[goRPaul]

Big moment for Rand. He's in a great position to prevent this war.

 

[fearthereaperx]

This is gonna be big

 

[twomp]

I hope Rand Paul asks if there will be "boots on the ground" in the event that Syria strikes back against us? I mean all they need to do is send one of these SS-N-26 ONYX Missiles (world's fastest hypersonic anti-ship missile) to sink one of our destroyers.

This is gonna be big

Can someone please record this? I am not free at that time.

I'm sure they hate that he is on this committee. If he was in the House of Representatives, Boehner would have kept him from it. I wonder if this is one of the advantages of McConnell and he having a decent working relationship.

Absolutely is. There is much larger evil in the world than Mitch McConnell and it's best to just leave him alone and take advantage of the help. He's a fair weather ally and the wind is blowing this way right now.

Rand has said in speeches that knowing McConnell got him the spot on this committee. Supporting McConnell is an extraordinarily small price to pay to have bullhorn during this debate and it also gave him the ability to grill Hillary during the Benghazi hearings.

I see Obama is missing from the list of attendees.. Does he have a prior commitment; i.e., golf game?
