Cruz: ‘Our Focus Should Be Killing ISIS’ Not Assad

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

SCARBOROUGH: "Let’s talk about it and do you deal with the Russians, help keep isad or one of isad’s people in place and focus your fire power on ISIS? I’ve long been a proponent of the doctrine but you have to know when it’s time to go in and if it’s not now time to go in after ISIS."
CRUZ: "Yes, absolutely yes. My view instead of getting in the in the middle of a civil war in Syria, our focus should be on killing ISIS. Why? ISIS has declared war on America. 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 and when we put them in power we were told in Libya the rebels were these moderate rebels and we’re repeating those mistakes and instead our focus needs to be on doing everything necessary to utter will I defeat ISIS."
