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.

Ted Cruz Ping! If you’re trying to say something, get honest and simply say it.
Don’t accuse me of “vitriol” by implication, when there was none.
If a politician speaks of an “act of war,” a military response should follow. What would Cruz or any other politician do as a military response to Gaza, after a Palestinian terrorist killed American servicemen?
What leaders of what political party here have ordered our forces to bomb Iran? None. Not only that, but I voted for Bush and his father before him. Even enlisted during his father’s Administration. During Bush Jr.’s Administration, Gates was appointed. Gates rejected the idea of bombing Iran and then later pushed for more homosexuals in our military forces.
There are no friends of Israel among leaders in the nations.
Why did Obama not order flags at half-staff after Chattanooga?
lets apply Heinleins Razor:
“Never attribute to malice, what can be explained by stupidity....but dont rule out malice”
The victims didnt fit the desired racial or economic profile.
You get an A plus.
