Rand Paul on Wolf Blitzer 1/23/2013

[Feeding the Abscess]

Where in the video did he say he wanted additional military bases, Abscess? All I heard him say is that they need more protection in dangerous countries.

Yes, more protection that he specifically called to be carried out by the military. And even suggested aircraft carriers and other warships should be moved to North Africa. There is no spinning this in a positive manner. Rand isn't suggesting non-intervention. At all.

1) He said the Marines who currently guard documents at embassies and consulates should instead be guarding the actual embassies and the diplomats
2) He questioned why our aircraft carriers are not near the places our troops are stationed on the ground in case they need assistance in cases like Benghazi
