TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: ". . . the Iranians are doing many things based to some degree on their thousands of year old ambition of Persians to have a great influence in the Middle East. They are helping and arming training Shiite militias in Southern Iraq, they are sending some of the most lethal explosive devices . . . into Iraq that has taken into endangering the lives of young men and women in the armed forces . . . they have a president that announced his dedication to the extinction of . . . the state of Israel . . .they are proceeding to acquire a nuclear weapons capability . . . in the United Nations we continue to be blocked by Russia and, to a lesser extent, China in the Security Council in imposing meaningful sanctions . . . I believe we need a League of Democracies . . . if we enacted meaningful tough sanctions . . . I believe that it could have a beneficial effect . . . at the end of the day we cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. But I am confident that, working together with nations of shared values . . . we can have a beneficial effect . . . if the Iranians acquire nuclear weapons, I think it's a very short time before other nations in the region will feel compelled to do so which then increases the issue of nuclear of proliferation dramatically."
