Sen. Rand Paul Appears on MSNBC's Hardball- May 29, 2015

since we've had unintended consequences notice a stop with that in the upcoming interview he suggested Hillary Clinton is

more of a hawk then here and I'll say this for him he's also unique on another Republican bugaboo evolution

with his religious beliefs all right today I sat down with the senator senator Paul has a new book out taking

a stand it's call he was campaigning in rock hill South Carolina senator thank you for this in your book taking a stand to give a very particular prescription for how we deal with the fight against isis

don't think that's exactly what I said I don't say we leave it to them I I'm more than willing to be a part of the fight I

think providing air support is reasonable providing armaments to those who are willing and able to five talk Kurds

as well I thought I'd go one step further I promise them a homeland and state but I would do it in conjunction with talks with Turkey would have to be a three way discussion and

courage homeland but I'd like to get the Turks involved as well I really like to see and I think the ultimate answer is going to have to be SUNY's are

there are civilized SUNY civilized is on rooting out this aberration because you're never gonna there in

Mosul they're never going to tolerate a Shiite cares I also never going to tolerate an American garrison either we

could win the war with our power by going with a half a million troops again but at what cost and really the

question is of the people who live there are not willing to fight for is there an ultimate victory that we can give them the

choice comes down to us going in big time with ground troops in winning the war our selves and leaving the caliphate what's your choice well

you got I think what we have to do is I comes to that I think what we have to make a decision is is when our American interests involved and what is that me and

doesn't change of circumstances change I think that we had an American interest in Benghazi it's one of the things I faulted Hillary Clinton over I don't think she did enough job

to defend our consulate there and I think there's an analogy in that there's a consulate in or veal and and Kurdistan there's

also a large embassy in Baghdad those are American interest if we are going to stay in the region we're going to have diplomatic outpost there we

have to defend them the debate though should be in Congress not just in the executive branch war was very clearly that power the initiation of war was given to Congress not to the present so

I've been asking and asking and I introduced actually a declaration of war against isis was not that I want to do nothing and

I want to do it constitutionally and I really want to do it in a way that will be a lasting victory and I think that would include era boots on the ground you

know we lost four people good people over in Benghazi summing up the door open you can and yet we lost three thousand the

bin laden was going to tack United States back into the house and he did we lost three thousand people but you don't hear the Democrats spending the last fourteen

years talking about it do you well I think there's an important question difference I think is an important question I think there's an important analogy really between Hussein and toppling cut off and

have gotten chaos we've gotten more of the rise of radical Islam and I believe we were more risk in Libya not just the Benghazi the but

because of Qaddafi being toppled and it being a chaotic failed state I think we are more at risk for attacks from Libya but
