Radical Islam is "a worldwide threat"Pull out Quote from Hugh Hewitt radio interview with US Senate Rand Paul of Kentucky, Oct. 5 (via Breitbart TV):
We've done a pretty good job over the last few years of cutting off the searpant's head so to speak [of Al Qaeda]. We've done, you know, a pretty good job of disrupting them. And that's another thing that's sometimes lost even on my father, that you know, he did vote to go into Afghanistan. So, he did say we can't be attacked on 9/11 without repercussions... So, I think we have done a pretty good job at disrupting their bases in Afghanistan... I don't think there's a nation-state at this point that is accepting Al Qaeda. I mean Iran may be debatable.Editor's note - This website agreess completely and wholeheartedly with the foreign policy views expressed above by Senator Paul. Photo h/t RedDog report
I think an argument can be made that the threat from Al Qaeda is no longer an isolated threat, that it's a worldwide threat, and that having a mobile military that can react at a moment's notice anywhere's in the globe, is the defense rather than land war or nation building.

The question still remains: What gun or bomb should be used and where should it be aimed?
If you aren't getting GBTV, sign up for the free trial. Watch the 10-6 show on The Muslim Brotherhood. Try to keep your drawers dry.
Speaking of, the 10-5 show on the coming crash was a real hoot too (NOT!)
Rand is still basically a non-interventionist. However, he does believe, as I do, that America needs the strongest military on the planet AT HOME to defend against any foreign invader, be it Al-Quaeda or Nazi Zombies or whoever (of course the case could be made that the first two are one and the same). This is what I believe that he was saying in this statement. I think the quote "And that's another thing that's sometimes lost even on my father" is really about how some people misunderstand the elder Paul to the extent that they think he's an isolationist or something and does not want a military at all or does not want to interact with any other nation whatsoever.
