Rand Paul: Obama's only Syria objective is "stalemate"

Sen. Rand Paul on Friday said he thinks the Obama administration’s only objective in Syria is “stalemate” and he does not support “sending my son, your son or anyone else’s son to fight if your goal or objective is stalemate.”

“I think we have no strategic objective and I don’t think it’ll change the course of the war,” the Kentucky Republican told Fox News. “In fact, one of the things that troubles me is that we’ve already announced in advance well, it’s not going to be too much of an attack, it’s not going to last too long and we’re not for regime change.”

“And I’ve told them, frankly, I’m not sending my son, your son or anyone else’s son to fight if your goal or objective is stalemate,” Paul said. “That’s not what Americans are about.”

Paul also appeared on Fox News on Thursday night and said he “can’t see fighting to impose Sharia law in Syria.”
