Rand Paul: Republicans criticizing Obama over Libya would have done the same thing "10 times over"

Time after time after time, the soldiers were told not to wear their military style boots because they did not want to offend the Libyans. They didn’t want a show of weapons because it is politically incorrect to show weapons — they’re in the middle of a war zone — which gets me even farther back, why the hell did we ever go into Libya in the first place?

And this is something, if you watch closely, will separate me from many other Republicans. The other Republicans will criticize the president, and Hillary Clinton for their foreign-policy, but they would have just done the same thing, just 10 times over. Everyone of the ones who were criticizing me wanted troops on the ground, our troops on the group in Libya. I think it was a mistake to be in Libya. We are less safe. Jihadists swim in our swimming pool now. It’s a disaster; we should have never been there.
