Once again Ted Cruz nails it on defeating ISIS:
“ISIS is gaining strength because the perception is that they are winning and President Obama fuels that perception. That will change when militants across the globe see that when you join ISIS that you are giving up your life, that you are signing your death warrant and we need a president who is focused on defeating every single ISIS terrorist and protecting the homeland which should be the first priority!”
Watch his full answer below:

I like how Cruz turned the focus of Blitz’s question about carpet bombing the city of Raqqa and killing innocents back toward defeating ISIS where they are, saying the focus isn’t to destroy a city but to defeat ISIS soldiers.
They're willing to die for their cause. No one is going to change their mind.
1. Kill people.
2. Destroy things.
3. Protect the American People from all foreign enemies.
Now, who's fault is it that ISIS hides in a populated city, amongst an alleged 'civilian' population who damn' sure ought to know by now that being anywhere near ISIS means you're going to get killed right along with them, when the bombs start dropping?
Is that the fault of the United States of America, or is that the fault of ISIS and those who live among them, drive their oil tankers, and otherwise silently support them?
The old saying 'if you lay down with dogs, don't be surprised when you get up with fleas' certainly applies here.
If you gather with ISIS, don't be surprised when you suddenly find yourself in hell with your 'allah' and find out it's not 72 virgins, it's one 72 year old virgin and she's pissed.
“that you are signing your death warrant”
But that’s what they want....they are tired of thumping goats and little boys....they want their 72 virgins
RULE 5: âRidicule is manâs most potent weapon.â There is no defense. Itâs irrational. Itâs infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
When speaking of ISIS they should ALWAYS be refered to as the JV team...as in the Syrian ISIS JV team etc.
You’re spot on. When we apply our western values and morals to anything Al Queda or ISIS related we fail. As you say, they simply don’t care if they die. To them, that death is the grand prize — dying while combatting the infidels.
The people don’t care about death. We need to bury them in pig’s blood.
As long as those martyrs are dead, I don’t care what they think!
And since those brave martyrs hide their women and children, our politicians shouldn’t be squeamish about collateral damage. Not many Americans cared about collateral damage when we bombed Germany and Japan. War is war.
As the terrorists awaited their fate, General Pershing had his soldiers slaughter two pigs in their presence. The terrorists believed that upon their deaths, their souls would be immediately whisked up to an Islamic paradise where they would be rewarded for their murderous deeds with eternal debauchery.
Traditional Islamic texts describe this paradise as one in which alcohol always flows and the soul is eternally indulged with the best of every kind of food and luxury. The Islamic martyr is taught, as an example of one variation of the theme, that he will be eternally rewarded in Paradise with the benefits of a permanent erection and that he will enjoy the endless sexual pleasures of young virginal girls and beautiful boys dressed in silk shirts.
The same traditional texts also indicate that by eating the flesh of a pig, or even touching a pig, the Muslim is condemned to eternal damnation which is why Pershing's captured terrorists were horrified at the sight of the slaughtered pigs.
Pershing's soldiers proceeded to dip their bullets into the blood of the pigs, in full view of the terrorists, and then to execute 49 out of 50 who found themselves in front of a firing squad. These men had already been involved in horrible crimes of murder against Americans. The soldiers then dug a large pit, threw the corpses into the pit, and then threw the pig's carcasses on top of the corpses making sure that their bodies were covered with pig's blood and entrails.
The surviving 50th man was then let go as an eyewitness. For the next several decades there was not a single recorded Islamic terrorist attack against an American anywhere in the world.
