The presence of these large, long-range, and clearly offensive weapons of sudden mass-destruction—constitutes an explicit threat to the peace and security of all the Americas...
Note the variant of the “weapons of mass destruction” phrase.
But I really believe it is in America's interest as well as that of the free world more generally to stop Iran from getting its hands on nuclear weapons. This regime has threatened to wipe Israel off the map and bring about a world without America, and either of those is a really bad prospect.
A failed Iraq would make America less secure.
A diplomatic solution that puts significant and verifiable constraints on Iran's nuclear program represents the best and most sustainable chance to ensure that America, Israel, the entire Middle East will never be menaced by a nuclear-armed Iran.
We want the president to act to keep America safe.
Only in an Orwellian [Barack] Obama world full of sprinkly fairy dust broken from atop his unicorn as he's peeking through a really pretty pink kaleidoscope would he ever see victory or safety for America or Israel in this treaty. This treaty will not bring peace. You don't reward terrorism. You kill it!
Global energy security is a vital part of America's national security.
A nuclear Iran is a - a dramatic and - and devastating potential threat to the world and to America. And - and all our efforts should be focused on making that our first priority or keeping them from having that nuclear capacity our first priority.
I don't think any of us should forget that the security of America is our highest responsibility.
To protect America's security, we are going to have to pull America's military out of the swamp of Washington politics.
It is axiomatic that the security of America and Europe are linked.
America has historically met the challenges to its national security with decisive actions that defeated or, at a minimum, contained the threat.
National security begins with border security. Foreign terrorists will not be able to strike America if they cannot get into our country.
We have a situation where the security of America is at stake, and it's a very, very serious situation.
