Rand Paul: Assad 'Protected Christians' in Syria, Rebels 'Attacking Christians'





WASHINGTON - Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Sunday portrayed the current conflict in Syria as one between the government of President Bashar Al Assad, who Paul said "has protected Christians for a number of decades," and "Islamic rebels," who Paul said "have been attacking Christians" and are aligned with Al Qaeda.


"I think the Islamic rebels winning is a bad idea for the Christians, and all of a sudden we'll have another Islamic state where Christians are persecuted," Paul said on NBC's "Meet the Press."


Paul was likely referring to a string of incidents in Egypt in recent weeks, where supporters of the deposed government of former president Mohamed Morsi have burned Coptic Christian churches to protest what they see as Christian backing for the military overthrow of Morsi's government.

So you think installing an al qaeda puppet government will be better ?

 

[boedicca]

Synthabrain once again displays his ignorance - this time of history and the current geo-political-national security situation.

Some of the insurgents opposing Assad are Al Quaeda operatives. Does he really think American interests would be served by supporting AQ taking over Syria?

(h/t to eots - great minds think alike)

What a minute: some of the insurgents opposing Saddam were al Qaeda operatives.

Did you really think American interests would be served by Bush supporting AQ taking over Iraq?

Whose evidence are you going by that they are al Qaeda?

Biggest political story of the day. Rand Paul giving support to Assad. Should be no surprise. The Paul folks have been mimicking Syrian propaganda right here on USMB.

There were Republicans in the House and Senate who were doing that very thing before WWII....praising how Hitler was running Germany.

We aren't talking about Bush and Saddam, bub - that is a pathetic and futile attempt at diversion. But let's assume we are. If you think that Bush was wrong, then why do you support Obama doing what that for which you criticize Bush?

Paul, a first-term senator and vocal opponent of U.S. intervention overseas, including U.S. foreign aid, said the U.S. should pursue a negotiated settlement where "Assad is gone, but some of the same people [from Assad's regime] remain stable," because, he said, "that would also be good for the Christians."

Unbelievable ignorance.

He actually believes dictatorial regimes are the same as a Western democracies.

And obviously Paul couldn’t care less that innocent Muslims are being killed, as if Christians are more deserving of life.

Senator Paul has to report ultimately to the zionists, but it is refreshing to hear his voice of reason occasionally.

There were Republicans in the House and Senate who were doing that very thing before WWII....praising how Hitler was running Germany.

Are you denying that Hitler did a great job in turning Germany from a sacked state to a world power?

 

[R.C. Christian]

Good job Rand Paul. You don't see these liberal dogs complaining every time their Sunni, terrorist heroes paid for by Obama murder Christians.

 

[S.J.]

He wasn't "praising" Assad, idiot. He was pointing out that the Syrian rebels were worse, as far as American interests are concerned. And he's right.

 

[momsapplepie]

and no one says anything about Pelosi and Kerry who just a few years back thought Assad was the greatest!

I'm pointing out that you thought Bush was right.

So why aren't you supporting the same thing from Obama?

Because he's Black? Or just because he's a Democrat?

Glad to see you fully deny it at least when it counters your point of view.
