Rand Paul 'Not Thinking About Afghanistan,' Says Foreign Policy Is 'A Complete Non-Issue'
Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul says he's "not thinking about Afghanistan" much and that "foreign policy is really a complete non-issue."
Paul discussed his stance those issues during an interview with the National Review on Wednesday:
"Within Republican and conservative circles, the position is somewhat monolithic," he says. "But how long is long enough? It's too simplistic to say there is never a time to come home, or that it's unpatriotic to debate.
There are reasonable people, conservatives like me, who believe that defense is the primary role of the federal government, but do not believe that you can make Afghanistan into a nation. It never has been one." If he had the chance to ask General Petraeus some questions, he says he'd ask, "Is there an end? How can it end? And is it still in our interests?"

We have had more deaths of our soldiers recently ( and 3 from IL just in the last month) Let this imbecile tell it to these soldiers families. Somehow they are not going to think it's a non-issue.
