Cruz Laughs at Reporter on Iran Deal ~ Ted Cruz had a great response to the question of why he opposed the Iran deal ~
“The single greatest national security threat facing America is the threat of a nuclear Iran. If this deal goes through, three things will happen. Number one, the Obama Administration will be world’s leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism. Billions of dollars will flow to jihadists who will use that money to try and murder Americans. Number two, this deal leaves four American hostages languishing in Iran including Pastor Saeed Abedini an American citizen sentenced to 8 years in prison for preaching the Gospel. But number three, most dangerously, this deal only accelerates Iran’s acquiring a nuclear weapon.”
