Cruz hits Obama for State of the Union silence on Iran

The Hill – Jan. 14, 2016 – GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz says President Obama was negligent not to mention the soldiers captured by Iran just hours before his State of the Union address.
“In that State of the Union, President Obama didn’t so much as mention the 10 sailors that had been captured by Iran,” Cruz said Thursday at the debate hosted by Fox Business Network in North Charleston, S.C.
Cruz said the incident cast a shadow on the nuclear deal struck with Iran, which will release to the country as much as $100 billion in frozen assets.
“President Obama is preparing to send $100 billion or more to the Ayatollah Khamenei,” he said.
