Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said if he were president, he would have intervened in Syria much sooner than President Obama did to identify the “reasonable” rebels opposed to the regime of President Basher Assad.

“It behooved us to kind of identify whether there was any elements there within Syria fighting against Assad that we could work with--reasonable people that wouldn’t carry out human rights violations and could be part of building a new Syria. We failed to do that,” Rubio told Jonathan Karl on ABC News’ “This Week.”

Reasonable rebels?? In the middle-east?? That's akin to going into an insane asylum and dealing with "reasonable" inmates.

If I wasn't already writing Rubio off for his immigration fiasco, I'd be writing him off for this.

Not to worry,folks. He's just following the RINO tradition of appealing to Dim voters without registering as a Dim.

Hey! It worked for Poppy Bush and Boy Jorge Bush. Would have probably worked for John McLunatic if his opponent hadn't had the unfair advantage of only being half-white.

OMG!! let's keep that guy on the bench!!! He is dangerous!!!

Well he won't be getting my vote. How many of our boys are needlessly and pointlessly dying in Afghanistan for nothing? How much of our own money is being wasted on policing the world?

Not surprisingly, you chose to quote the author's distorted interpretation of what Rubio said, rather than what Rubio actually said which was shown directly below:

“It behooved us to kind of identify whether there was any elements there within Syria fighting against Assad that we could work with--reasonable people that wouldn’t carry out human rights violations and could be part of building a new Syria. We failed to do that,” Rubio told Jonathan Karl on ABC News’ “This Week.”

Your "selective editing" (the only mortal RR sin) provided you with the pretext you sought to announce to the world (or at least the 7 people currently online) the revocation of your support for Rubio which I'm sure will result in his withdrawal from public life, forthwith.

Okay let's go with that. Let's work with what Rubio actually said.

"It behooved us to kind of identify.....Kind of? What? He can't determine fact from fantasy? KIND OF?

......."whether there was any elements there within Syria fighting against Assad that we could work with--reasonable people...... Reasonable people? Reasonable jihadists? Really? You REALLY BELIEVE THAT CEDRIC? That Islam is REASONABLE? Give me a break.



What Rubio actually said is far worse than anything you've imagined posters here have taken "out of context"!

Rubio wants to aid those who commit atrocities... a rebel commander was filmed cannibalizing the corpse of a pro-Assad fighter.
