Texas Sen. Ted Cruz accused top U.S. military officials of behaving like “social workers” in Iraq and Syria rather than showing military strength.
In an interview Tuesday night with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Mr. Cruz said he was disappointed by responses from Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey after he questioned them at a Senate hearing on the administration’s plan to defeat the Islamic State.
“Frankly, their answers were far more those you would expect of a social worker, than of military leaders,” Mr. Cruz said.
The Republican senator, who is considering a bid for the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination, said that he pressed Gen. Dempsey and Mr. Hagel for a strategy to militarily destroy the Islamic State within 90 days, but was told that the current strategy was focused on solving political issues in the region.
“When I asked General Dempsey, militarily, how would we go in and kill the terrorists before they’re able to take jihad to America, his answer was, ‘Well, we need to see political reconciliation,’” Mr. Cruz said.

All part of the plan to “transform” the USA into a third world Socialist hell hole......
Who Dares Call It Treason?
its the pensions.....it keeps the goalongs and the pussies in office because they don’t make waves...they’re working to secure their fat pensions and the country can just go to hell....
Ping
What should we expect from a community organizer?
Is he trying to make our military the peace corps?
I love the way Ted Cruz tells it like it is.
“Ted Cruz nailed it.”
Yes he did.
“Hagel and Dempsey are merely carrying out 0bama’s social experiments......”
It’s my perspective his social “experiments” are actually his beliefs. He thinks he’s fixed the system.
I think his brain grew upside down, and backwards, which is probably what all those scars on his skull are from Dr. Frankenstein trying to fix it.
It may not have grown upside down and backwards, maybe it’s way too small and just rattles around.
These aren't social experiments...these are Saul Alinsky dictates...Obama, raised a Muslim until he was given to his Socialist grand parents to raise, is now showing his upbringing and his college pedagogy....I think Ted Cruz understands this as well.
It’s not the pensions. They can retire with pensions right now. What is it then?
I wish he would do a weekly moto speech for our military and truly let them know that there are people who have been elected that will have their backs as much as the system will allow. Not that that is any consolation to having to serve under traitors who should be shot on sight, or is it hung? what is the punishment for treason?
BOOM.
Cruz will annihilate Hilary.
Accept no imitations.
How?
Ted Cruz has been nailing the left to the wall for years. This one will leave a mark.
Yeah.....GOOD POINT! (with serious facial expression LOL)
Just a thought. :-)
You bet.
Go Ted Cruz!
Still laughing. :)
