Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, made clear this weekend his foreign policy strategy for dealing with the militant group Islamic State: bomb them back to the Stone Age.
"They want to go back and reject modernity," he said. "Well, I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the Stone Age."
Cruz made his remarks Saturday in Dallas at a summit for Americans for Prosperity, the political arm of the billionaire GOP donors Charles and David Koch

They are already as uncivilized savages. Better solution is to just kill every one of them.
Carmel/Karnei Hittin/Megiddo - all have interesting history don’t they? I hadn’t intended anything artistically in that, but it does look like miniature mountains rather then simply rough terrain after all.
Better to have said “eliminate them all with extreme prejudice”.
Ted, you will be a great president you’ll be the Ronald Reagan of the 21st century.
Another interesting thought: maybe that’s why Obama has been so hot to intervene in Syria and overthrow Assad, which he meant to do last summer, and seems to be looking for a reason to do yet again.
In other words he wants to create an Iraq-like power vacuum in Syria for ISIS / Al Qaeda to move in, so they can take over Syria to add to their ME caliphate. The opinion at Judicial Watch is leaning in that direction. And may I also suggest that, being so sympathetic to Radical Islam, Zero has notions of being the head of the North American Caliphate, should it come to that. Perhaps he’s already pencilled in on their org charts.
Certainly the way Obama cut & run from Iraq threw open the doors to ISIS and the caliphate, as D’Souza projected in “2016”. We just didn’t see it coming in that specific form. But is that also why Obama has such a hard-on to see Assad taken down in Syria? Because Assad has also maintained a strong bulwark against Radical Islam (whom Obama characterizes as “rebels” but never specifies their cause)?
Point taken on the Kurds but IMHO that was a separate matter as far as Saddam Hussein was concerned. Either way, you’re right about them holding back ISIS in their region. They know which way the wind is blowing.
I used to share your opinion, but now it seems like that would just roll out the red carpet for ISIS to expand the caliphate.
If you get a big enough one, it kind of doesn't matter where. Transform the Eastern part of Syria and the western third of Iraq into a glass-topped, self lighting parking lot, and this ISIS stuff will end pretty quickly.
It would be really good to see a roster and ID of all muslims in the USA, and round them up for export. The zips are in the wire.
The Horns is what I thought of when I saw those little mountains. What appropriate symbolism it would make in this picture, even if you didn’t intend it so. Thanks for posting.
I agree with you. I see ISIS as a Turkish/State operation until the publicity got too bad. I'm not yet convinced I'm wrong.
State helped install Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and then started trying to bring down Assad almost immediately. I believe their clear intent was to ramp up the pressure on Israel dramatically. You remember the Turks have been threatening war if Israel stops them from running the blockade again. And the people involved with the Turks in running the blockade were, last time, Bill Ayers and wife.
