Ted Cruz Wants You to Know That the U.S. Will Get Nuked Soon

Repent! The Mullah Missiles cometh!

By Charles P. Pierce

May 13, 2016

You probably missed it, but the 2020 presidential campaign has begun, and Tailgunner Ted Cruz is already running hard. He has taken to the liberally biased, anti-Jesus editorial pages of The New York Times to present more of his foreign policy to a nation that had heard enough of that—and of him—almost a month ago.

It was not revealed if this missile had its genocidal intent actually inscribed on it, as other missiles recently tested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps have—with the inscription in Hebrew "Israel should be erased from the map."

But it hardly matters. The mullahs' objectives are plain enough for anyone with eyes to see: The Iranian regime is continuing its determined march toward not only a nuclear weapon, but also the means to launch it, first against Israel and then against the United States.

This reality makes all the more inexplicable President Obama's steadfast faith that, since the election of President Hassan Rouhani in 2013, Iran has been charting a "more moderate course" to the detriment of the old-time hard-liners, and that Mr. Rouhani and his administration would be reliable partners in negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.

Once again, Cruz has decided on his own that the ruling government of Iran is set on a course that will prove to be completely suicidal. One nuke aimed at Israel or the United States, even if it never lands, and Tehran is a glass parking lot within the hour.

Cruz believes in the bellicose rhetoric of various Iranian government officials more than their own people do. Of course, in this particular instance, he is betraying the legacy of Ronald Reagan more than anyone ever has. You're supposed to send the mullahs the missiles, dammit. Get with the program.
