As tensions in Syria continue mounting, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said President Barack Obama needs to be focused on how chemical weapons can be used against the United States and our allies, and stop acting as if the country is “arm-in-arm” with oppressive Islamist governments.
Cruz appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” on Monday night, discussing the ongoing violence in Syria and President Obama’s unwillingness to intervene. In addition to asserting Obama’s hesitation to seek Congress’s approval for military intervention in Syria, Cruz said the United States is quickly gaining a reputation for working with oppressive Islamic governments instead of protecting allies.
“Of nine major rebel groups, seven of them may well have some significant ties to al-Qaeda. … What would be truly dangerous for the United States, for our allies like Israel and Jordan, is for a radical Islamc government to seize control of those chemical weapons and to deploy them against us or our allies,” Cruz said. “That should be the focus of the President.
“…It was striking when the protests were occurring in Egypt against the Muslim Brotherhood that the protesters were waving banners that said ‘President Obama supports Morsi, the United States supports the radical Islamic government that’s oppressing us.’ What a sad state of affairs when the United States is arm-in-arm with oppressive Islamist governments.”
