This is an interesting line if one takes it as more than simply an introduction to the announcement of the death of God. Perhaps the madman genuinely seeks him.
This would coincide with the idea that people turn to religion out of weakness. Indeed, many of the descriptions which the people in the marketplace give to the madman are considered lesser. the madman may seek God for hopes of ideas which Nietzsche dismissed, such as heaven and objective morality.
There is then a great joke made by having a man thought to be insane seek God, an act Nietzsche would dub insane. This odd perspective yields the ability for people from both sides of the aisle in terms in theology to dismiss this man as nonsensical. All of his claims balance out to make the madman unbiased, a bringer of truth.

Well, the troops did leave Iraq by the end of 2011, although they have since returned in the aim of combating ISIS.
President Obama campaigned in 2008 on the promise of bringing the troops home. While he seems to have kept his word on this (which makes Paul happy to be wrong), the U.S. is still extremely involved in the Middle East. For starters, the War in Afghanistan continues. Under the Obama administration, drones seem to have taken the place of troops for the role of policing the world. The drone war in Pakistan is massive and destructive. This shows that while we are not sending Americans into the field anymore to be killed, we are still spending an exorbitant amount of money and massacring citizens of foreign nations.

This interesting phrasing brings up not only being the world’s police, but the U.S. policing its world empire. While the Washington Post disagrees with Paul’s numbers when he talks about military bases, it’s safe to say that there are over 500 of them globally.
The U.S. is being seen as a bringer of destruction by many of the countries it has a strong military presence in. Not only is there literal torture in the form of “enhanced interrogation,” but the fear induced by constant drone strikes and bombings is whole ‘nother kind. America does not create peace in the world.
This issue has certainly continued into 2015, with over 5,000 deaths via drone strikes during the Obama administration. Paul touched on that in August

He’s drinking Admiral Nelson’s Rum – a cheap alternative to Captain Morgan.
Calling it “the poor Captains” is a shortened way of calling something the “poor man’s” version of something, a knock-off e.g.
