If there is someone who doesn’t get foreign policy and wants to intervene all over the globe it seems, it’s John McCain. He’s not quite the opposite of Rand Paul, but close.
And now McCain is telling Rand Paul that he doesn’t understand foreign policy:
WASHINGTON TIMES – Sen. John McCain is hitting back at Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican presidential candidate, for criticizing his hawkish rivals Saturday at New Hampshire’s Republican Leadership Summit.
“He just doesn’t understand,” Mr. McCain, Arizona Republican, said Monday on Fox News, The Hill reported. “He has displayed this kind of naiveté since he came to the Senate.”
Mr. McCain’s comments come after Mr. Paul argued that war hawks within the Republican Party are no different from President Obama’s administration on foreign policy.
“There’s a group of folks in our party who would have troops in six countries right now, maybe more,” Mr. Paul told hundreds of supporters Saturday at the pre-primary event in Nashua. “This is something, if you watch closely, that will separate me from many other Republicans. The other Republicans will criticize Hillary Clinton and the president for their foreign policy, but they would have done the same thing — just 10 times over.”
Let’s see. John McCain got the Egyptian revolution WRONG. And then he tried to get El-Sisi to release the Muslim Brotherhood from prison after calling the revolution against the Muslim Brotherhood a coup.
He then agreed with Obama on intervening in Libya, calling the rebels ‘heroes‘ and supporting even more US military action in Libya to support these ‘rebels’.
And we all know about his trip to Syria to meet with terrorists and his gung-ho attitude about supporting ‘moderate rebels’ in Syria.
I mean, the guy gets it wrong all the time. Say what you will about Rand Paul, but at least he’s not supporting every Islamo-Nazi on the ground just because they are called ‘rebels’. Geez.
