Sen. Rand Paul on Trump’s Threats to Iran: When You Bomb a Country, Then People Tend to Rally Around Their Own Flag
RUSH EXCERPT:
PAUL: "Well, I think we wish him the best. We wish freedom and liberation the best across the world, but I don’t think it’s a job of the American government to be involved with every freedom movement around the world, and I do believe that bombing them may have the option. It’s like how do you drop a bomb in the middle of a crowd or protest and the people there if you bombed the government, do then rallied people to their flag who are upset with the ayatollah, but then say well gosh we can have a foreign government invading or bombing our country. It tends to have people rallied to the cause. So I think the protests or directed at the ayatollah justifiably so, and the best way, is to encourage them and say that, of course, we would recognize a government that is a freedom, loving government that allows free elections but bombings. Not the answer. Plus there is the sticking point of the Constitution that we’re only let presidents bomb countries just when they feel like it they’re supposed to ask the people through the Congress for permission"
