But Jeb Bush was only a governor. Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq
war as a senator. [Vice President] Joe Biden voted for the Iraq war as a
senator….We need to elect an outsider, who never voted for the Iraq war
or the Libya hell, who understands foreign policy…who can hold these
people accountable — Obama and Hillary Clinton — just like Bush is held
accountable because of his brother’s stupid war,” Paul says.
“Therefore,” he continues, “I’m campaigning to these 90 million evangelicals, to as many as I can reach for the next nine months, to mobilize rallies, prayer rallies, so that our next president can reverse the Iran deal and protect the interests of Americans, Israelis, and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) nations.”
Paul has been a state guest of Iran three times and calls Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif “a good friend.” So why did Paul spend last summer
building a global coalition to oppose the nuclear
deal? He puts it this way: “Why Iran? Why not Sudan?”
In 2010 and 2011, Paul says he spent eight months in Sudan trying to persuade President Omar al-Bashir to sacrifice 60 percent of the government’s wealth and 30 percent of its land to the Christian-majority southern part of the country. Ultimately, Bashir allowed a referendum for southern Sudan to secede and become an independent country. Paul laments that Sudan, despite its sacrifice, hasn’t seen the sanctions relief that America promised the African nation would receive — yet $150 billion in sanctions relief is coming Iran’s way in the nuclear deal.
