U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, spoke frankly with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly On October 9, 2014 regarding the stratagem the Obama Administration has taken to combat ISIS saying:
“Unfortunately, what we have seen in six years of the Obama-Clinton-Kerry foreign policy has been a foreign policy that seems to focus on photo-ops and press releases, but not on concrete military objectives that are tied to our national security.
“Our objective here should be to take ISIS out, but instead this seems to be a campaign driven by political operatives and political mandates in the White House, rather than clear military objectives.”

Note: ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is a Sunni, anti-Shi’ist, radical Islamic extremist terrorist organization in Iraq and Syria in the Middle East This group was the forerunner of Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn—commonly known as al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). It took part in the Iraqi insurgency against American-led forces and their Iraqi allies following the 2003 invasion of Iraq and joined other Sunni insurgent groups to form the Mujahideen Shura Council, which consolidated further into the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) shortly afterwards.
The Islamic State rose to power as part of a covertly funded and supported effort by the United States to unleash terrorism and violence in Syria and prolong the bloody civil war with the aim of toppling the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad.
