Rand Paul ‘No Fly Zone the Dumbest Idea Ever’ | CNN Jake Tapper

Appearing on CNN, Rand Paul, currently tied for 5th in the latest poll, says a no-fly zone over Syria is a “recipe for World War III,” and “the dumbest idea I’ve heard.”

This would be a no-fly zone in an air space where Russia’s already flying…It would be a recipe for disaster, probably a recipe for World War III. And I think it’s such a bad idea that it probably won’t happen. But we also have to look at where we are. You mentioned Iran, Iran is in Iraq. Russia is in Iraq, or flying over Iraq and flying over Syria.”

Sen. Paul went on to pose the question, “Are we better off or worse off with Saddam Hussein gone? Did the Iraq war help us? I think we’re worse off in every way. And this is the important question that Jeb Bush was asked initially and didn’t quite know how to answer was, knowing now what you know now would you invade Iraq again? And the answer should be absolutely not. But the answer should also be, should we go back to Iraq to another war now? Absolutely not.”
