Cruz is just a disaster and Trump is biggest idiot.. If they had a show called the biggest idiot, Trump would be the host.

I popped on CNN yesterday while I was getting ready for my bike ride and caught Cruz talking on the CNN town hall thing. He said something along the lines of.... "During the Iraq war in 1990 we flew thousands of sorties a day, but currently we are only flying hundreds of sorties against ISIS. We should be attacking their bases and convoys". It was painfully obvious that Cruz doesn't understand the difference between the Iraqi military in 1990 and modern day ISIS.
With the Iraqi Military, they had millions of men under arms - 4th largest standing army in the world in 1990 if I recall correctly - and had countless targets to go after... Bases, depots, communication hubs, ammo storage, barracks, training facilities, and such. We knew were they were for years, and because of our intel in the area we knew all of their back plans - where they would fall back to if attacked.
With ISIS we have NONE of that. They do not have bases, and live scattered in with civilians. They don't have tanks; They have pick up trucks - we cannot target Toyota pick up trucks.
It's scary that someone in Congress fails to understand the difference between fighting a modern army and a large terrorist group.
