Oops! Looks like the eye doctor's backtracking on those comments.
"After his comments were repeatedly condemned by conservatives, the Kentucky GOP senator says now that he “wasn’t intending really to impugn [Cheney's] personal motives.”
“I think he is a patriot as much as anyone else, and wants what’s best for the country,” Paul
told Business Insider after an event in New Hampshire. “I don’t always agree with him, but I don’t question his motives.”
As for his suggestion that Cheney only wanted to go to Iraq after working for Halliburton, Paul told the outlet: “The point I was trying to make is one similar to one Eisenhower made. He said that the military-industrial complex — beware, because then they could be influencing policy by people who make money off government contracts.”
