Pres. Candidate Cruz: Tennessee Attacks an 'Act of War'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/7/15 | Ari Yashar

epublican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has lashed out at US President Barack Obama for his handling of the lethal attacks on army sites in Chattanooga, Tennessee last Thursday, calling the shootings an "act of war."

Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, a Kuwaiti-born naturalized US citizen, went on a shooting rampage at a naval base and army recruiting station murdering five, with one victim dying on Saturday of his wounds. The Muslim shooter, who is the son of a Palestinian Arab who previously was on a terrorist watch list, had posted several cryptic Islamic messages before the attack and said he was upset about Gaza's condition.

Cruz made clear that Abdulazeez went to the army sites, before being killed in a gunfight with police, "to carry out jihad, an act of radical Islamic terrorism," in a statement published last Friday.

While Obama said that a "lone gunman" was responsible, Cruz responded: "we need to rid ourselves of two dangerous delusions, first and foremost that a ‘lone gunman’ - as President Obama described the shooter - is somehow isolated from the larger threat of radical Islamic terrorism."

“In the modern world, no one acts in isolation,” Cruz explained. “Through social media ISIS (Islamic State), Al Qaeda, and other groups are infiltrating our nation with impunity while our government will not even admit that radical Islamic terrorism is a problem.”

Cruz drew a parallel to the 2009 Fort Hood army base shooting in which Palestinian American Army Major Nidal Hasan murdered 13 and wounded 32, as well as an attack in Little Rock, Arkansas, the same year in which a Muslim gunman shot two soldiers in front of a recruiting station, murdering one and wounding the other.

"The Obama administration was woefully reluctant...

If it was an act of war, it is only the latest in a long chain going back to the assassination of Robert Kennedy by Sirhan Sirhan. Mr. Cruz, I hope you win in 2016, but be aware that nobody will ever wake up and smell the coffee. Your battle will be uphill for the foreseeable future.

And the US is fighting this war by STILL bringing in refugees from lands that breed terrorism?

par for the course. Every time somebody targets Randoms, and people say that, ‘oh, well, it’s only Randoms,’ they end up being targets themselves. For example, Nurmberg laws and Kristalnacht led to WW II. El Said Nosair shot Kahane, then became implicated in the plot to blow up New York, which led to the subsequent failed attempt to blow up the WTC, and then 9/11. Now the Palis are in America, gunning for Americans. When they say it’s only Random violence, get yourself a bullet-proof vest.

“An act of war?” If Cruz were president, he would refuse to bomb Gaza. Like the rest of his speeches, it’s only talk.

No, you can’t buy it, not even on e-bay, because the bidding would be too low.

Tingle running up your leg? There’s one running down my leg, and I gotta change pants.

Okay, this is true, but nobody cares about Obama. He has to tie it to Hillary. Like “This is the direct result of Hillary Clintons failed leadership at the State Department. She had 4 years to reign in the threat of Islamic terror and today it’s worse then ever thanks to her giving in to Islams demands”.

Give Ghaza to Egypt, pursuant to UN resolution. Here. Round up the MB scum that runs the place, and shoot them down like dogs.

As for Rand Paul, he would appeal more to anti-defense public school teachers, regulators and the like. Walker would de-fund them and send them home to be nice and quiet. On foreign policy, the first action should be the bombing of Iran.

BJ Clinton refused to acknowledge the ‘93 attack on the WTC as a terrorist attack. Years of denial later we got 9-11. We’re right back where we were.

“When they say it’s only Random violence, get yourself a bullet-proof vest.”.........

Does that mean that anyone who takes a shot or two at the POTUS, its only a “random” target? Perhaps odumbo wears a bullet-proof vest.

About that vitriol you're getting ready to post against your pro-life, pro-family conservative ally

Murdering Israelis is bad for your health.

We need to remind them that murdering Americans is bad for your health ...
