I think we can safely expect the younger Paul to be asked about these assertions on Sunday.

Secretary of State John Kerry laid out in a briefing Friday the facts that led U.S. intelligence to conclude that the chemical weapons attacks in the Damascus suburbs were launched by the Syrian regime. The Wall Street Journal assessed those claims, and found that "Intelligence veterans said Friday that the unclassified presentation of the intelligence assessment appeared solid."

A full transcript of Paul's appearance on Cavuto follows.

CAVUTO: To Rand Paul right now, he says this is all the more reason just to stay out, we can't pick who's going to be in charge or dictate whether someone should stay in charge, so Ron Paul, you heard Donald Rumsfeld, did anything dissuade you of that view?

FMR. REP. RON PAUL (R-TX), THE RON PAUL CHANNEL: Oh, hardly. Hardly should he be considered an expert on the region. He gave us Iraq and Afghanistan, and he was buddies with Saddam Hussein, you know, he worked with him when Saddam Hussein was actually using poison gases, and look at where Iraq is today. It's a disaster. It's more allied with Iran right now, the al Qaeda's in Iraq, and there's a death toll that is coming up every single day. We hear about the death -- so hardly would he be able to give us advice on what to do in Afghanistan.

CAVUTO: Now, having said that, -- I will say this, there is some debate as to whether he individually encouraged Saddam Hussein to use gases on his people. But leaving that aside.

PAUL: No, I'm not ...

CAVUTO: But leaving that aside, I do want to stress this, sir, if I can. Is it your sense, then, that his other argument that Russia or China could take advantage of this and seize on this vacuum, if we do not?

PAUL: I didn't make that accusation, just to clarify, but we as a country and he part of it, actually, we were allies with Saddam Hussein, but that's different -- another subject. You're asking about the danger of escalation, really, with Russia and China. I think it's very, very serious, and I think the markets are telling us that, I think the price of oil is telling us that because it's really a big thing, so, yes, you know, it's supposed to be a token. I think one of the reasons why they say, well, this is not regime change because we're not really positive who set off the gas. I mean, the group that's most likely to benefit from that is al-Qaeda. They, you know, ignite some gas, some people die and blame it on Assad. Assad, I don't think, is an idiot. I don't think he would do this on purpose in order for the whole world to come down on him.

CAVUTO: So, you question ...

PAUL: I'll tell you ...

CAVUTO: All right. Let's say, you question whether Assad even used the gas and that he's just being set up?
