Wouldn’t you think that someone whose father was investigated for terrorist related activities would also be on a watch list?

The whole family should be deported, their property confiscated and proceeds should got to the victim’s families.

Seems that two day later claim that they knew all about it didn’t wash too well in previous incidents.

Send the local Imam to Gitmo, raze the mosque and strongly the rest of the community move to Mexico.

Send the local Imam to Gitmo, raze the mosque and strongly suggest that the rest of the community move to Mexico, pronto...

[DoodleDawg]

OK...so who do we declare war on?

[Biggirl]

Keep preaching the truth! This is an act of war!

[conservativejoy]

Works for me. An Act of Love to Mehico. :)

That’s not what the OP was saying. Broadly calling for war is one thing; starting proceedings for formal declaration thereof is another.

I wouldn’t want an otherwise sensible* candidate calling for war if he can’t articulate the actionable details (objective answers to: war against who? what constitutes victory? what price are we willing to pay to achieve it?).

(* - “sensible”: you may not like Trump, but as an extremely successful businessman he knows how to get things done. You may not like Walker, but he’s been an effective governor. I’d expect vapid calls to action come from the likes of Hillary or Bernie.)

Ted, obama just gave the Iranians nuclear weapons. You think he cares about what happened here in America?

[SoConPubbie]

Ted, obama just gave the Iranians nuclear weapons. You think he cares about what happened here in America?

Where do you read he "cares" what Obama thinks?

Ted is trying to solve the problem, not play politics.

[VerySadAmerican]

Mr. Cruz, Islam, not radical Islam, but just plain Islam is at war with the U.S. Say that out loud and I’ll get excited.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

The man is right on the money.

[MaxMax]

They won't admit Islam is the problem because we have Islam infiltrated in DC, openly.
There's also Islamist in this administration who are a danger to national
security, and more.

This administration needs to be fully investigated into who knows what and which
information has been tweeted out of our nations capitol. Treason.

Were any of those Marines Black by chance?

[RKBA Democrat]

Nicely done by cruz. Credit where credit is due.

[MeshugeMikey]

GO TED!!

[Lazamataz]

Jeb Bush to respond: “This was an act of love!”

[MN_Mike]

Ted is right. He is the only one to have guts enough to say it like it is.

Bill Clinton inaction led to 9-11-2001
Obama inaction is resulting in Homeland attacks

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Yes!

[sefarkas]

Declaration of war against whom? Generally, the laws are set up to battle nation-states.

It is like when the first bomb goes off. It will take them weeks to trace back the signature of the source material.

If the American’s did not nuke someone randomly on 12Sep2001, it'll never happen.

[Forty-Niner]

Islam is NOT a religion, it is a regressive political system practiced in many countries to the exclusion of other genuine religions.

Declare war on Islam, the people in the US that practice it, and the nations of the world subjugated by it. Take them out 1 by 1. Start here with the Chattanooga mosque...move on to the NYC “victory” mosque.

Islam is NOT a religion. Mosques are training/indoctrination centers for this cancerous political/social system.

Three words.......
