Carpet bombing, also known as saturation bombing, is a large aerial bombing done in a progressive manner to inflict damage in every part of a selected area of land.[1][2][3][4] The phrase evokes the image of explosions completely covering an area, in the same way that a carpet covers a floor. Carpet bombing is usually achieved by dropping many unguided bombs.
The term obliteration bombing is sometimes used to describe especially intensified bombing with the intention of destroying a city or a large part of the city.[5] The term area bombing refers to indiscriminate bombing of an area,[5] and also encompasses cases of carpet bombing, including obliteration bombing. It was used in that sense especially during World War II.[5] Carpet bombing is considered a war crime[6] as of the 1977 Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions.

Has Canada ever carpet bombed anyone?
I thought it was something teenage couples did!
Well, like most words and phrases, the legal definition and the common can differ.
Yes, Germany during WWII.
Cool, I need to brush up on that.
Donald Trump said he knows carpet because he only uses the best carpet, wonderful carpet, beautiful carpet in his buildings and he could get the carpet to bomb with at wholesale because he’s rich and he knows people that know everything there is to know about carpet and Ted Cruz doesn’t know anything about carpet to bomb with.
Cruz doesn’t know the meaning of “carpet bombing”:

Says carpet bombing means bombing “not a city, but the location of the troops,” with “embedded special forces to direct the air power.”
— Ted Cruz on Tuesday, December 15th, 2015 in a Republican presidential debate in Las Vegas
He also misused it tonight.
Unless he poll tested the phrase and is intentionally misusing it, he needs to say what he means.
Really? Then I just have to admit that I am completely naive! I thought that carpet bombing is something tangentially related to carpet muncher! ;-)
You are definitely over the target. Bombs away!
So you fear for the safety of Islamic State under a Cruz administration?
