Cruz Calls upon Hillary Clinton, Other Presidential Candidates to Publicly Acknowledge Negotiations with Iran Will Not Make Us Safer and Demand that Sec. Kerry Leave Vienna Immediately
HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement regarding the disastrous nuclear deal the Obama Administration is trying to make with Iran:
“It is time to acknowledge that the Iran talks have been a disaster. Today I am calling upon former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, under whose leadership this bad deal began, and other Presidential candidates to join me in demanding that Secretary Kerry stop negotiating with this hostile and violent enemy of America and immediately leave Vienna.
“We are now on the eve of what is by my count the fifth ‘deadline’ for a comprehensive nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is still unclear if this arbitrary date will be more respected than any of its predecessors, but it hardly matters at this point. By any metric, the negotiations have failed—at least from the perspective of America’s national security. All of our key priorities—stopping enrichment of uranium, removing stockpiles of enriched uranium, and exposing and eradicating the potential military applications of Iran’s nuclear program—have been ceded to the Iranians.
“Perhaps there was some hope for this process two years ago when Hasan Rouhani became president of Iran. Given Iran’s dire economic circumstances caused by the unprecedented program of international sanctions, we could have demanded concessions from the mullahs before any negotiations took place–notably the release of all Americans unjustly held in Iran and the recognition of Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. Once negotiations began, we could have made it clear the above conditions would have to be met before sanctions relief. And rather than stove-piping Iran’s nuclear program from its abysmal human rights record, aggressive state sponsorship of terrorism and ballistic missile program–the only purpose of which is to deliver a nuclear weapon–we should have insisted these issues be addressed to our satisfaction as well.
“Unfortunately, in their unseemly eagerness to make a deal, President Obama and Secretary Kerry have squandered all our advantages and ceded all our priorities. There is no possibility for an acceptable agreement at this point because there is no incentive for the Iranians to make one. Our first priority must be to end this farce; the best we can do is cut our losses.”
Yes!
And Cruz would be wise to be very blunt about Obama’s animosity toward Israel.
To in effect say “Obama hates Israel”
Everyone that would possibly vote for him already thinks Obama hates Israel .. he would become their champion.
He would get lots of press... Trump would echo his statement on the matter.
Sunni Obama hates Israel
And he wants Iran to have a nuclear bomb.
Exactly so....
Sounds like Cruz has sounded the trumpet! GAME ON!
I agree he wants Iran to have the bomb.
But why would a Sunni want Persian Shia to have the bomb?
I’ve been thinking he’s Shia. Knocked off the Sunni Gaddafi, has always coddled shia Iran, goes easy on Hamas, easy on Assad.
A “deal” would suggest there’s something for everyone. But all this is is a fluff for Obama’s ego. Nothing more. There’s a huge payout for Iran and permission to make nukes as long as they wait until Obama is out of office. Preferably until a Republican is president.
Ted Cruz Ping! Daily Digest Ted Cruz Ping for July 5th, 2015! “But why would a Sunni want Persian Shia to have the bomb?”
I agree its odd, but he wants Iran to be in a position against a nuclear Israel, and regardless he worships the all powerful state over Islam, as with his religion and everything else hes ever received it has cost him nothing personally to indulge his evil desires, everything has been handed to him,
It places Israel in great danger and changes the whole paradigm of the middle east.
Israel is then forced to the table for some false peace agreement,
Cruz said...”By any metric, the negotiations have failed—at least from the perspective of America’s national security. All of our key priorities—stopping enrichment of uranium, removing stockpiles of enriched uranium, and exposing and eradicating the potential military applications of Iran’s nuclear program—have been ceded to the Iranians.”....
It’s evident Obama wants a deal regardless of it’s impact on our national security....he simply wants it said he, as President, got a deal nobody else could. HE wants this on his belt before he leaves.
How I detest this man!
Putin is to smart to hunt for something that’s not there.
There was never the goal of a deal by Obama. This has been a delaying tactic to wear out the US in making such a deal. This is all about muslim State getting the bomb and Obama and his handlers ensuring they do.
I’ll say this again: Obama desires to be the president of a muslim global government.
