Ted Cruz on Paris Attacks: “I Recognize Barack Obama Does Not Wish to Defend This Country”
Gateway Pundit ^ | Nov 14th, 2015 | Jim Hoft

Senator Ted Cruz went on FOX and Friends Saturday morning after the bloody slaughter by ISIS in Paris.

ISIS released a statement on Saturday claiming responsibility for the Islamic terror attacks on Paris Friday night that killed around 127 and wounded more than 200.

The bloody attacks were carried out by eight terrorists employing gunfire and explosives on several locations.

ISIS released an audio promising: “This is just the beginning.”

The terrorists were carrying passports from Egypt, France and Syria.

Ted Cruz responded to this horrific attack on the West. He also commented on Barack Obama’s cowardice and neglect of duty.

FOX Host Jon Scott: If you do succeed in winning the office does it mean application of military force toward ISIS?

Senator Ted Cruz: It means that we will have a Commander in Chief who takes seriously defeating radical Islamic terrorism. I recognize that Barack Obama does not wish to defend this country. He may be tired of war but our enemies are not tired of killing us.

Count on Senator Truz to speak the truth. Obama must be thrown out of office, he is going to get us all killed.

“He needs to be removed from office before the next election.”

I agree with your sentiment. The problem is Congress would never impeach him and even if they did, Biden would be in and would run. A military coup could do it, but that is a very dangerous slope.

Secular humanist libtards want a weak America because it makes it much easier to create a one world government.Humanism believes that mankind should evolve into a world community and that such a community necessitates a world government.

"a truly humanist civilization must be a world civilization."

“They were not injured by some faceless menace. They were not injured by some abstract and inchoate violent extremism.
They were injured by radical Islamic terrorism, an evil that is at war with the people of America, that is at war with freedom-loving people across the globe.”

Sen Ted Cruz

“Obama... he may have been tired of war but our enemies are not tired of killing us.”
Cruz is a leader I believe America needs and would follow. I pray I’m wrong but I’m afraid Paris was only a dress rehearsal for more Isis attacks. I’m afraid our borders have been open so long that Isis cells are placed all over and preparing or are prepared for attacks on us here at home. Our Commander In Chief” needs to do whatever it takes to root out these cells and destroy anyone planning on attacks against us. The only thing our enemies will understand is strength, which is something our current administration does not come close to showing.

“Noting that I will vote for Cruz if nominated as Republican candidate, given the laundry list of reasons why Obama shouldn’t be president, why isn’t Sen. Cruz exercising his leadership skills to lead corrupt Congress to impeach and remove lawless Obama from office? “

Because he is looking forward and does not want to spend the time and energy on a lost cause. I agree he deserves to be impeached, but look how long it takes and even so the congress would not do it.

While I applaud Cruz’s statement, the situation is actually worse. The statement portrays Hussein as passive, when in fact he actively undermining America. Hussein is a domestic enemy. Period.

The Left prefers death to admission of a failed philosophy. Multiculturalism is code for White Corpses.

Obama loves watching Americans and “Infidels” get slaughtered. Did you all notice that pout face that he did yesterday during his press conference. Bill Clinton used to do the same thing, its to keep him from laughing

The next CIC will have the added challenge of all the Muslim Syrian refugees allowed into the country by the Obama Regime’s foolish policy.

We are in a very dangerous situation. Hard to deny that Obama is enabling the terrorists. Biden couldn’t be as bad.

Obama needs to be exiled or imprisoned for blatant aiding and abetting of the enemy.

"Because the Senate doesn’t impeach. Because he is looking forward and does not want to spend the time and energy on a lost cause."

So regardless that Obama has been hurting the country for the last six and a half years, and continues to hurt the country as evidenced by the discussion of this thread, Cruz in the meanwhile finds it prudent to ”play it safe” by waiting to become president before he starts healing the countrys Obama-inflicted damage. Oookay.
