Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, The Post and Courier of Charleston, on May 6, explained the Iran-North Korea link in an editorial: ``President Trump is looking for ways to put a squeeze on North Korea that will persuade it to give up nuclear weapons and the missiles to carry them . . . there is another collaborator with North Korea that appears to be helping it survive: Iran.'' ``According to Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California, the evidence of collaboration between North Korea and Iran is ample and of long standing. `The very first missiles we saw in Iran were simply copies of North Korean missiles. Over the years, we have seen photographs of North Korean and Iranian officials in each other's countries, and we have seen all kinds of common hardware.' '' `` . . . President Obama got Tehran to agree to reduce its stock of enriched uranium. . . . But the agreement is a weak one if Tehran is simply paying Pyongyang to do the design work for missiles and warheads. . . .'' ``And if Iran is paying North Korea for help, then the sanctions . . . are also being fatally undermined.'' In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________”
