Paul: It’ll Pass Senate if It’s a Partisan Vote

Senator Rand Paul this morning said he believes authorization for the use of military force in Syria will pass the Senate “if it becomes a partisan vote,” but he was much less sure about its fate in the House, saying, “I really have my doubts.” Last week, Paul said he believed there was a “50/50″ chance the House would pass the authorization.

“The most difficult obstacle” for those supporting passage, Paul said on Fox News Sunday, is “going in on the side of the rebels, we’ll be going in on the side of al-Qaeda. Most of us think we’ve been fighting al-Qaeda for ten or twelve years now.”
