Topic: Jr Neocon Sen. stated publicly: "Our policy must b clear: regime change n Iran." (Read 985 times)

Obama isn't the government or the nation, so although I generally dislike republicans, I fail to see how a doing something that undermines Obama is actually treasonous, especially when both the executive and legislative branches are jointly responsible for foreign policy. If democrats and republicans resorted to crying "treason" every time one of them was obstructionist of the other party's policies, there'd be no more democrats or republicans left. (Which doesn't sound terrible, now that I mention it...)

cotton but hang the monkey king too for putting israel ahead of his own country

Cotton for sure.  Well, Cotton and several other republicans.  Boener should be tried for treason too.  There has been so much obstruction to government by those who are supposed to govern us that there are some people who deserve prison time for their wanton neglect.  Take a survey, I bet man would agree that actions of the Senate and House have been traitorous. 

I wonder why the Senator is bringing religion into this? And the focus on protecting Israel's interests is unnecessary.
This tendency of the US to meddle in the affairs of other nations has brought a lot of misery to this world.

Regime change always works so brilliantly anywhere we deploy it, especially the last time we overthrew the Iranian government, so what could possibly go wrong?

Which?  Obama or Cotton?

hang this traitor

NERMEEN SHAIKH: Well, I want to turn to comments made by Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton, the senator who spearheaded the letter to Iran. Just weeks into his first term in the Senate, he warned against a nuclear deal with Iran while speaking at the Heritage Foundation in Washington.


SEN. TOM COTTON: First, the goal of our policy must be clear: regime change in Iran. We cannot and will not be safe as long as Islamist despots rule in Iran. The policy of the United States should therefore be to support regime opponents and promote a constitutional government at peace with the United States, Israel and the world. The United States should cease all appeasement, conciliation and concessions towards Iran, starting with the sham nuclear negotiations. Certain voices call for congressional restraint, urging Congress not to act now, lest Iran walk away from the negotiating table, undermining the fabled yet always absent moderates in Iran. But the end of these negotiations isn’t an unintended consequence of congressional action. It is very much an intended consequence, a feature, not a bug, so to speak. Third, congressional actions should start with crippling new sanctions against Iran. These sanctions should be immediate. They should not be contingent on further negotiations with Iran. On the contrary, Iran is achieving, through slow motion, all that it might want in a final deal, exploiting the Obama administration’s desperation to keep the negotiations alive and for a deal, any deal. It’s time for the responsible adults in both parties of Congress to stop this farce.
