Ted Cruz hasn't made me support hitting Syria, but

[cthulu2016]

he's doing his best to do so by his reasoning in opposing it. His analysis is two part...

1) Syria isn't threatening us so we cannot use military force against Syria'

2) Obama has "allowed Assad to slaughter over 100,000 of his people."


This might be the worst, "Thanks, Obama!" yet. The two "points" are impossible to square. The only way it makes sense is if Obama prevented Syria from threatening the USA, thereby making it impossible for Obama to intervene to save those 100,000 people. Or something. Seriously... the more times you read it the worse it gets.

I give it 5 WTFs.

“The United States Armed Forces doesn’t exist to be a policeman for the world and I certainly hope the reaction isn’t lobbing some cruise missiles in to disagree with Assad’s murderous actions,” Cruz said on Fox News.

“The focus should be the only justifiable reason for U.S. military forces to be engaged is to protect our national security and sadly, that has been the missing variable from this administration’s approach from the beginning as they allowed Assad to slaughter over 100,000 of his people," he added.

1. A lot of all the wrong people are for it, too.

Joe Lieberman, Karl Rove, Bill Kristol, Paul Bremer...

Daily Caller, is that Tucker's rag? If so, I'm sorry I linked to it, but it was the first to come up in the Google search.

Tim Pawlenty, Norm Coleman...

But Cruz's THANKS OBAMA is foul even for him. Instead of cruise missiles for Syria, let's lob tomatoes at Cruz.

2. Maybe they were all American citizens?

Only way that quote makes any sense.
