Marco Rubio is using fear tactics after the horrific attacks in Paris. He is pandering to those who would send more troops to lose their lives once again in the Middle East. Even former Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, says that having our military in the region for 14 years is long enough. He knows nothing about foreign affairs and constantly proves that he is unqualified to lead our nation.

Rubio wants to put boots on the ground in Syria and Iraq to join with Sunnis to defeat Isis.

First of all I believe it would be refreshing if just once politicians asked those who would actually fight their battles what they think. Politicians do not fight wars; they create them, and when the results are not what they expected, they spin the facts with the goal of denying blame for their rash actions and failures.

Second, ISIS is composed of Sunnis. Does the naive Senator from Florida actually believe that Sunnis would fight against their own? The Bush Administration placed the Shiites in power while we were in Iraq. I think the Senator might be confused.

This is the same man who voted against the President’s plan to bomb Assad’s forces in 2013. Today he is simply pandering to move up in the GOP polls. He is a classic ambitious politician; his only goal is winning an election. He refuses to do the job for which he was elected, and cannot control his own finances. He should withdraw from the campaign.

I cannot single out Rubio alone. He is one of 14 totally unqualified candidates from the GOP. No experience, no ideas, and continuous lies and attacks are their only attributes.
