Declared and potential GOP presidential candidates competed Saturday to sound the toughest warning to Islamic terrorists -- with one vowing to bomb them "back to the 7th Century" and another invoking Liam Neeson's threat from the film, "Taken" -- in the latest forum underscoring how national security has returned as a dominant campaign theme.

A roster of Republicans spoke at a summit in Greenville, S.C., the state which holds the first-in-the-South presidential primary. Several who recently announced their 2016 campaigns -- including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio -- were among them, firing up the conservative crowd with broadsides against ObamaCare, big government and the current administration.

But, days after an attack in Texas that the Islamic State claimed credit for, the ISIS threat and other security issues were front and center.

That’s only his stage persona thatt would do that. In real life he’d welcome them and their “diversity” never lifting a gun because we have too many GD many of them over here and submit his neck to the blade williingly

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who is weighing a presidential bid and plans to announce his decision soon, likewise told the gathering he's driven by what he called President Obama's failures on national security.

"Heck, I would just be happy if our president would be able to tell the difference between our friends and enemies. ... Let me give our president a primer: Iran, enemy. Israel, friend," he said.

Stupid Fox! Neeson didn’t make the threat - his character did.

Oh, by all means, lets adopt Hollywood’s strategy as our national security policy. I guess Rubio doesn’t know that the guy he was quoting is for taking our guns away.

We had the men and weapons to do that over there for ten years. We built roads and schools. We tried to win hearts and minds. We failed miserably.

Look at pictures of Japanese and German cities in the summer of 1945. Are we willing to do that all over the middle east?

The military is an instrument to destroy infrastructure and kill people by the thousands. The only winning move is total destruction of the enemy. Nation building is for leftists like Clinton and W.

Did Santorum ask for Bruce Jenner’s opinion on the matter?

The analysis is wrong: we should bomb them UP to the seventh century.

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obedience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.
