that were run over and in some cases didn t get air support for three or four days until they were finally surrendered or slaughtered. this approach fictioxes that. it is not a private army. it s a clear delineation of who is in charge, okay, afghan government working for a u.s. government officials, funded by the united states at a fraction of a fraction of what we re spending now. what would it cost? this is a $3.5 billion packaging savoring more than saving more than $52 billion for the u.s. is don junior involved? the president was right to campaign against endless wars. how do you get your message to him? because he s going to have to overrule jim mattis for this to happen. if we leave decisions on warfare solely to the pentagon, we will be at war forever. we ll be here 17 years. you ll long since be retired. and we ll still be fighting in it afghanistan.
original use of force, i m not in favor of an unlimited three situation to be at war forever. we re at war of eight different group and 20 s. we h soldiers die in mali the other day. many people can t find mali on the map and have no idea why we re there. we should be debating. it s congress s role. it scongress role of debating that. neil: so what does that mean? if something were to act up, the syrians use chemical weapons, what would be senator rand paul s position would be? the war power s act and people over time have come to believe and i do believe that the president can repel imminent invasion. if we believe someone is in the process of launches a weapon can act imminently.e president when we werettackeon pearl harbor, it took 24 hours and
it that way. i disagree with the president on the libyan incursion and disarming the rebels. i ve been trying to end it for years. one of the more important constitutional questions here is what authority does anyone have to go to war in iraq? i ve been trying to take that authority away. i introduced a vote about a year or two ago and only got about 33, 34 votes to end the war even though it s over. can one generation bind another generation? can the people you elected in 2002 who voted to go to war in 2002, does that bind us forever? are we at war forever? no geographic limit and no temporal or time limit on this? i think there has to be a limit. and then if we go to war again, and i m not saying we never go to war, that s why i ve said i don t rule out air strikes. if we go to war, there needs to be a vote of american people through the representatives. we need to have a consensus that, yes, it is worth dying even though the shiites or people living there are not willing to fight fo
disarming the rebels. i ve been trying to end it for years. one of the more important constitutional questions here is what authority does anyone have to go to war in iraq? i ve been trying to take that authority away. i introduced a vote about a year or two ago and only got about 33, 34 votes to end the war even though it s over. can one generation bind another generation? can the people you elected in 2002 who voted to go to war in 2002, does that bind us forever? are we at war forever? no geographic limit and no temporal or time limit on this? i think there has to be a limit. and then if we go to war again, and i m not saying we never go to war, that s why i ve said i don t rule out air strikes. if we go to war, there needs to be a vote of american people through the representatives. we need to have a consensus that, yes, it is worth dying even though the shiites or people living there are not willing to fight for it. you have blamed republicans and democrats for the prosecution o
east. what i would say is the war emboldened iran. it s much more of a war than they were before. before a standoff between sunnis and shiites now throughout the region. has president obama made america less safe? i don t less respected in that part of the world. i don t think i would put it that way. i disagree with the president on the libyan incursion and with arming the syrian rebels. with ending the war in iraq, i ve been trying to end it for years. in fact, you know, one of the important constitutional questions here is what authority does anyone have to go to war in iraq. i ve been trying to take that authority away. i introduced a vote in the senate about a year or two ago, and we only got 33, 34 votes to end the war, even though it s over. here is my point, can one generation bind another generation. can the people you elected in 2002, who voted to go to war in 2002, does that bind us forever? are we at war forever?
