Rand Paul on a lack of national support for a war in Syria: "We've had that on occasion but we don't have that here"
In a special edition of "Piers Morgan Live" that directly followed Barack Obama's national address, on Tuesday evening the host spoke live with Rand Paul, asking the junior U.S. Senator from Kentucky for his insight into the dangerous and tyrannical ways of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
"He's killed 100,000 people with conventional weapons, so, yeah, that's the question: even if the gas leaves the country, which would be a good idea to have it under international control, the slaughter still goes on," noted Paul, responding to any perceived notion that removing Syria's chemical weapons might essentially solve the problem. "He still has a great conventional weapon advantage in Syria."
Concluding an interview that began with Wolf Blitzer serving up the questions, the 50-year-old Republican expressed his dissatisfaction with Obama's speech, suggesting that employing U.S. military is not the answer at present:
"The doctrine for a military, when you get your military involved, should be that the country should be completely behind you and that you should go in to win and it should be with reluctance that we go to war, and it should be with an overwhelming force with the entire country behind you," said Paul, while seated next to Blitzer in Washington, but responding to Morgan in New York. "We've had that on occasion but we don't have that here."

Mr. President,
I've been taking Russian and studying Soviet, Russian and former CIS studies,
including 2 years researching and writing on post-Soviet petroleum and foreign investment law for the
biggest law firm in Texas (and the world), since I was in high school (Andover).
Trust me, sir,
"you're not doing it right."
Please read your Reagan and get back to me.
Thanks.
Sincerely,

It`s Russias fault,it`s Russias fault. It`s that damn Russia and Chinas fault. They stopped us from getting a UN resolution against Syria. In case you hav`nt heard, So did the British! I hav`nt heard anyone throwing them under the bus though.
Next time you tell the story about how we were blocked in the UN security councel from getting a resolution.Tell the whole story, Russia,China and the BRITISH!
Why does CNN trot out the same tired horses every time Obama does something. Everyone knows what they are gong to say before they say it. Never a kind work will ever pass their lips about this man. Wonder why your rating are down? You keep beating a dead horse. One would think they were on your payroll.
I I am wondering something similar to Mr Boone.
I am wondering why the network continues to bring people like Mr Santorum and Mr Paul on air every day. I have never been much of an Obama fan, but to state my stance, briefly, I am in agreement with him on Syria and the need to act. I find it a sad state of affairs if the two aforementioned gentlemen are the best the Republican party has to offer in 2016.
Mr Santorum is acting as the poster child for exactly what is wrong in Washington today. He speaks only to be heard in the moment. He contradicts himself more than anyone I have seen for some time now. It does not matter to Mr Santorum WHAT President Obama says or does, he will say it is wrong, even though it completely contradicts what he has stated previously. He criticizes because the president wants to act. He criticizes because the president has not acted. There is nothing that Mr Obama has or could say or do that this man would agree with. He speaks only to have himself heard. I have news for Mr Santorum. He IS being heard and anyone with half a brain laughs at the notion of this man coming anywhere close to the White House except, maybe, on an invitation to visit whoever will be residing there next. And Mr Paul does not seem to have a grasp on reality when it comes to how the world works, or the tough decisions a President must sometimes make, with or without full backing all the preferred sources. I shudder to think of this country being led by either of these men. One a pure " politician" ( in the unkind sense of the word ) and the other a man who does not understand the realities of the decisions that must be made by the person in the highest office of this land.
And by the way, I am registered and vote as a Republican.
The majority of interviews lately on CNN seem to be by critics of the President. John McCain and Graham are on so much you would think they work for CNN. Ditto with Paul, Cruz, Rubio, Grayson (DINO) and all of the others who can't open their mouths without slamming the President. Shouldn't the country come together in a crisis? Is this really the time to play politics? Isn't slamming the President and trying to make him look weak playing into Putin's and Assad's hands? There are many, many intelligent politicians who understand and support the President. How about having them on an equal amount of time?
This administration including the Illuminati school boys are incompetent to do anything , especially foreign policy! From F.D.R. till now you deserve to bow for your greed, and power trips all over my planet. That's what you get when you have people like Valerie Jarret advising the President while he snorts coke and plays poker while our elite get shot up from the rules of engagement that confines them.
Congratulations to Vladimir Putin for putting this administration in its place. Very well deserved as the U.S.A. is not to be the policeman or savior of the world forcing and imposing democracy on the planet and in doing so, leave them in worse shape than when we went in. The progressive liberal idiots deserve the mess they created. Congratulations for President Vladimir Putin swiping the Nobel Peace Prize from Barry Soetoro! If I was judge and jury, I would have every administration from Obama back to Clinton and have them hanging upside down from Dogwood trees.
Yes it should be up to a popularity contest with the polls deciding when to go to war because it worked out so well in Iraq and the government could never gin up support with fabricated intelligence and fear. These people learn nothing because they deny their own mistakes.
9999 The operate you've finished has gotten you this significantly. These station replica purses tend to be the clone for that authentic splendid channel totes.
