From cartoonist Clay Jones about ‘Until Sand Glows in the Dark,’ Ted Cruz’s plan to carpet bomb ISIS, and other ISIS recruitment tools
Ted Cruz says if he’s elected president, he’ll carpet bomb ISIS until sand glows in the dark. I know Senator Cruz loves portraits of himself, but does he own carpet? Does he know how it works? He says he’ll avoid bombing cities with his carpet bombing, as he’ll only bomb where ISIS is located. If he can take his own head out of the sand (or a certain part of his anatomy) then maybe he’ll realize ISIS is in Mosul, Ramadi, Raqqa, Fallujah, and Hawija. Those, Senator Cruz, are cities.
Donald Trump promises he’ll “bomb the bleep out of them” and plans to put hits on terrorists’ families. Marco Rubio wants to insert ground troops. Chris Christie says we’re in World War III, and in case war with ISIS doesn’t bring Armageddon fast enough, he’ll take pot shots at Russian planes. Lindsey Graham says he misses George W. Bush and wishes he was still president. On top of all that, they’re waging a campaign that we’re at war with Islam. This is the kind of stuff that’s music to the ears of ISIS, and they use it to recruit new fighters.
The funny and scary thing is all of these candidates’ solutions to destroy ISIS are the very things that created ISIS.
These candidates claim they want to defeat ISIS. Maybe they’ll actually help with that after providing recruiting material for future ISIS newsletters.
