DES MOINES, Iowa -- Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz on Saturday said that the terrorist bloodbath in Paris underscored the failures of President Obama's anti-war stance and his timid foreign policy.
"He may be tired of war, but our enemies are not tired of killing us and they are getting stronger," Mr. Cruz said on Fox News.
He said the terrorist attacks in Paris Friday, which killed at least 129 people and wounded 352, was the latest example of how every conflict in the world has gotten worse under the foreign policy of Mr. Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is the leading candidate for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.
"We need a commander-in-chief who says, 'We will defeat radical Islamic terrorism,' " said Mr. Cruz, later adding that Mr. Obama "will not even utter the words 'radical Islamic terrorism.' So he's not setting out to defeat them."
The blistering critique of the Obama administration's fight against the the terrorist army known as Islamic State, which has taken credit for the Paris massacre, served as a preview of questions Mrs. Clinton could face her in a candidate's debate here later Saturday.

Good statement by Cruz.
We really need Cruz to win. People are responding to him more and more.
thank God we have a republican presidential candidate that isn’t blaming george bush.
So very true. Cruz has criticized Bush in the past — rightly as far as I’m concerned — but this one is squarely on Barry and his ilk.
Go Senator Cruz!
The Europeans didn’t want a cowboy President in the U.S.
I wonder how they’re liking the horse’s ass we have now.
I’d guess much of Europe doesn’t see a connection. The version of news they get is highly skewed in favor of Barry and his ilk.
After these two’s deflection election shenanigans trying to ram the Benghazi video narrative LIE down my and your throat then they went double down so far as to do a apology commercial on foreign enemy TV. Everybody knew that Benghazi was terrorist attack from the gitgo just like fort Hood.
