Ted Cruz On Syria: U.S. Shouldn't Be 'Al Qaeda's Air Force'

[FarCenter]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) spoke out Tuesday against President Barack Obama's resolution to authorize a military strike against Syria, warning that the United States should not become "Al Qaeda's air force."

“We certainly don’t have a dog in the fight,” Cruz said during an appearance on TheBlaze Radio. “We should be focused on defending the United States of America. That’s why young men and women sign up to join the military, not to, as you know, serve as Al Qaeda’s air force.”

The same phrasing was used by Former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) in an interview with The Hill last week.

"So what, we're about to become Al Qaeda's air force now?" Kucinich said. "This is a very, very serious matter that has broad implications internationally. And to try to minimize it by saying we're just going to have a 'targeted strike' -- that's an act of war. It's not anything to be trifled with."

Even if he is against the action, he's against if for different reasons than I am.
