you know i started this day this morning at fort hood at fort hood today they finally after over five years awarded the purple heart nnnnn

to the soldiers who were wounded or lost their lives on november fifth two thousand nine for

over five years the obama administration has insisted that what happened there wasn't terrorist nadal

hassan that communicated with anwar awlaki a radical islamic terrorists past

about the permissible any of waging jihad against his fellow soldiers and then on that fateful day walk through fort hood screaming

a little how ok bar as he shot his fellow soldiers and yet shamefully this administration characterized what happened there as

a workplace violence well i tell you one of the things that was very proud to do last year i introduced legislation in the united states senate to

mandate that we give the purple heart to the soldiers who deserve it that legislation earned unanimous support in the senate are services

committee we brought together republicans and democrats over the strong objection of the obama administration and

this morning those soldiers received the recognition that they deserved nnnnn

it is a time for truth you cannot win a war on radical islamic terrorism with

of a president %HESITATION boycotts prime minister netanyahu imagine america's standing unapologetically

will defeat radical islamic terrorists and under no circumstances will the nation of iran be

allowed to acquire nuclear weapons nnnnn

some weeks ago i joined with forty six other senators signing a letter that we sent to iran explaining

morning joe and they went a little bit hysterical about the letter they asked do you regret signing that letter i

said that the only thing i regret is like john hancock that i didn't make my signature bigger nnnnn

so that the ayatollah could read it without his reading glasses nnnnn

you know we are at a time of crisis here at home millions of people are hurting as the economies in stagnation abroad

the obama clinton foreign policy of leading from behind does not work

and we are saying an unprecedented threat to our liberties each and every day from the federal government and

yet i want to tell you i am inspired i like i am hopeful and i'll tell you why it's because of each and everyone of you n.
