MOUNT PLEASANT, SOUTH CAROLINA— Hundreds came to see Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a Republican candidate for President of the United States, as he unveiled his national defense strategy aboard the USS Yorktown Tuesday morning.
Just as businessman Donald Trump seemed to be closing in on a victory in Iowa, which could make him the presumptive favorite to win the Republican nomination, he gave Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) a closing argument to Iowa voters.
Donald Trump seems to be attracting new, or formerly disgruntled, voters into the Republican primary. The impact of this phenomenon will vary by state, depending on unique voting rules, but it could propel Trump to securing the nomination must faster than many folks expect.
The following is an exclusive Breitbart News interview with Victoria Coates, Sen. Ted Cruz’s national security adviser.
Testifying before the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford, said that the Islamic State terrorist organization is not contained, and has not been at anytime since 2010.
Erik Prince, who used to head Blackwater, the mercenary outfit that assisted U.S. operations in the Middle East, came on Breitbart News Daily Tuesday morning to discuss the state of affairs in America’s foreign policy. Prince called into the show live from Beijing.
WASHINGTON, D.C.– Retired General David Petraeus appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday to discuss the administration’s current Mid East strategy.
It was a chastened Donald Trump that met CNN’s Chris Cuomo on the stage at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library after Wednesday’s night’s marathon GOP debate.
Donald Trump has produced the most credible response yet of any Republican presidential candidate thus far to the Iran deal.
The Iran deal will “likely and necessarily” lead to war, according to Yaakov Amidror, a former national security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Arab states have opposed the Iran deal from a very early stage, seeing Iran’s regional ambitions as a direct threat. As negotiations went on, Saudi Arabia and other states were vocal and demonstrative in their protests, and warned that they, too, might seek nuclear weapons.
In a meeting with American Jewish leaders on Tuesday, President Obama reportedly predicted that if Congress were to reject the nuclear accord that his administration signed with the Iranian regime, the result would entail Tehran’s proxy, Hezbollah, proxy firing rockets at Tel Aviv, according to multiple reports citing sources from the meeting with the President.
U.S. officials announced Sunday that the Pentagon will defend American-trained Syrian rebels against attacks from the Syrian Armed Forces – the military forces controlled by Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Damascus.
Critics of the Iran deal have pointed out that President Barack Obama has imposed a false choice on Congress: accept a bad deal, or go to war—as if those are the only two alternatives. In fact, Obama has imposed a second false choice: either cooperate with the international community, or go it alone.
In sum: as a purely nuclear deal, the Iran agreement is very weak but debatable, depending on whether you believe it can be enforced. The non-nuclear part of the deal, however, concerning the arms and ballistic missile provisions, is a complete disaster.
Kofi Annan, who served as secretary-general of the United Nations when the group overwhelmingly supported the 2003 U.S. war in Iraq, claimed at the Munich Security Conference that the United States is to blame for the creation of the Islamic State (ISIS).
