Full Title: Ted Cruz: Iran missiles fired at Iraqi airbases were 'in a very real sense' paid for by billions that Obama sent Tehran

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Tuesday he believed the missiles Iran launched at Iraqi airbases where American soldiers are stationed were "in a very real sense" paid for by the billions of dollars the Obama administration sent to Tehran in 2016.

Cruz told "Hannity" that Trump's predecessor wrongfully "appeased" Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in hopes of reaching detente, which only served to further empower the regime.

All Hail Obama-mess - former president...

He showed how to be 'stupid' as president... Like the jokers in Great Britian (Chamberlain)and the US Ambassador (Joe Kennedy) who appeased Adolf Hitler...

150 billion dollars buys a lot of pent up aggression. Obama should be hanged for treason.

Looks like Iran can’t hit anything with its missiles but Ted Cruz just hit the bullseye! :)

He says a lot of good things.

Goes to bat for Trump more than 95 percent of the creatures with R next to their name.

Trump should devote a tweetstorm to Obama’s giving of ca$h on plane and John Kerry’s shadow clown diplomacy.

Close, the money was laundered through Iran but the American taxpayer provided the funds.

Now, knowing this, why is Obama still walking free. He has aided and abetted an enemy that is trying to destroy us.

Also, why is the Logan Act not used against John Kerry for his visit(s) to Iran to aid in waging war against us.

I want to see these two sobs punished.

If President Trump were a brilliant strategist, he would take this opportunity to level EVERY nuclear development site in Iran,all sites converting uranium into plutonium including their ballistic missile manufacturing and testing facilities.

This is the time to remove Iran’s nuclear development program for good, regardless of the feckless puling of the Democrat Donkeys who care more about their own preservation of power than they do the safety of the world and America from Islamofascist nuclear bombs.

The Democrats now demonstrate to the People just how ba$tardly they truly are. This adds another wave of support for the President, as the Dems continue to wallow in their appeasement policies of the community organizer former president of dirty name.

President Trump has Lead US-Iran policy from appeasement to deterrence. He must take one more step: The Interdiction of Irans Nuclear Capability Development.

NOW!

There will be no better time nor opportunity.

Yep - I’ve been wondering if their missile guidance systems are really that bad or if they were afraid to actually hit the “intended targets”.

Chamberlain and Kennedy were misguided and not the leader of the most powerful country on the planet.

Obama was not misguided. All his destruction was intentional.

Good points that need to be addressed and dealt with.

We all know how bad Obama was AND still is.

Kerry is working so closely with our enemies and not even hiding it. He needs to be taken to the curb.

looking more and more like it - TigerClaws put out a theory by someone that said we did the ‘fearless leader” a favor because Soleimani had so much power that he was dictating to them in many ways

There was one unexplored question: What if the expertise to do an effective Green Zone missile attack died with Suleimani? Was the one we experienced just put together quickly and haphazardly but to show effect?
