Ben Cardin actually said...

"if we reach an agreement with Iran, if we are successful in having an agreement that prevents them from moving forward with a nuclear weapon program, there are still many other issues in our relations..."

"The only partner that we have had that is been a consistent partner to the United States has been Israel."

"We have to restore our military credibility."

"Iran could very well continue its current policy of supporting terrorism and its interference in so many other countries that is making it very challenging for our partners in the region."
