Sen. Cruz Says US Military Should Not Be "Al Qaeda's Air Force"

Believes Obama's attempt to get Congress to authorize military action in Syria is a public relations move

Sen. Ted Cruz called President Barack Obama's efforts to authorize military intervention in Syria a public relations move, saying the U.S. military shouldn't be "Al Qaeda's air force."

The Texas Republican said Tuesday on TheBlaze that while he's glad the president listened to calls from him and others to bring the issue to Congress, America shouldn't get involved and risk helping terrorists in the rebel forces.
