Tom Cotton is a maniac

When Japanese and Norwegian oil tankers were reportedly attacked in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday, Republican foreign policy hawks eager for any excuse to start another war were champing at the bit to attack Iran.

Naturally, leading the pack was Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.

The U.S. should launch a “retaliatory strike” on Iran, Cotton said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” Sunday, that would unleash “the fire and the fury of the military.”

This stance is not new for the Iraq War veteran. Cotton has wanted war with Iran (and everyone else) since he became a senator in 2015.

He’s uncautiously optimistic: How long would it take to win a war with Iran? Just a few days, Cotton said in 2015. On PBS’ “Firing Line” in May, host Margaret Hoover asked Cotton, “Could we win a war with Iran?”

“Yes,” he replied immediately.

“That didn’t take you a second,” she replied.

“Two strikes,” responded Cotton. “The first strike and the last strike,” is all it would take to win, the senator insisted.

That’s pretty confident.

Iran is three times the size of Iraq. Obviously, if Cotton will recall since he was there, the conflict we started with the invasion of Iraq in 2003 took more than a few days to wrap up.

If it weren't for Russia, Iran would be ground zero a decade ago

Look at the positives and not just a negatives with foreign policy. Neocon or not, his contributions to our govt has been a net positive for liberty.

Jules is fine. One of two things... He is being sarcastic, or he has stopped listening to all the bullshit and started looking at everything from his own objective common sense perspective as an individual. If it's the later is he fired? because he is viewing the situation as an objective independent individual?

Bill Kristol’s boy from day one. Kristol recruited him to run. Funny how the teocons turn into simple neocons.

I'm sure he's capable of speaking for himself. His posts today are VERY uncharacteristic of his usual comments so it appears something is going on there.

Yeah... The common sense light is coming on. :) If you would stop reading from the script you might become an intelligent individual and leader of self too.

Go blow yourself shill. I can't believe propaganda about attacking Iran is being allowed on RPF these days and actual statements that Tom friggin Cotton is doing anything for the liberty movement. It's ridiculous. This forum is so shilled up these days it's not funny.

Probably just another sock puppet account of the usual suspects.

Lol, you so funny.

Seriously... :)

Lol. remember that he may have been sarcastic, but if not, he has an individual right against ignorant micromanaging communist peer pressure... Wrong or not... I'll back up his objective personal opinion anytime.

Where are these ignorant micromanaging communist peer pressuring scoundrels??? Name them so Swordsmythe can report them and we can be rid of this scourge!

[phill4paul]

Had Hillary been president a strike on Iran would be a done deal.

lol. Wanted to catch you about something else. That talk we had about Twitter addictions made me take a look at myself. And out of introspect I realized I was doing the same thing. I had to take a break and gather myself. :)

Its just a good thing that the US had their aircraft in the area, with cameras rolling. These Iranians were so discrete, I dont think anyone would have noticed them.



Here's actual footage - they look especially sinister in black and white:

And we'd have already been at war with North Korea too.

Not really, you need to be in the 70's or above to maybe be a net positive to liberty.

The best you can say for him is that he is less horrible than a Demoncrat would have been.

[Swordsmyth]

And we'd have already been at war with North Korea too.
And with Russia over Crimea.
