Republican Whip Eric Cantor reminded the 2009 General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America in Washington that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is "the man holding the gun with which he vows to kill Israel and the Jews."
Cantor, the second-highest-ranking GOP member in the U.S. House of Representatives, called for determined and vigilant activity against enemies of the Jewish Nation and the West. 
The State of Israel is now in dire straits, mortal danger
"We must answer our enemies' dangerous resurgence with renewed vigilance" said the U.S. Representative from Virginia, "lest we invite greater dangers for both Israel and the United States."
Cantor said that each day that passes brings the world one step closer to Ahmadinejad's possession of a nuclear bomb. "Have we not been down this road before?" he asked.
