GOP opponents of nuclear deal couldn't find Iran on a map, says Rouhani (CNN barf alert)

The Republican candidates for U.S. president who are attacking the nuclear deal with Iran could hardly find the country on a map, or know that Tehran is the capital, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Sunday.

"Sometimes when I would have time, some of it was broadcast live and I would watch it -- some of it was quite laughable. It was very strange, the things that they spoke of," he said through an interpreter.

"Some of them wouldn't even know where Tehran was in relation to Iran. Some of them didn't know where Iran was geographically, not distinguishing that one is the capital of the other."

"So what they spoke of was quite far away from the truth. So the people of Iran were looking at it as a form of entertainment, if you will, and found it laughable."

The U.S. Congress failed to block the implementation of a deal between Iran and six world powers that trades curbs on Iran's nuclear program for the elimination of many sanctions that have been placed on the country.

But Republican candidates for president have vowed to tear up the deal if elected.

"I will rip to shreds this catastrophic Iranian nuclear deal," Ted Cruz said in a recent CNN debate.

I am a republican on the side against the deal.
I can in fact find Iran on a map.
And would be happy to provide guidance coordinates.

But once we remove it from the map it will be moot point. Beside the missile GPS devices will pinpoint top targets to within a yard.
So face east....get down on your knees.....put your heads between your legs and kiss your sorry muzzy @$$ goodbye

Thinking the same thing.

Boy they treat us like jerks and idiots and we have to take it because 52 percent of the country are jerks and idiots!!

Too bad he didn’t talk about crushing the uprising four years ago, and too bad he wasn’t asked about that.

Yeah, those media guys are embracing full blown logical fallacies for sure. Hey CNN, you need to start going back to school and recognizing a fallacy called guilt by association or appeal to spite. I sure know fallacies, and I sure see some flaming fallacies being used by these educated guys at CNN.

We Freepers know about Iran though.

It was here that I learned that there was some great skiing in Iran.

GOP Opponents of (Iran) Nuclear Deal Couldn't Find Iran on a Map, says Rouhani

Supporters of Iran Nuclear Deal Couldn't Find the U. S. Constitution in a Book, says DoughtyOne

I'll leave it to forum participants to decide which is true.

A lot of conservative and patriotic Americans have served in countries bordering Iran. Many were killed by ieds and bombs supplied by Iran. You bet your ass we know where you’re at.

Hey holy man, GPS coordinates down to the fifth decimal place land in your desk drawer, left side. And what won't be found is your little bits and pieces sprayed about in a place called Tehran, the capital city of Iran.

Yes the Obama public school system produces adults who can't even name the continents. But those folks don't work things out for us to the fifth decimal place if ya know what I'm saying.

I thought the biggest reason for getting into Iraq was so we’d have a beachhead to take Iran when the time came....My bad.

This coming from a Troglodyte who probably doesn’t understand hand-washing and food safety.
