WASHINGTON -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said on Tuesday that if the nuclear deal with Iran being negotiated by the U.S. and five other countries is approved, the result will be war.
"This deal makes war a certainty," promised Cruz, a Republican contender for president in the 2016 election.
Cruz has repeatedly insisted that Congress require any nuclear deal with Iran to include recognition of Israel's right to exist. The Obama administration has held firm to the position that the negotiations should be narrowly focused on Iran’s nuclear program.
The effort to tie the nuclear deal to Iran’s recognition of Israel is currently pending as an amendment, authored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), to a bill aimed at granting Congress oversight of the final nuclear agreement. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Thursday pulled an unusual procedural move to force a vote on this amendment.
Democrats and a handful of Republicans committed to preserving bipartisan support of the bill have balked at voting on the amendment, describing it as a “poison pill” that would ensure a presidential veto if included in the legislation.
Democrats are afraid to vote, Cruz told reporters in the Capitol. "They are terrified of casting a vote on whether the legislation would require Iran to recognize Israel's rights to exist as a Jewish state, and rather than have to go on record and make clear the Democratic senators’ opposition to supporting Israel, they're blocking every amendment on the Iran deal instead," he said. "This should be a matter that brings us together in unity, because a nuclear Iran represents the single greatest national security threat to America. Unfortunately, far too many Senate Dems are playing politics with this rather than focusing on the grave national security threats we face."
Cruz’s comments came as Republican members indicated that the Iran

Ted Cruz Ping! But McConnell says 0zer0 gets what he wants...
You’re Sounding A Bit Like Winnie CHURCHILL
Daily Digest Ted Cruz Ping! Ted wants war with 93 million people? I want him to go fight. I want him to send his kids to go die. I want him to spend his money. But not my grand sons. Not my money unless Iran is crazy enough to attack my country and kill my children— like Saudi Arabia did on 911. I don’t like this bravado with other peoples lives and money. I don’t give a crap what a sovereign country does as long as they don’t mess with THIS country. Then we waste them into oblivion.
Israel is rightfully concerned but USA remains Iran’s continuing “Great satan” cnumber one target- as Obama and Kerry very well know.
So you don’t think we should go to war with Iran?
What is the alternative to going to war with Iran?
You seem to agree with Cruz that war may be necessary. That doesn’t mean that you “want” war, just that in your view there may be no alternative. In fact, the “alternatives” — embargoes and blockades - are military actions, so apparently there’s NO alternative to one form of war or another.
Iowacornman isn’t really wrong, then, is he?
Eliminating the ismonazi atomic weapons and icbms by USAF action. I’m told it formerly would have taken under a day but since Obama’s given them an additional six years that a good cleanup job could take four to six days now. Kerry just got done bragging USA has new bunker busters specifically ready to do exactly this for us, so maybe this may reduce the operational time some I havet heard but this makes sense The only other visible alternative is that they’ll finish building their nuke bomb arsenal and icbms. And my view is that when mad dictators threaten to Destroy you, you’d better believe them. USA is their number one target Great Satan and they already announced their five or six primary targets as NYC, washDC, la, SF, and I think it was Chicago but maybe Boston. We have to redirect the USAF back to protecting USA and our allies Instead of the islamonazi nuke bomb factories. Ps: what do u think About maybe letting them have washDC??? Just kidding. But it could solve a lot of problems ? Ha ha. Just kidding. Just kidding.

TED CRUZ understands God’s promises concerning Israel.
Genesis 12:3
3
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.
Cruz says...” if the nuclear deal with Iran being negotiated by the U.S. and five other countries is approved, the result will be war.....”This deal makes war a certainty,”......
Scary to even think about but it does make one believe that’s exactly what Obama wants.
We are in such deep crap Onyx...I really believe only God’s intervention is going to stop this ball rolling fast because we have no congress to stop Obama.
seems to me that folks who think there’s no alternative to war - folks who think there’s no possibility of negotiating an acceptable agreement with Iran - should be honest, and own their position. Not play semantic games, by saying, “hey, stop criticizing my position becaue I don’t WANT war” If you think there’s no alternative, then you believe war is the only way - and you should debate people who disagree, honestly, not with semantic games where you’re trying to disavow your belief that no alternative to war will work.
Yes. Pray and keep praying and pray for the Leader of the Free World, Prime Minister Netanyahu.
God's chosen people.
It is curious that Dementocrats are not willingly lining up to publicly salivate over Soetoro and take the Ayatollah in the anus. It’s certainly not because they have moral convictions, given how they desire nothing else but to destroy America.
Perhaps they fear that the ignorant masses would be willing to give up their welfare checks in order to ensure that they won’t have to wear burqas and give up sodomy and drugs. Perhaps they fear a conservative sweep in 2016, and are trying to avoid being executed for treason (it’s a little late for that).
