And THINK how Egypt would be if Hillary had her way. Mohammed Morsi would be in charge. Notice how NO ONE in the media questions her on her BFF relationship with Morsi???

I respect Egypt. They took it upon themselves to take their country back from the MB and their enablers 0blama/Hillary.

Cruz is right. Saddam and Assad slaughtered Isis animals for sport.

Taking out Saddam and weakening Assad unleashed the beast that brought terrorism to San Bernardino.

Another Saddam will have to be found to stabilize the middle east and keep Isis in check.

I thought we had warning. We just didn’t act on them.

Under Hussein, Assad and Gahdafi or how ever you spell it Christians could live in peace and the middle east was more secure.

This foreign policy has been a cluster F@@@ of the highest order and the establishment wants to carry it on, while the left have no idea what to do except take out people with drones.

Why?

Iraq, Syria, and Libya could have Christians living in some peace, the mad muslims were controlled, and there was stability.

Now fairy boy has caused this mess in those 3 countries. Iraq was controlled until the fairy ordered us out.
Libya is a total mess.
Syria has gone to crap.

Europe now is in a mess.

Iraq has been a headache (with brief holidays) ever since America invaded in 2003, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that it was a headache before America invaded, too. Here’s a trip down memory lane. Saddam Hussein ...

- waged a long war with Iran during the ‘80s

- invaded Kuwait

- developed and used chemical weapons

- funded Palestinian attacks on Israel

- built a nuclear reactor (bombed by Israel)

- shot at American military planes patrolling the no-fly zones established after Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait

- attacked Israel with Scud missiles

- openly celebrated 9/11

- plotted to assassinate a former US president

This man did not create security in the Middle East, or even stability.

0blama clearing a path for ISIS and the Caliphate. 0blama's passion for suddenly bombing Libya without Congress' consent was a HUGE clue. Our withdrawal from Iraq AND ANNOUNCING HOW AND WHEN was another clue. Oblama/Hillary fomenting the Arab Spring in Egypt and calling for the ouster of OUR ALLY MUBARAK WHILE COZYING UP TO MOHAMMED MORSI was another clue. The growth of the ISIS cancer without any REAL attempt to STOP them is another HUGE clue. Remember all those convoys of shiny new trucks that didn't get bombed? ISIS is STILL holding photo sessions of their large groups outside WITHOUT ANY WORRIES, well maybe the Russians perhaps.

Bush got conned by the NWO cabal into overthrowing Saddam. That was the start of the NWO/U.N. plot to grow the Caliphate and eventually the start of ISIS. Unfortunately Bush didn't realize it at the time.

Yes, he did and even before that.

Cruz is stealing from Trump, yet again.

Yes, Cruz said that, but he is always purloining things that Trump has said and/or written long ago. He’s a johnny-come-lately, who doesn’t have a bright thought of his own.

re Saddam Hussein: except for that whole large-scale armed robbery, and threatening to do the same for the whole Arabian Peninsula, in 1990. Tell me there would have been an upside to letting him do that.

By the way, “Cruz or Lose”. I just have no illusions of his perfection, or even his .80% alignment with my opinions.
