Rand: Obama’s ‘Intervened Quite a Bit in the Mid-East and ... Not to Our Benefit’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TODD: "It’s interesting, senator. When I read what you say about ISIS and your strategy to take on ISIS and I hear president Obama say what he says about ISIS, I don’t see a lot of daylight between two of you. Where am I wrong?"
PAUL: "Actually, the difference is that President Obama and Hillary Clinton both supported arming the Syrian rebels, the Islamic rebels against Assad. I wouldn’t have done that. They also supported toppling Qaddafi and Libya. So the interesting thing is is while Obama gets blamed for not intervening enough, he’s actually intervened quite a bit in the Middle East and I think not to our benefit. And so I wouldn’t arm the rebels in Syria. I wouldn’t have toppled Qaddafi and I would continue to sell arms to Saudi Arabia which continues to be sort of an arsonist in that region, fanning the flames. Just yesterday executing a Shiite cleric which I think is going to erupt into more problems in Saudi Arabia. So, no, I think my foreign policy is quite a bit different. I also don’t believe in giving foreign aid to people who are enemies and supplying weapons to the allies of Al Qaeda as Obama has. So really I’m kind of the opposite. The interesting thing is, is the Graham's and the McCain's have been on the same side of Obama, they just want more of what Obama has been doing."
