Rand urges Trump not to go to war.

Senator Rand Paul has urged the President to stick to the position on Syria that he espoused before taking office – that military intervention will do more harm than good.
The Senator retweeted a tweet from Trump posted in August of 2013, when a similar chemical weapon attack to this week’s was blamed on the Syrian government.
At the Time Trump tweeted “What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.”

While he condemned the reported attacks in the Syrian city of Idlib, Paul noted that what Trump wrote “remains true today as it was in 2013. Both parts.”quote:

At the time, Trump made his feelings clear after hundreds were killed in the attack, and the Obama administration was on the verge of taking military action.

President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your "powder" for another (and more important) day!

With this week’s atrocity in Syria, it seems Trump may be changing his stance however.
The president said on Wednesday that the attack “crossed a lot of lines for me” and that his “attitude toward Syria and Assad has changed very much.”
After saying last week that it was up to the Syrian people, rather than outsiders to decide what to do about Assad, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said he now believes that Russia needs to reconsider its support of the Assad regime.
In a further interview with Fox & Friends Wednesday, Senator Paul reminded viewers that the support provided by the US government to Syrian rebels in the past has led directly to the current situation in Syria.
“I think it’s also important to note that on the rebel side that McCain wants to support, are radical Islamists who hate America and hate Israel. And I don’t want to support people who hate our country.” Paul noted.
“I don’t want to support people who say when they’re done with Assad they are going to attack Israel and not ISIS. So it’s a complicated situation. And it may be — may well be a war that has no friends in it. And that makes it a difficult position to watch.” the Senator added.
“But I think also we have actually allowed the situation by pushing Assad back and being part of that. We allowed a vacuum to let ISIS fill that — that’s been a mistake.” Paul urged.

Agreed. At least HRC was completely honest about wanting to get involved in the ME. Trump is being a massive hypocrite here.

Kick Bannon and Priebus out completely and make Rand the chief of staff. Anyone with me on that?

Hey I have his 2020 campaign slogan.
There is NOTHING to be gained by intervening in Syria

Rand doesn't have the billions of dollars and star-power required to withstand the globalist media smear campaign that would be launched against him if he ever became the nominee.
That's why Trump seemed like the only one who could take on the MSM and win.
We're fricked.

Agree with Rand
The globalist puppet masters are trying to draw trump administration into a war
Trump needs to be patient and wary of the games the globalist are engaging in

Rand needs to make as much a scene as possible to wake Trump the frick up from the neocons pulling the wool over him.
Rand is a great american as he's willing to put his own presidential future on hold to make sure Trump is a successful President.

And make Newt chief strategist. That man knows his way around Congress as the GOAT Speaker.

Huh? He seems to be in the spotlight a lot, not always pro-Trump. How is he putting his presidential future on hold?
