Cruz: World powers should publicly outline Iran deal
The Hill ^ | 04/17/15 | By Martin Matishak

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is demanding six world powers and Iran to produce a single outline of the framework agreement reached over Tehran’s nuclear program.

“While there appears to be consensus that some agreement was reached … there is no consensus on the actual parameters of that agreement — including such critical items as the scope of Iran's ongoing nuclear program, the extent of the [International Atomic Energy Agency] verification regime, and the schedule for nuclear-related sanctions relief by both the United States and the international community,” Cruz, a 2016 presidential contender, wrote Friday in a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry.

Therefore, Iran and the United States, France, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, and Germany — the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) — should “make public a joint framework agreement outlining the parameters that have been agreed upon, and those that will be addressed in the event negotiations continue in both classified and unclassified form,” he argued. The missive is the latest sign GOP lawmakers remain skeptical of the interim deal, following comments by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and others contending a State Department-issued fact sheet misrepresented what was agreed to.

The document also comes days after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved legislation that would let Congress review the accord if negotiators strike a bargain by the June 30 deadline.

Obama's plan sounds a little like the South Park routine with the Underpants Gnomes and their sure-fire, three-step business plan:

1) Steal underpants
2) [ This step is not yet fully developed, kind of murkey at the moment ]
3) Enjoy enormous profits!!

You know, understanding that middle step is actually kind of important ...

Cruz gets it.

John Bolton: Obama’s Iran deal greatest ‘appeasement’ in history

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3280344/posts


Bolton would make a great Cabinet member in President Cruz’ administration.

In England or other parliamentary systems he’d be called a shadow prime minister.

I wonder what the six powers are going to do? If they do what Cruz is asking then we should definitely chose him as our President. But I believe they will just tell him to go away or ignore him which is worse. World Leaders are not as accommodating as they used to be in this 24/7 news cycles.

I don’t know why people say this. He did ABSOLUTELY nothing which at the UN. In fact they have more power after his time there. I don’t get it.
