Ted Cruz weighed in on Syria this morning and the recent escalation by Russia to support Assad and Iran. He says at this point we should stop trying to bring Sunnis and Shias together to act like brothers and lay down their arms and that we should stop engaging in the fiction of trying to find ‘moderate rebels’ to train and support.

Cruz says our focus should be ISIS and we should target and destroy them with overwhelming air power.

The difference between moderate 'mooselimbs' and radical 'mooselimbs with apologies to Firefly:

"If they capture you they'll rape you to death, eat you flesh, and sew your skin into their clothing. And, if you are very, very lucky, and they are moderate 'mooselimbs' they will do it in that order."

Cruz demonstrated gravitas

Cruz has demonstrated stupidity in wanting a missile site in Poland to antagonize Putin, a partner in the war against Islamists world domination.

Cruz...” we should stop trying to bring Sunnis and Shias together to act like brothers and lay down their arms and that we should stop engaging in the fiction of trying to find ‘moderate rebels’ to train and support”....... our focus should be ISIS and we should target and destroy them with overwhelming air power.”.....

It’s now reported that Russia has begun launching CRUISE MISSILES at ISIS from warships 900 miles away as ‘Syrian ground troops’ begin major offensive supported by Putin’s bombers.

Cruz is right....Syria is no longer, and hasn’t been, the political issue Obama and Hillary continue to raise. It’s long past that as soon as terrorists infiltrated and took over the so called New Syrian Army.....who now have their butts sitting in Europe.........

Those in the mid east respect one thing,
Military might.
Unlike this metrosexual jive ass punk we have as a leader,
Putin in not concerned with public opinion.
He is ruthless and will make an example as he feels the need, unlike obammy drawing rainbows in the sand.

.....Worse than.." naive to believe that there are moderates in the Muslim world that have any real influence over anything"....

Having seen many photos of refugees in Europe you would be stunned to see comparison photos popping up of more than a few of these refugees along side their terrorist photo role in Syria...from chopping off heads to setting people on fire.....who are now in Europe and 'granted asylum'.

....The Terrorists Are Already Among Us.....

the Kurdish Rudaw reported that 'Osama Abdul Mohsen' - the refugee tripped by photographer Laszlo - was in fact a member of the radical 'Nusra Front', which pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda in April of 2013... (before leaving Syria with his family in the spring of 2015)... and was later blacklisted by the UN as a terrorist organization. Now given asylum in Spain
