Ted Cruz Toys With Kerry, Carter, Moniz: "Sir, Do You Apologize Or Not?"
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 29, 2015 | Tim Hains

Posted on 07/29/2015 12:39:10 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Ted Cruz eats up all his time playing word games with Secretary Kerry and making Secretary Moniz trip over his own words, and then gets cut off by John McCain before he can ask Kerry to clarify what he meant by this unbelievable remark: John Kerry Explains Why Iran Deal Is Not Legally A Treaty: "You Can't Pass A Treaty Anymore"

TED CRUZ: General Sulemani, the commander of Iran's Quds Forces has more American blood on his hands than any living terrorist. Under this agreement, the sanctions on Gen. Sulemani are lifted. Sec. Kerry said to the families of those who lost their lives, who were killed by Gen. Sulemani, should apologize. Sec. Carter, I understand that the joint personnel agency has a classified list of about 500 Americans who were killed by Iranian IEDs. I would ask Sec. Carter, so that we can do what Sec. Kerry suggested. That the Defense Dept. release that list for every member of this committee, declassify that list and make it available to the families of those killed by Gen. Sulemani.

ASHTON CARTER: Let me look into that.

JOHN KERRY: I never said the word apology, I never mentioed apologizing. I said we should thank them for their extraordinary service. I never said apologize. Please don't distort my words.

CRUZ: Sec. Kerry, it is duly noted that you do not apologize to the families of the service members who were murdered by the Iranian military.

KERRY: That is not what I said.

CRUZ: Do you apologize or not? I don't want to put words in your mouth.

KERRY: I thank them for their

OH Geez, Am I the only one sick of all this apology crap? It doesn't solve a frigg'n thing. It only makes the one asking/begging for an apology look like the fool.

No, you are the only one posting crap about Ted Cruz on this thread because you support another POTUS candidate.

Wow. Mental note. Never debate Cruz in public. Check. About time someone stood up for Americans killed or kidnapped by Iran.

Ashton Carter has his marching orders from Obama. Under no circumstances is he to ever refer to anything that Iran does as terrorist activity. He uses the words “maligned activity” whatever in the hell that means. Ashton Carter is a wimp. If I were him, I would resign before I would use the words “maligned activity” when referring to act of terrorism by anyone. It is as insane as calling the Fort Hood murders by a Muslim “work-place violence”.

“Cruz ... gets cut off by John McCain”

That McCain -— he’s a rebel, without a clue.

Still serving the Uniparty I see. Not that I am surprised.

Its actually worse than that. This administration put the presidents entire foreign policy legacy on this agreement.

They have absolutely no rational interest in verifying compliance at any level and every interest in hiding any future violations.

We are in deep trouble.

Cruz routinely argued before SCOTUS (and WON). He had to have great knowledge in law, mind, and cases in order to survive impromptu questioning from the Supremes.
