Cruz in Iowa ad: ‘We’ll kill the terrorists’

Ted Cruz: Rebuild Our Military, Kill the Terrorists (Video)

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Saturday is rolling out a series of TV ads in Iowa, including one aimed at bolstering his credentials to fight terrorism if elected president.

The ads will debut during the Big Ten Championship between Michigan State and Iowa.

"If I'm elected to serve as Commander-in-Chief, we won't cower in the face of evil. America will lead," Cruz says directly into the camera. "We'll rebuild our military. We'll kill the terrorists. And every Islamic extremist will know, if you wage jihad against us, you're signing your death warrant."

The ad is particularly timely as law enforcement is investigating Wednesday's San Bernardino, Calif., shootings as an act of terrorism.

Cruz and rival presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) have recently exchanged national security jabs after Cruz supported a National Security Agency reform bill this year, which is touted by privacy advocates but opposed by some Republicans who believe it will weaken U.S. intelligence activities.

Cruz also debuted a second ad touting an endorsement from Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa).

Ahead of the Iowa caucuses in February, Cruz ranks third in GOP presidential polls in the Hawkeye State, trailing Donald Trump and Ben Carson.

Cruz's camp said the ads are part of a six-figure media buy in the state. Broadcast disclosure forms show they will run until at least Dec. 18.

The extremists are the ones most closely following the instructions in their book and the example of their prophet.
Some would say the devout muslims.
The problem is Islam.
Mad Mo made it so.

I have backed Cruz from the beginning. Everytime he speaks I am more convicted that he is the best candidate.

Doesn’t he know the A.G. will arrest him for hate speech?

Thats it exactly! If someone claims be muslim, then back default the koran is their “holy book”. All the instructions on how to deal with “infidels” are in that book.

Ergo, anyone who claims to be muslim must be looked at as a danger to a free society, even if they claim to be peaceful. So ol’ mohammed next door may be ok one day and killing your family tomorrow.

The pc liberals have turned us scared stupid in a very dangerous time.

He’s going to kill them.

That’s music to my ears, good for him.

Good for America.

Now, if he could just figure out what to do with those who are already here illegally.

Thank God America is awakening.

Now, if he could just figure out what to do with those who are already here illegally.....Same thing. The legally here ones? Throw them out (including Valerie Jarrett) take their possessions and advise them they MAY be able to come back when the Islamic bastards have been killed off by them.

Use the strategy Colin Powell (in his best moment) outlined for the first Gulf War: “First we cut them off, then we kill them.”

I thought Powell’s plan was “first you drop your pants, then you bend over”

General norman schwarzkopf is the one who kicked butt in that war. But Powell was black and republican (or so he said) so it was deemed important to give him the credit so he could be pushed as a presidential candidate some day.

Cruz says “We’ll kill the terrorists”.

Will that be “Prince Vlad style” or “Judge Roy Bean Texas neck tie party style”? Either way is acceptable to me, but I’m just asking by what style will you kill them.
