Sen. Cruz: Attacking Syria Is Not In National Interest
Real Clear Politics ^ | Aug 28, 2013 | Hannity/Cruz

Posted on 08/31/2013 7:48:00 PM PDT by Innovative

Ted Cruz: Number one, under no circumstances should we be arming rebels who are affiliated with al-Qaeda. And this administration has already suggested they want to arm the rebels with no reliable means of differentiating al-Qaeda from non-al-Qaeda.

And number two, our concern should be those chemical weapons, preventing them from falling into the hands of Hezbollah, preventing them from falling into the hands of al-Qaeda. That should be guiding our actions, not expressing some moral outrage from a university faculty lounge.

....

You know, Sean, it was striking when the protests were occurring in Egypt against the Muslim Brotherhood, that the protesters were waving banners that said President Obama supports Morsi, the United States supports the radical Islamic government that is oppressing us. What a sad state of affairs when the United States is arm and arm with oppressive Islamist governments.

The House of Saud is playing Obama like a fiddle

They also played both Bushes like a fiddle.

I wonder if Cruz had a problem with sending aid to Egypt when the MB was in power

Cruz is right. However, the supposition that the attacks were initiated by pro-Assad forces is very suspect. In the first place, Assad has nothing to gain and all to lose by launching these attacks. And secondly, there are reports that the attacks were funded by the Saudis and carried by Al Queda rebel groups.
But, I think it’s worse. I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole thing was concocted by the ‘evil geniuses’ in the 0bama administration with the sickest ideas coming from our nut-job evil dictator.

Yes but the Bushes waltzed, and Obama is doing a jig like a monkey with a live hand grenade.

The Bushes’ travesty was to let Arab money invade our instututions of higher learning and medical research, and become dependent on it.

Obama’s travesty is to ignite a war which will destroy Israel, while simultaneously maintaining a high world price for oil and gas ( usinig environmental concerns and regulations established by executive order.)

US foreign policy has always had to contend with rogue, nut-job dictators. The problem is, this time the rogue, nut- job dictator resides in the White House.

No one is more "exactly right" than Ted Cruz.

But, are there enough people LISTENING and willing to DO SOMETHING?
