GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz said Tuesday that Donald Trump was engaging in a "pre-emptive surrender" to Islamic terror by calling for a "withdrawal" from NATO on the eve of the Brussels terror attacks.

On Monday, Trump told CNN that the U.S. should greatly reduce its support of NATO.

"It's too much and frankly it's a different world than it was when we originally conceived of the idea," Trump said of the US-European security alliance.

Cruz said he found it "striking" that the terror attacks occurred on the day after his rival candidate Donald Trump called for reducing the U.S. role NATO.

"We see Brussels where NATO is headquartered as the subject of a radical Islamic terrorist attack," Cruz said in a press conference from Washington D.C.

"Donald Trump is wrong that America should withdraw from the world and abandon our allies. Donald Trump is wrong that America should retreat from Europe, retreat from NATO, hand Vladimir Putin a major victory, and while's he's at it, hand ISIS a major victory."

Nothing classier than Calgary Ted dancing in the blood of the victims to score political points. Go Cruz, back to Canada!

You are right on.

What a low life you are Ted Cruz.

You may have eyes and ears, but you sure as hell aren’t using them.

Good day.

In case you aren’t aware of FReeper etiquette, when someone says “good day” that means they are done.

I have absolutely no inclination to further engage someone who has so little regard for truth or facts that they only rely on juvenile blather.

GOOD DAY!!!

Never held a private sector job, graduated from Harvard, constitutional scholar, lawyer, junior senator, foreign born, hides his real name, hid his nationality during his senate run, repeatedly failed to vote as senator, and immediately began seeking the office of president once elected.

I think Teddy is losing his marbles, too much Beck time or Romney/Bush/Graham influence. THIS was a very juvenile statement for him to make, he shrinks more by the day.

Just so you know GGG, I’m spreading info far and wide about Teddy and Beck, this illusion that a white horse prophesy and Ted is the savior, needs to be exposed.

Get a hold of your guy, he’s making an a** out of himself with this crap.
