WASHINGTON, D.C. - After attending a briefing on the Iranian nuclear deal, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) offered the following remarks:
"This Obama Iranian Nuclear Deal is a bad deal. It keeps getting worse. The more you hear about the deal, the less confident you are. I'll tell you the discussions of the inspection regime, they're classified, but they produce no comfort or security, whatsoever. At the end of the day the inspection regime we all know about the 24-days notice, which is a delay that is designed only to give the Iranian regime time to cover up their nuclear program.
"But hearing the specific details, this deal is not materially different than simply calling the Iranian supreme leader, asking if they're developing nuclear weapons, and taking his word for it when he says ‘no.'
"The idea that we would trust Iran to inspect their own facilities takes a level of gullibility and naiveté that exceeds the standards even of the Obama Administration. Nobody would sign this agreement without knowing full well that the predictable and certain outcome of this agreement is that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons. And no one in their right mind would want a regime that is led by a radical, theocratic Ayatollah, who chants ‘Death to America,' to acquire nuclear weapons.
"In my view, the Iranian nuclear deal is catastrophic, and there is no higher priority over the next 60 days than to energize and mobilize the American people to reach out to every member of Congress, Republican and Democrat, and urge them to reject this deal.
"In my view, the vote on this deal will be the most important vote any member of the Senate casts, likely, in his or her entire career. And the focus in particular, should be on Senate Democrats and Congressional Democrats because they face a fundamental choice: Will they put first the national security of our country, the safety and security of our friends and allies, the safety and security of the Nation of Israel, and the lives of millions of Americans? Or will they put first, instead, partisan loyalty to the Obama White House. I very much hope and pray we see a reemergence of Joe Lieberman Democrats, we see a reemergence of Scoop Jackson Democrats, of John F. Kennedy Democrats, of Democrats who say ‘My first priority is representing and defending the United States of America and keeping this nation first trumps any level of partisan loyalty.' It is my hope and prayer that is where Democrats end up, and the next 60 days will resolve that question. Thank you very much."

Trump will know what to do, Ted.
We have another “deal” to compare this Iranian agreement to. Clinton and Albright’s North Korean deal was a comparable agreement. It took NK just how many months before they said, “Just kidding, thanks for the cash and food, Death to America, we’ve got the bomb.”
Kerry failed to act on pre-9/11 tip
"Kerry saying Allah willing in Arabic in his hopes of a nuke deal."
There is no GOP
a level of gullibility and naiveté that exceeds the standards even of the Obama Administration.
Well, it’s either that or outright collusion, take
your pick.
Now isn’t everyone glad that Congress pre-approved this deal back in April?
Okay Cruz than show a backbone - file an Article of Impeachment Against Barack Hussein Obama. See the GOP stated no to impeachment STAND UP FOR AMERICA AND TELL THE GOP TO GO HADES. WHAT DID WE ELECT YOU YAHOOS TO DO RUBBER STAMP OBAMA’S AGENDA OR SAY HELL NO! THAN START NOW!
Now isnt everyone glad that Congress pre-approved this deal back in April?Approved by Saint Cruz for one. The same fraud that's now calling foul.
Oh wait, don't tell me, he was lied to. Imagine a lawyer that doesn't read what he's signing.
What a hypocrite.
Okay Cruz than show a backbone - file an Article of Impeachment Against Barack Hussein Obama.He can't. The dimwit lawyer signed away his Constitutional authority last April...
Constitutional lawyer my ass. Liar? Fraud? Hypocrite?
This doesn’t rise to to level of a “deal.” Its more like a facilitation.
If you hate him so much, don't read threads about him. However, if you don't hate him, but attack him to destroy his character on behalf of your candidate, shame on you!
Let Love lead you and purify your heart.
Thank you for saying what I was thinking, only much more politely than I was thinking it.
