Ted Cruz's ISIS strategy is dangerously Absurd: US General

Due to their utter lack of comprehensive domestic policies more sophisticated than lowering taxes on the wealthy and giving outrageous handouts to multinational corporations, Republican presidential candidates have fought to make foreign policy the central issue of this election cycle. Forced to resort to fear-mongering about the threat of a terrorist group two continents away and riling up conservative voters with paranoid doomsday prophecies, they are desperately trying to exploit a false narrative that Democrats are “weak” when it comes to foreign policy and dealing with Daesh (ISIS/ISIL). 

But when one listens to the jingoistic bravados spouted off by Republican presidential candidates, it becomes increasingly obvious that the Republican plan for dealing with the Islamic State is entirely divorced from reality. Consider, the instance, the words of firebrand religious extremist Sen.Ted Cruz (R-TX). A man despised by all except the most devout of evangelical voters, Cruz failed to attend a Wednesday Senate hearing titled “U.S. Strategy to Counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and U.S. Policy Toward Iraq and Syria.”
