Rand Paul becomes the Chamberlain of libertarian movement: Ex-US Senate candidate
‘A former US Senate candidate says Republican Senator Rand Paul, a potential contender for the 2016 presidential elections, has sold himself to the Israel lobby, becoming the Neville Chamberlain of the libertarian movement.
Mark Dankof, a political commentator and broadcaster in San Antonio, Texas, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Wednesday while commenting on independent US Senator Angus King’s warning to Republican senators against their efforts to sabotage Iran nuclear negotiations.
In a bizarre move on Monday, a group of 47 Republican senators ignored protocol and sent an open letter to Iran, warning that whatever agreement reached with President Barack Obama would be a “mere executive agreement” that could be revoked “with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time.”’

Rand Paul, Longtime Foe Of Nation Building, Is Ready Now To Redraw The Middle East
‘”Nation-builder” probably isn’t a term Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) would use to describe himself. The libertarian-leaning senator has built a reputation on his reluctance to intervene abroad, a point he emphasizes as he travels the country ahead of a likely White House bid in 2016.
But on Wednesday, two weeks after telling a crowd of conservatives that Republicans should give up the concept of nation building abroad, Paul called on the United States to ship arms to the Kurds with a promise to build them a nation: Kurdistan.
“Part of the problem is the Kurds aren’t getting enough arms,” Paul told Breitbart News. “The Kurds are the best fighters. The arms are going through Baghdad to get to the Kurds and they’re being siphoned off and they’re not getting what they need. I think any arms coming from us or coming from any European countries ought to go directly to the Kurds.”’
