key architect of the 2003 war.
“I think the same questions could be asked of those who supported the Iraq War,” Paul said. “You know, were they right in their predictions? Were there weapons of mass destruction there? That’s what the war was sold on. Was democracy easily achievable? Was the war won in 2005, when many of these people said it was won? They didn’t really, I think, understand the civil war that would break out.”
He added that the Iraq War has caused ongoing chaos in the Middle East as well as the emboldening of Iran.
