Ted Cruz Says Obama Should Threaten Iran
HispanicBusiness.com ^ | February 7, 2014 | Paul Bedard

Expanding his attack on the administration's nuclear deal with Iran, Sen. Ted Cruz Thursday said that President Obama should end talks, demand Tehran give up its nuclear program immediately and use military force if the terrorist nation doesn't give in.

A "responsible president," the Texas Republican told a conference on Iran's grab for a nuclear weapon, "would stand up and say unequivocally, in terms that allow no confusion, 'Under no circumstances will the nation of Iran be allowed to acquire nuclear weapon capability, and they will either halt now or we will use every step necessary including direct military force to stop them.'"

. . . .

Cruz, one of the Senate's harshest critics of the U.S. deal to trade sanctions on Iran in exchange for drawing down its nuclear weapons program, also said that the United States should arm Israel with so-called "bunker buster" bombs capable of destroying Iran's bomb plants deep below the surface of the earth.

"At a very minimum," the first-term senator said, "we should be making available bunker busters to Israel. That if Israel is going to be forced to defend itself, it should have the tools to effectively eliminate this program."

Cruz also called for swift approval of new and broader economic sanctions in Iran.

He called the deal being discussed in Geneva and pushed by Secretary of State John Kerry "a very very bad deal and an historic mistake" and a lethal threat to Israel.

Instead of "appeasement," Cruz said, "we should act against an enemy of the United States."

I saw “The One” and assumed Obama. Just media fatigue, I guess.

This country is broke, and we don't need one more Ivy League jack@ss who'd convert to Islam before he ever put on a military uniform to tell us what kind of ideas he has for using this country's military forces to support his globalist agenda.

Well, so I see your ability to think a topic through and see relevant patterns are totally shot, or is it you've started early on the week-end libations?

Just think ? a few months ago it was considered this Administration's and the State department's grand victory foreign relations triumph with everyone singing kumbaya and everyone was suppose to get all along.
That is ? that's what the main stream media told us.

Why would Soebarkah (aka ‘Obama’) threaten IRAN (the country that planted him inside the USA to destroy us)?

Or is it that you are one of the wacky Libertarians like Ron Paul who thinks we didn't need to fight either the Civil War or WWII?

I think he did send a strongly worded letter.

I’ve reported this post as “Abuse” and expect to see it removed. When you resort to that kind of idiocy on a respectable website, you’ve pretty much admitted that you have nothing to say.

Of course we needed to fight them - we need to follow the orders of financial elites.

When they schedule a war, everybody has to participate.

On a not completely unrelated note, the new world order reading assignment of the day:

Don't look now, Alberta's Child, but I think the Admin deleted your post instead!

It is sad. All lies. As a kid I was so fond of reading WWII history. I still listen to music of that era. My favorite movies, all lies. Subtle, but still lies.

But reality eventually hit home.

FDR = big lie. I have to laugh when I see old “Waltons” repeats; they worship FDR as some sort of hero. Yet he was the biggest Wall Street carpetbagger new world order tycoon from New York old money one can possibly imagine.

Bernard Baruch as an advisor to FDR ? Bernard Baruch ? He ran much of WWI. Still in there operating during WWII ?

That stinks like scam of all scams.

Just listen to videos of interviews with Antony Sutton.

Even if you can’t verify every detail of what he says, there are a few key points that just stiiiinnnkkkk of conspiracy.

Why would a bunch of Wall Street operators take millions of dollars to the Bolsheviks to help during their revolution under the cheesy excuse of a Red Cross mission ? Stiiinnnnkkkkksss.

Capitalists should want nothing to do with communism.

Both Repubs and Dems rank and file are rubes.

Financial elites are calling the key shots (not all, just the key ones) behind the scenes.

Financial elites plan and execute the wars and revolutions.

Sorry, Dorothy, you’re not in Kansas any more.
