Political Quotes

“On November 20, during critical negotiations in Geneva about Tehran's nuclear program, Iran's supreme leader tweeted this disturbing statement: ``Israel is the sinister, unclean rabid dog of the region.'' That same day, he added, The United States and Israel are a ``threat to the world'' and ``enemies'' that ``should be resisted.'' This is the Iranian regime we are dealing with. They have ignored diplomatic efforts for years, and they cannot be trusted. An interim deal might seem like good news, but it does not make our Nation or our allies in the Middle East safer, especially when Iran claims the agreement is a victory over the great aggressor--the West. This rhetoric leaves me skeptical that any progress has been made, and I encourage our leaders and international partners to take the necessary measures to halt Iran's nuclear program, not only for our own security, but that of our allies and democracies around the world. ____________________”
