Political Quotes

“Yesterday, Committee on Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce, with Ranking Member Eliot Engel, conducted an informative hearing on the implications of the nuclear agreement with Iran. The witnesses who provided enlightening testimony were the Honorable Stephen Rademaker, Dr. Michael Doran, Dr. Michael Makovsky, and Dr. Kenneth Pollack. Their varying opinions confirm my concerns, as expressed in a July 6 editorial from The Washington Post: ``If it is reached in the coming days, a nuclear deal with Iran will be, at best, an unsatisfying and risky compromise. Iran's emergence as a threshold nuclear power, with the ability to produce a weapon quickly, will not be prevented; it will be postponed by 10 to 15 years. In exchange, Tehran will reap hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief it can use to revive its economy and fund the wars it is waging around the Middle East.'' The President needs to change course and recognize that moral relativism is dangerous with opponents who promote ``Death to America, Death to Israel.'' The President can avoid a legacy of fanatics with nuclear warheads on ICBMs targeting American families. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President, by his actions, must never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________”
