Rand Paul backtracks, says GOP isn't entirely responsible for creating ISIS

[peecoolyour]

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) backtracked on his recent comments that hawkish Republicans were responsible for creating the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS.

Last week, Paul said the Islamic State "exists and grows stronger" because of Republican hawks who were too eager to arm Syrian rebels. Pressed on those comments by Fox News Host Sean Hannity on Monday, Paul took some of the blame off Republicans.

"I think ultimately I could have maybe stated it a little bit better," said Paul, who is seeking the Republican nomination for president. "The ultimate people who are responsible for terrorism are obviously the terrorists. So ISIS is responsible for the mayhem, the murders, the brutality, the beheadings, that's ISIS."

Paul linked the rise of ISIS to the policies of President Barack Obama, but stopped short of saying his party was not responsible at all.

There's not a sincere bone in this man's body.

2. As repulsive as his father was you at least knew where he stood

Ron Paul was wrong more often than not, but when he occasionally did get something right you knew he was not going to cave. When Rand gets something right you know that it is only a matter of time until his puppet masters convince him to go back to the dark side. He has all of his father's bad side and none of the good.
