The same geniuses who involved the U.S. in a war against Libya, who knocked off the pro-U.S. Libyan Government, who created in Benghazi an extremist shooting gallery which has claimed four American lives including our Ambassador, who have not been held accountable or responsible for those events, who have opened the door for radical fundamentalists to run roughshod over Libya, these same experts are working out of the same playbook for Syria. Assad was no angel, but he was not a significant threat to the U.S. Apparently, flush from success in Libya, the administration is preparing to ratchet up the war in Syria. Why would Qatar, our partner in Libya, be supplying surface-to-air missiles to rebels in Syria without the support of this administration? NATO--meaning the U.S.--discusses putting missiles in Turkey, which would create a de facto no-fly zone over northwest Syria, expanding the war. Is this why we need a tax increase? More money for more war? Really? ____________________

Mike Pence, I think, really helps that message a lot because he's someone who has been in Indiana.
