Sen. Paul Appears on CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper- May 22, 2015

president candid rand Paul he also has a new book out called taking a stand moving beyond partisan

I'm first on the national security for what should the US be doing about ice I think we do better I

think we also need to acknowledge this very complicated situation if anybody had an easy answer we departed come up with I

think part of the problem is is that there's a long we're going on a thousand year war soon she I and

that while the SUNY towns that are being overtaken may ultimately grow to to learn how bad isis is they're

comparing it with the Iranian influence Shiite militias and they're making a judgment and leave now

is been if anything really a political problem for a long time that you have a Iraqi government it's not been very good of becoming a general government

representing everyone it's a government that seems to be oven for the Shiites and that's the way Zuni's perceive and

a couple things I would do one I would promise the Kurds a homeland of the best fighters over there and I would equip them directly with arms I wouldn't have to go through the Shiite on government I

think there's a little bit of tension between the two between the Kurds and Shiite government that alienating Turkey

because they are all your like us that nothing simple here I in order to do that I wouldn't do that vacuum I would say tomorrow

I'm wrecking Kurt but I would go to the Turks and I would say to the church and to the car I would say what

about the Kurds having a homeland within Iraq and maybe within that little sliver of Syria Sir near Kobani but

the Kurds would have to give up any pretension to morning land in Turkey would have to be a three way peace deal well

we actually had the Turks and to art to the young girl you're giving up all claim to our land and we're going to not be the

the the advantage to that is I think you have to search more involved you know I think the Turks have been too passive in this and

the Turks were to bring up significant forces I think it changes the outlook for eyes so you think that the first word that would start fighting isis I

think that's a go I mean that that would be the goal is that if you can get a peace between the Kurds and the Turks and

give the Serbs involved obviously to battle is much easier there's all kinds of goals that are easier said than done yeah but what about the role of the U. S. you thinking you as a lot of Republicans have been talking certainly

several I I think that ultimately the victory comes from my boots on the ground I think his boots on the ground to be Arab boots on the ground if

your Rockies are not willing to fight for their country I I don't think I was an American GI standard for America if

part of the solution would be Assad going into exile and having a stable government where it the government of Syria versus the bad guys I see now

you have fifteen hundred groups they are fighting Assad got bad people on both sides of the equation so it isn't very easy to do and

then the third part of this is how we get the Saudis in the Qatar is and I would tell them you've grown rich off our petrol dollars when

you do something useful mass help us fight isis on the ground with your troops on the ground as you say a lot easier
