Political Quotes

“some of the most dangerous and lethal weapons our soldiers are facing in Iraq right now are there because Iran gave it to them. Osama bin Laden said: It is our religious duty to gain nuclear weapons. If Iran is allowed to proliferate nuclear weapons into the hands of terrorists, any sense or concept of peace that we have experienced in this country so far could be gone in a blinding flash in the center of one of our major cities, maybe even in Washington, DC. And yet this majority has prevented us from voting on a military contingency plan to prevent Iran from gaining this deadly capability. Mr. Chairman, very simply, the highway of history is littered with the dangers of strategic ambiguity, and I believe our best hope of preventing a nuclear Iran is to help them understand that we are prepared to do whatever is necessary, including a military contingency, if they continue to pursue their nuclear capability. I hope that our children are not faced with the consequences of that strategic ambiguity. We need to be very, very clear. We need to vote on the amendment to improve this bill tomorrow.”
