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.

And the Iranian’s who scream death to America could not find their personal freedom even when when in fetal position on their prayer rugs.

I have no problem finding it.

It’s between Iraq and a hard place.

Republicans even think there are 57 states and they speak Austrian in Vienna.

What?
Really?
Him?

Nevermind.

Eventually the Czechs will have to get to the 21st century and switch to Dzebit cards.

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

That would definitely change the climate in Afganistan, and the Russians would thank you for giving them a warm weather port.

He is confusing American conservatives with democrats who generally couldn’t find their own butts with both hands.

Iran is Muslim.
So, even if it were in New York state, it would be an enemy.
And even more worth bombing as long as it is close to liberal vity.

You don’t have to know where it is to know it’s a Muslim dung-heap ruled by murderers.

when the Iranians talk about destroying the US , it’s clear they have no clue where the US is

But once we remove it from the map it will be moot point.

it won't be removed per se, just renamed to a more descriptive Glassanistan.
