If they re quietly embarrassed by this overseas adventurism, put your money on rand paul, because he is betting he doesn t say it, they blew it. and they better not blow it again with another country. your thought. that s actually a very, very interesting question, taking all those comments from those clips that you showed and others that we ve been seeing from cpac all weekend and boiling it down to what does it mean about when it comes to iraq. and, look, what i think is happening here is, you know, they don t like the guy who is in the white house right now. president obama, we ve seen it before. president obama will do will be doing things that they say he should be doing, but they don t realize he is doing it, because they hate him so much. they can t stand anything that he does. and so if the president were doing what senators cruz and paul want him to do on ukraine, on syria, on libya, benghazi, fill in the blank, they would hate him for it. so i think there is a mix of ....
