Ted Cruz Warns Obama, Clinton & Rubio: "You'll Repeat History & ISIS will take over Syria"

By Elizabeth Nelson

Senator Cruz is watching and warning Obama, Clinton and Senator Marco Rubio that they are about to repeat history and offer up Syria on a gold tray for ISIS.  We've all heard and seen it, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."  It doesn't matter what the "same thing" is, whether it's trying to repeat a failed gun ban from 1994-2004 or removing a country's dictator, believing that our intervention will magically "make the world safer." 

"Kill Moammar Gaddafi," they said.

"The world will be a safer place without him."  They said

So Obama bombed Libya and killed the "evil" dictator with Clinton and Rubio's support and look at Libya now.  The loss of the dictator caused a vacuum and something had to step into fill that void, why not al Qaeda at the time.  Now something even more evil is in control of Libya, with Gaddafi out of the way and unable to stop it. Hillary is still being effected by it, she lost her "good friend," Ambassador Christopher Stephens and three heroic men in an unstable Benghazi. 

Libya, a largely tribal nation, descended into chaos after Gaddafi’s fall, with two governments vying for power and armed groups battling for control of its vast energy resources.

A militia alliance including Islamists overran Tripoli in August 2014, establishing a rival government and a parliament that forced the internationally recognized administration to flee to eastern Libya.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the Islamic State group has gained a foothold in Libya and people-smugglers are again ferrying illegal migrants from its shores to Europe on rickety boats and contributing to thousands of deaths.   Read more Africa Cradle

Obama only caused a Civil war, within Libya, leading up to the killing of our men on the anniversary of 9/11 and you read that right, as of 10 days ago, Libya became ISIS' latest stronghold. It gets better,  Obama, Hillary and Senator Marco Rubio (the same people who voted to topple Gaddafi) now want to do the same thing to Syria.  

Obama's definition of insanity, remove Assad like he did Gaddafi, what could go wrong, it'll turn out different this time.  Of course, Senator Cruz is warning that ISIS will take over Syria if Assad isn't there to prevent it, just as they did Lybia.


"Arm the Syrian Opposition and Overthrow Assad," they said.

"This will make America Safer," they said.

Instead of getting into the middle of Syria's civil war, the United States' focus should be on killing ISIS, GOP candidate Ted Cruz said on Wednesday, and that doesn't mean taking out Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"ISIS has declared war on America," the Texas Republican said during an extensive interview with MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough. "We shouldn't be trying to find these mythical moderate rebels. We keep being told they're going to exist and they turn out to all be jihadist. We were told in Libya the rebels were these moderate rebels and we're repeating those mistakes."

But toppling Assad would be a mistake, he insisted.

"[President] Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and people like Sen. [Marco] Rubio have not learned the lessons of Libya and Egypt, because what are they trying to do? Topple Assad," Cruz said.

The Syrian leader is a "bad man and a monster," conceded Cruz, but if he is taken out, "ISIS will take over Syria and it will be worse."

No one is denying that Assad is a bad man. However, ISIS isn't threatening to cut off his head or fly their flag over his nation's capital, like they are Obama.  We don't see them taunting Assad and the Syrian people like they are Obama and the American people.  No, they are giving him a wide-birth and they listen when he speaks.

Cruz commented that about a year ago, a foreign minister from the Middle East told him that it is "very hard to be friends with America right now," which "hurts to hear, but it is the reality of it. " Read more Newsmax

Obama has taken us so far backwards, it's going to take a strong President and a long time for us rebound from the damage he's done.  Our enemies don't fear us, our allies don't trust us and our nation has forgotten what decade we live in.  We have a cold war to refreeze, a civil unrest and "women's liberation movement" that needs to be put back in the 60s and 70s. Maybe then we can all start focusing on what's really important, instead of which lives are important, based on skin color or the body parts below our belt buckle.

At least Senator Cruz has learned from our history, even our mistakes.  This is the kind of leader need, someone who will learn from our history and not repeat it. 

"The enemy of my enemy isn't necessarily my friend." However, we have learned from our past that it's safer for America to, "keep our friends close and our enemies closer."  It's not the dagger in the hand that you see coming, but the one that slips between your shoulder blades in your back, from that hand of your friend you didn't see that takes your life.

Life is full of unexpected surprises. Learn from your mistakes and when someone shows you who they are, believe them - don't make mistakes for their bad behavior and poor choices.
