Political Quotes

“As we meet today shortly after noon here, it is evening in the Persian Gulf. It is evening off the coast of Yemen. As we speak, Iran is supplying the rebels, the Houthi rebels, with weapons. Their ships are heading toward them. Iran is, in fact, our enemy; and Iran is, in fact, in an active war to destabilize many of the Arab countries, as we speak. Iran is a terrorist state, but we are pretending it isn't. The Houthis have been determined by the United Nations to be stopped as rebels, and yet the Theodore Roosevelt is circling rather than, in fact, sinking that ship or stopping it. We, America, are negotiating a nuclear deal that may or may not work--that remains to be seen--but we are negotiating with a terrorist state, a terrorist state that will, I guarantee it, continue going forward to destabilize the region and cause American lives to continue to be lost. This is the peril that we have. We have had it since 1979. If we do not stop Iran far beyond its nuclear ambitions, we, in fact, will lose American lives every day for the rest of my life. ____________________”
