I appreciate the forceful warnings of South Carolina senior Senator Lindsey Graham about the President's negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. Senator Graham has stated that the administration ``needs to understand that this Iranian regime cares more about trying to weaken America and push us out of the Middle East than cooperating with us. Until we recognize that reality and formulate a regional strategy to counter the Iranian regime's malign influence, we will continue to harm U.S. national security interests.'' The Iranians have not earned the right to be trusted. Despite years of their misleading nuclear inspectors and ignoring international calls to suspend enrichment while developing ballistic missiles, incredibly, the administration continues to acquiesce to a dangerous deal. Senator Graham has been a Paul Revere--warning of regional threats, holding the President accountable for his national security mistakes. He promotes congressional approval on any deal reached with Iran. Together, sanctions should be promoted which will stop further nuclear blackmail and promote the safety of Israel and our regional allies. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President should take action to never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
