Sen. Ted Cruz on the U.S. Role in the Middle East | The Daily Signal (Video)
TED CRUZ: The policy of military adventurism, and trying to promote democracy, hurts U.S. national security, and it helps radical Islamic terrorists.

A week or so back Dana Perrino even suggested that ISIS in control of Syria might be preferable.
These people are insane.
The Assad family and its infrastructure, in charge of Syria is better than any possible alternative.
Better to have a loudmouth drunk next door than an ever rotating pack of crack and meth heads.
That’s the plan.
Now, Mr. Ambassador, my dear friend Hillary assured me that you have nothing to worry about over security ......
Since they all think so highly of Islam, including its radical so-called “branches” ( which are merely the truest, closest interpretation of the Koran), why in the world don’t they take their families and go live under it?
That is precisely why Hussein wants to topple Assad.
They are doing the next best thing- bringing Islam and shariah here.
"If we want to actually dismantle ISIS, we need to dramatically change course. We need a real, robust campaign that maximizes our overwhelming air advantage.
We need to focus our efforts not on trying to create friends, but on supporting our real ones, especially the Kurds in Iraq and Syria who have actually had success against ISIS."

"We can redouble our efforts to develop the defensive weapons that neutralized the offensive Soviet threat -- particularly missile defense, which has seen a 25% budget reduction under Obama, according to an analysis from the conservative Heritage Foundation, and has been constrained by bad arms deals like New START.
We should not only move quickly to install the canceled interceptor sites Putin opposed in Poland and the Czech Republic, but also to develop the next generation of systems that will only increase his discomfiture.
These options do not entail a ground war in Syria, yet would effectively shake us free from the failed policies that have brought us to our current impasse.
These options set us on a new path that puts Putin on notice that the United States is reclaiming our traditional role as leader of the free world."

"I think it would be a mistake to get involved in the Syrian civil war. There have been voices in Washington eager for us to send our sons and daughters over to fight that civil war for some time. I haven't been one of them. I think the touchstone of U.S. military policy should be protecting the national security of this country."
"What we're seeing Putin in Russia do is a direct response to the profound weakness of Obama over six and a half years.
Putin views Obama as weak, as ineffective, and frankly, as a laughingstock. And, as a result, he is moving in, he is invading his neighbors, like Ukraine, he's kidnapping Estonians, and he's moving into Syria to gain a stronger foothold in the Middle East."

Ted Cruz:
"We need a coherent plan to address both the specific crisis in Syria and the challenge posed more broadly by Putin's resurgent Russia.
The good news is that America still has options, if our leaders can summon the will to exercise them.
For starters, in Syria we can't double down on the failed strategies that have given Putin his opportunity to intervene.
We are now two years out from President Obama's proposed intervention after al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. ..."

True. I know leftists aren’t renowned for their grasp of logic, but I can’t figure out how they reconcile their support of Islam and their support of homosexuality and the million other things supposedly proscribd by Islam, which leftists support.
I would hate to see, and that’s putting it mildly, even one patriotic American fall into the hands of ISIS. What they did to that Jordanian pilot wouldn’t begin to compare to what they would do to any American serviceman they captured.
They think all the bad stuff away. Those among them who are just after the power believe they can use Islam to destroy the opposition and then control Islam. Communists and practical Moslems think the same way about each other.
That’s true, each believes that it’s just using the other group, but the antichrist will have last laugh on all of them, empowered by Satan.
Now, that impresses me. I’ll buy that.
Yeah, if I were captured by those animals I would want a Jdam dropped on my head to kill me and as many of those animals as possible.
Cruz is the serious candidate with understanding and principle.
