Cruz Quotes LeMay

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) shared with a gathering of conservatives his answer to the ISIS problem, according to a Fox News story (with video) on his speech:
They want to go back and reject modernity. Well, I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the Stone Age.
As COTTonLINE readers know, the "bomb them back to the Stone Age" line is usually attributed to Air Force General Curtis LeMay, who headed the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the early Cold War. I daresay LeMay would have approved Ted C. borrowing it in the ISIS context.
