Ted Cruz on Iran Deal: There Will Be Blood.
by Breitbart News18 Jul 2015746
(excerpt)
From Matthew Fleming writing at Roll Call:
In case there was any doubt, which there probably wasn’t, Sen. Sen. Ted Cruz (R) Texas is not a fan of the Iran deal that President Barack Obama announced on Tuesday.
Indeed, he told CQ Roll Call Tuesday it will fund murder.
If the deal goes into effect, it “will result in the United States government becoming one of the leading funders of international terrorism,” and that “those American dollars will be used to murder Americans, to murder Israelis, to murder Europeans.”
The Texas Republican said a sensible commander in chief would demand that Iran disassemble all centrifuges, forfeit its enriched uranium, shut down its intercontinental ballistic missile program — which is solely to “carry a nuclear weapon to the U.S.” — and stop being the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Cruz called Obama’s speech announcing the deal “particularly shameful” for not mentioning Americans imprisoned in Iran — specifically Pastor Saeed Abedini, Marine veteran Amir Hekmati and journalist Jason Rezaian.

Well, if by “blood” you mean converted into radioactive ash...
Hey, it’s for your own good, to make the Earth sustainable. Per UN Agenda 21, 85% of the world population has to be eliminated, and we’ve gotta start SOMEWHERE!
Yeah, remember the good ol’ days when all we fears were the Soviets?
Forget Obama...Republicans made the Iran nukes deal possible
My understanding was that Obama was going to negotiate this deal without Congress being involved at all.
Eisenhower’s secretary of state John Foster Douglas - to effect - One day we will look back with nostalgia when the U.S. and Russia only had the bomb.
Ted Cruz: Why I voted YES for Corker Iran bill
May 7, 2015 - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement regarding votes on the Iran Nuclear Review Act:
“This bill was a missed opportunity. If Congress had acted to defend our constitutional authority – if Congress had adopted the Cruz-Toomey amendment – then we would be able to stop a bad Iran deal. Instead, the odds are now overwhelming that under these ground rules President Obama will negotiate, and Congress will acquiesce to, a terrible deal that allows Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and will endanger the lives of millions of Americans and our allies.
“I voted no on cloture because we should have insisted on amendments to put real teeth in this bill. Ultimately, I voted yes on final passage because it may delay, slightly, President Obama’s ability to lift the Iran sanctions and it ensures we will have a Congressional debate on the merits of the Iran deal. I will continue to lead the fight to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to protect the national security of America and our allies.”

Ted Cruz Ping! [and 85-90% of the world's Muslims are Sunni, IOW, Shiites kill twice as many per capita]
"So? What's the Problem?"
Kilometers away there will be blood from flying glass, and eventual cancer. Up close? A final solution to the “Jewish Problem” that Obama and his Iranian allies want so badly to see solved.
Daily Digest Ted Cruz Ping for July 18th, 2015! Just like my generation didn’t understand our parents generation’s culture and fears.....so too todays kids don’t understand the fear of nuclear annihilation.
I remember delivering newspapers at 3 a.m. and seeing satellites moving across the sky and wondering if the missile launches had happened and those satellites were incoming warheads.
No excuse. He was against it before he was for it.
So what? They make his dictatorial behavior legal?

Cruz, Toomey file amendment to give Congress more power over Obama’s Iran deal
April 24, 2015
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, have filed an amendment (#1152) to the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, which would require affirmative Congressional approval of any Iranian nuclear deal before sanctions relief can occur.
"The Constitution makes clear that Congress must approve international agreements like the one President Obama is negotiating with Iran," said Sen. Cruz. "A nuclear Iran is the single greatest threat to our national security and also poses an unacceptably high risk to Israel. Reviewing this deal and deciding whether or not to consent to it may well be the most important function of this Congress. It is not something that should be rushed, and it is imperative that, at the very least, the President obtain majority support for his deal from both Houses of Congress before moving forward."
As currently written, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 would first require Congress to pass a resolution of disapproval and then require Congress to muster votes from two-thirds of each chamber to override a Presidential veto. What's more, if Congress failed to act within a set timeframe, the deal would go into effect by default. This process gets the Constitution's allocation of authority precisely backwards.
The Cruz-Toomey amendment would remove these options and restore a more proper process for Congress to exercise its Constitutional power. It would require President Obama to persuade a majority of Senators and Representatives to approve his deal before it goes into effect.
