Sen. Rand Paul: Don’t bury your heads in the sand, Assad won the war!
The US Republican senator, Rand Paul, said that Syrian President Bashar Al Assad has emerged victorious from the war.
“We cannot ask Assad to leave … Assad has won the war, but some people are putting their heads in the sand and they just want to send two thousand soldiers to Syria … it will become a means to accelerate the possibility of an extended war involving Russia and Iran. That the American people want another major war in the Middle East “.
“Russia is a big player”, he said in an interview with CBS News on Sunday.
“If we do not talk about Syria, we’ll not find a solution”.
“Iran is a player … we have to talk to Iran about Syria, too”.
Paul stressed that the American people are tired of the war and that he wants to rebuild his country, noting that between 60 to 70% of Americans support the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and Syria.
“Only the chair generals in Washington want to keep us in a state of war forever with people.
The Americans are tired of that.
We want this money here in our country and we want to create jobs and build roads and bridges here at home rather than in Afghanistan”.
“We have to look at the comments of those who support our eternal presence in Afghanistan and remain in Syria now without any definite end.
Even General James Matisse said there is no military solution in Syria and also said there is no military solution in Afghanistan, What do you feel when they are deployed in Afghanistan, while their commander says there is no military solution in this country … In my opinion, responsibility lies with Mattis and others who want eternal war, and they To explain if there is no military solution Why send more troops?
