I don’t see any where he said Rubio was to blame for Benghazi.
Paragraph 8.
Sorry, Paragraph 8 and 9.
I don’t see anywhere he said Rubio was to blame for Benghazi.
********************************************************************************
Well, he didn’t say Rubio was to “blame” for Benghazi, but he certainly CORRECTLY pointed out that Rubio supported & encouraged the ill-conceived Clinton/Obama policies that led to Benghazi. And, for that, Rubio SHARES in the blame for Benghazi IMHO.
I think this is one of the reasons the GOPe does not want the likes of Trump and/or Cruz to be President. I believe some of the them such as McCain are deeply involved and want to keep their involvement a secret. They don’t want the exposure.
Question is, how many are there? Probably Linda Graham is more than likely one.
He said Rubio supported the Libyan regime change, “a foreign policy blunder”, which led to Benghazi.
“The reason he sounds so Paul-ish in attacking Rubio today is, I think, simply because he’s eager to put Rubio back on defense on FP. Rubio accused him of weakening the country by backing the USA Freedom Act, now Cruz is giving him both barrels in reply by claiming that Rubio, in enabling Obama’s and Hillary’s disastrous intervention in Libya, weakened the country to the point where it left an ambassador vulnerable to murder. That’s excellent politics given the prominence that Benghazi has on the right as a signature Hopenchange failure. “
Until I see a quote from Cruz, I am not believing the headline. Sorry.
There are several powerful Senators and Congressmen praying to keep this covered up as they were aware of the arms deals. The arms being used by ISIS now came from deals cut by Obama/Hillary in Benghazi. The CIA was involved.
- Ted Cruz
Rubio wanted a fight with Cruz over national security. Well, he’s got one.
Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
“Senator Rubio emphatically supported Hillary Clinton in toppling [Muammar] Qaddafi in Libya. I think that made no sense,” Cruz told Bloomberg Politics in a wide-ranging and exclusive interview during a campaign swing through Iowa. He argued that the 2011 bombings that toppled the Libyan leader didn’t help the fight against terrorists. “Qaddafi was a bad man, he had a horrible human rights record. And yet, he had become a significant ally in fighting radical Islamic terrorism.”
“The terrorist attack that occurred in Benghazi was a direct result of that massive foreign policy blunder,” Cruz said during a drive eastward from a town-hall event near Iowa City to another in the town of Clinton.
Yup. Benghazi was the Uniparty arming proto-Isis.
I think what he’s saying is, that we need to stay the heck out of the Syrian Civil war. I agree. It has been the Hillary/Obama policy that has supplied the arms.
Damn straight they do. I’ve said all along that guys like Graham and McCain are just as guilty as Obama and Clinton.
Yup, anyone who has paid any real attention knew this was the Ted Cruz stance.
Pick our wars based on our own national interests and don’t arm every ally of the moment.
I don’t like the neocon bs. Not one bit. Islamic nuts can only be dealt with in one way. By killing them where they live and keeping them so busy staying alive that it is difficult for them to hatch schemes to attack America. If Cruz is going the Pat Buchanan route I may have to reevaluate my support for him.
So, you think we need to get involved in Syria? Obama and Hillary have already provided ISIS with arms. That is what Benghazi was all about, arms trading.
