Rand Paul actually said...

"I continue to support a negotiated solution and think it preferable to war."

"I have been one who says new sanctions in the middle of negotiations is a huge mistake and may well break up the sanctions coalition, may well drive Iran away from the table."

"I accept that blame as a badge of honor and pledge to continue in the new Congress."

"I think for 5 months, we have been derelict in our duty."
