Ted Cruz - The World is on Fire, America should be a voice for freedom

The second step of the Cruz foreign-policy plan is presenting a clear vision for the deployment of US military force. Cruz accused Obama and Hillary Clinton — the president's former secretary of state and likely Democratic frontrunner in 2016 — of being focused on press releases, photo-ops, and "international norms" rather than national security.
"The second critical element is resolutely defending US national security. The singular failure of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy has been a failure to focus on the vital national security interests of the United States," Cruz said. " If and when we have to [use force], it should be with a clear, stated objective up front. We should go in with overwhelming force and then we should get the heck out. It is not the job of our military to produce democratic utopias across the world."

So how do you suppose Ted feels about deploying the 101st Airborne - the Screaming Eagles, heroes of Bastogne - to West Africa to fight Ebola?

I think he is for it based on previous statements.

Can anybody argue against this? The guy who summed it up best was the White House official who suggested our enemies would be intimidated by our sexual/racial military diversity.

National security is an afterthought with this bunch.

Did we ever figure out what we were doing with our kinetic humanitarian bombing in Libya?

Isn't this what allowed ISIS to fester?

Tell that to the Bush administration.
He's a moron. He needs to just filibuster for 20 hours with Cat in the Hat references and leave politics to anybody else.

Honestly the Obama administration has kept our national security interests pretty well focused.
quote:This sounds like he totally agrees with getting out of Iraq and would favor leaving Afghanistan as soon as possible too. How would this be any different than Obama?

This may be the first time I've ever agreed with anything Ted Cruz has said.
