Well, Ted, I might vote for you if need be...then again with that kinda wishy washy response not so sure now...

A negative is that Cruz is still finding his independent, informed voice on foreign affairs. I'm not sure arming the Kurds without "boots on the ground" is a good idea. What if ISIS gets ahold of them? What if the Kurds use those arms against Turkey in their quest for an independent state? I'm not sure that Cruz has enough expertise on foreign affairs to have a policy.
One good point made in the show was by a general, I think. It's that arms are being sent to Iraq to get them to the Kurds, and the Kurds aren't getting enough of them.
This is all Alice-in-Wonderland stuff. The premise that Saudi Arabia is our friend and Assad should be forced out of power is way beyond having any good conclusion.
Did you read the article? Ted says that there is no need to use our troops for now because the Kurdish Peshmerga is doing the job, and that we should further arm them. Only if they would fail would we need boots on the ground.
I agree with him. Let the Kurds do the job. I’m no isolationist, but why should we send our sons, and daughters over to fight again, and die again if we don’t have to?
There you have it - Cruz won't put his foot in his mouth by making a definitive statement about something that is sure to morph by the time he actually has an opportunity to actually make the decision and he is "wishy-washy" and not fit to be put into the seat that would give him the option to take action. Gosh we be smarties here.
