we begin tonight with one of the most historic days in the obama presidency and a potentially transformative moment for american foreign policy. today s announcement of a deal between iran and six nations led by the u.s. to limit iran s nuclear ability in exchange for the lifting of brutal it represents an approach to foreign policy that dates back to barack obama s first presidential run. when the then-candidate said he would be willing to meet with iran s leaders and those of other hostile nations without preconditions. barack obama is off base in his proclamation that he would meet with some of these leaders around our world who would seek to destroy america. what senator obama doesn t seem to understand, without precondition, you sit down across the table from someone who is called israel a stinking corpse and wants to destroy that country and wipe it off the map, you legitimize those comments.
