Ted Cruz already knows the solution: A bombing campaign thats not afraid to kill innocent civilians.We must immediately recognize that our enemy is not violent extremism. It is the radical Islamism that has declared jihad against the west. It will not be appeased by outreach or declarations of tolerance. It will not be deterred by targeted airstrikes with zero tolerance for civilian casualties, when the terrorists have such utter disregard for innocent life.
Cruz did not specify where these airstrikes should take place or what they should be targeting.
Cruz also called for a halt to any plans to bring refugees that may have been infiltrated by ISIS to the United States. Previously, Cruz has misquoted U.S. intelligence officials to make the case against taking in Syrian refugees.
There is no evidence yet that any refugees were involved in the attacks.

Y'know, just in case there are some terrists on his block.

He would fit right in.

(23,730 posts)9. that's exactly IS's "Step 2b"--encourage crackdowns and mass overreaction
(of course targeted assassination is precisely what let AQ turn into IS)
