Rand Paul didn't need to go all the way to New Hampshire to prove that he's a clueless KNOB.

Sorry for the Fox link...once again I am too damned lazy to look for the story from another source.

Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul knows he must broaden his appeal to become his party’s 2016 presidential nominee. But in New Hampshire on Saturday, Paul largely stuck to his core, libertarian-oriented message about the dangers of an over-reaching government that spies on Americans and gets too involved in far-flung civil wars.



Paul on Saturday also took aim at the Obama administration for what he considers having gotten too close to the ongoing conflict in Libya, where four Americans were killed in 2013 during terror attacks on a U.S. outpost in the city of Benghazi.



“Why the hell did we ever go in to Libya in the first place?” Paul asked. “I think it was a mistake to be in Libya. It was a disaster. We never should have been there.”



The United States has since pulled all personnel out of Libya, which has now descended into deeper turmoil as rival governments and militias battle for control.
