Rand Paul: My colleagues just voted to arm the allies of al Qaeda


The American government has been incredibly stupid about developments in the Middle East.  Having failed at the right time, the Congress is determined to fail at the wrong time.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday, which voted overwhelmingly to arm elements of the Syrian opposition in a bill co-sponsored by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN). "This is an important moment," Paul said, addressing his Senate colleagues. "You will be funding, today, the allies of al Qaeda. It's an irony you cannot overcome."
