Rand Paul blames 'hawks in our party' for Islamic State's rise
By Nick Gass
“ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately, and most of those arms were snatched up by ISIS. These hawks also wanted to bomb Assad, which would have made ISIS’ job even easier. They’ve created these people,” Paul said in an interview with MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough that aired Wednesday on “Morning Joe.”
“They just wanted more of it, but Libya’s a failed state and it’s a disaster. Iraq really is a failed state or a vassal state now, of Iran,” he said. “So everything that they’ve talked about in foreign policy, they’ve been wrong about for 20 years, and yet they have somehow the gall to keep saying and pointing fingers otherwise.”
Is it finally time for the NeoCon wing of Republican Party's narrative on Iraq and the Middle East to be seriously challenged inside the Republican Party? Is the GOP ready to abandon the NeoCon wing's self serving mythology? Rand Paul is already being savagely attacked on Right Wing blogs for his heresy. Its a fight the GOP needs to have to discredit the delusional NeoCon worldview.
