Most likely the GOP will be watching what our foreign policy will be for the next decade or more.
If it continues in the current vein it will be an ugly sight. Appease your enemies, betray your friends, demonstrate weakness, reveal cluelessness, show historical ignorance, withdraw, retreat, surrender; all those fine Democrat foreign policy initiatives.
The first choice will not work American people have no interest is what the last 2 elections were about and it will be the same in 2016. Any candidate that wishes to expand our participation in the ME will not be elected.
We need to pull our troops out but since we are responsible for this mess we have a good deal of ownership.

Or.....
You pull all support, troops and influence. Let them kill and destroy themselves. We go in and pick-up the pieces, if they ask us to.
I agree with the bolded.
As for going in and picking up the pieces, ONLY if they make us an offer we can't refuse.

Rubio using comments from a movie regarding very serious issues on foreign policy sounds very immature, he is not alone. Scott Walker, Cruz, Santorum all cut from the same mold and think we can bomb our way out of the ME with less than 1% of or population participating. Our failed policy of aggression for the past 10 years is a complete failure but these 3 piece suit Rambo's think we can return to the past.
Actually you could say the policy of aggression and meddling in the ME began with the 1953 CIA assisted coup in Iran and we sure as hell don't have much positive to show for it over the past 62 years unless you count a bloated MIC as a positive.

If I ever find myself living under a government like Saddam Hussein`s, I would hope a superpower or group of nations would destroy that government, and once I was free again, I would thank those who rescued me.
OK, what is he quoted in the book as really saying?
He said it the context of regret and sorrow, not gloating.

Obama didn't need to run through this preamble. Everyone knew the litany of his achievements. Foremost on that day, with the fresh news about al-Awlaki, it seemed the president was pondering the drone program that he had expanded so dramatically and with such lethal results, as well as the death of Bin Laden, which was still resonating worldwide months later. "Turns out I'm really good at killing people," Obama said quietly, "Didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine."

I would fight for my own Freedom, one appreciates it more that way.
