Rand Paul: There Is No Military Solution to Afghanistan

‘I don’t think that the resolution in 2001 has anything to do with the seven different wars we’re involved with now’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: "I think it depends — it’s very important who you surround yourself with. And I think the only voices in his ear now are 'We can win, we still can win.' But there’s a very big question that everyone needs to be asking. If President Obama could not win the war or end the war with 100,000 troops, how are we going to do it with 3,000 additional troops? There is no winnable solution. There is no military victory to be found in Afghanistan. That debate needs to come to the forefront because, one, we are nation building. They say we’re going to go in there, we will fight it differently and it’s going to be so much better than President Obama. It’s going to be the same, but probably less. It is nation building. After 15 years, you can’t call it anything but nation building."
