Huh? Tom Cotton says Iran must be stopped because ‘they already control Tehran’

[A1Kaid]

Sen. Tom Cotton will not stop until Iran gets bombed. He is a very hawkish politician. As for the Tehran remark I think he just misspoke.

An imaginary interview with cotton, published 3 days before his mistake in the first post:

I-ran and I-raq: what's in a letter? | World news | The Guardian

Senator Cotton recently defended the controversial letter on MSNBC. When it was suggested that his letter amounted to a kind of cooperation with the Iranian hardliners, he replied, “There are nothing but hardliners in Tehran.”

Host: Senator, do you really believe that they are all hardliners? Are they more hardline than Isis? Don’t you think that, all things considered, an agreement with Iran would be better for the Middle East?

Cotton: I think that if Iran wanted to stop Isis, they would. Why did they have to let it get this far? They found Saddam Hussein’s picture in Isis’s trenches. I saw the pictures myself. This shows that they support their former leader. So how can they say that these people aren’t connected to Iran?

Host: How does the existence of photos of Saddam Hussein in Isis trenches prove their connection to Iran?

Cotton: He was their former leader, so it’s natural that many people there still love him. Sure, we executed him, but many still love him.

Host: The Iranians were at war with Saddam Hussein; how can they love him?

Cotton: That is simply their propaganda, which Obama has willingly accepted. If the Iranians were against Isis they could stop them in a heartbeat. They have plenty of missiles so it would be no problem for them.

Host: But Iran has to get permission from Iraq to attack Isis...

Cotton: Don’t switch up the names on me. You keep saying Iran and Iraq, I’ve been hearing these names for a few years and let me tell you, you can’t solve the problem by just swapping a ‘q’ for an ‘n.’ The enemy is the enemy. That’s what Netanyahu was talking about. He even showed us a picture of the atom bomb, but many ridiculed him. An atom bomb!

Host: Senator, you think Iran and Iraq are the same thing?

Cotton: Well, why do you act like they’re two separate entities?

Host: Because they’re two separate countries who went to war with each other, Senator.

Cotton: Which one did we attack? It was Iran, wasn’t it...

Host: No, Senator; it was Iraq.

Cotton: Then why did we kill Saddam Hussein?

Host: Because Hussein was the president of Iraq...

Cotton: I don’t get it! I mean, if I knew Hebrew I could look at these writings from Zarif and tell you why Iranians are such liars...
Host: Iranians don’t speak Hebrew, Senator.

Cotton: What difference does it make! Iraqis, Iranians, they’re both helping Isis in order to fulfill their ultimate goal of reviving the Ottoman Empire and restarting the Crusades!

Host: I think you’re talking about Turkey now.

Cotton: Don’t start piling the countries on me, now. Another day, another name I have to remember. All we’re saying is that the Middle East is a mess; let’s just finish it once and for all.

But not as imaginary as I thought a few days earlier.

He didnt misspoke... thats really his geographical education.

About bombing Tehran... take that to your grave ... nuclear deal and prosperity of Iran is very close.

These village idiots have been elected by the Tea party faction of the Republican party. They don't know much about Foreign policy, geography or history since Bible teaches them all they need to know. Whatever their Zionist handlers tell them they parrot to the media with a minimum amount of understanding the issues.

Proof these morons get these jobs purely from connections.

Proof that some people simply cannot articulate well regardless of their education.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Sunday cited Iran’s control of their own capital, Tehran, as a reason that the country had to be stopped from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

In a interview on CBS, Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer pointed out that Cotton’s letter to Iran, which was also signed by 46 other Republican senators, may have undermined President Barack Obama’s ability to get a nuclear deal with Iran.

“Let’s say the deal falls through, then what?” Schieffer wondered.

Cotton replied by quoting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The alternative to a bad deal is a better deal,” the freshman senator insisted. “The Iranians frequently bluff to walk away from the table. If they bluff this week, call their bluff. Congress stands ready to impose much more severe sanctions.”

“Moreover, we have to stand up to Iran’s attempts to drive for regional dominance,” he continued. “They already control Tehran and, increasingly, they control Damascus and Beirut and Baghdad. And now, Sana’a as well.”

“They do all that without a nuclear weapon. What they would do without a nuclear weapon.”

Cotton told Schieffer that he had “no regrets at all” about sending the letter to Iran.

“If the president and secretary of state were intent on driving a hard bargain, they would be able to point to this letter and say, ‘They’re right — as Secretary Kerry said on Wednesday in his Senate testimony — any lasting deal needs to be approved by Congress.’”

“The fact that President Obama doesn’t see this letter as a way to get more leverage at the negotiating table just underscores that he is not negotiating for the hardest deal possible,” Cotton concluded. “He is negotiating a deal that is going to put Iran on the path to a bomb. If not today or tomorrow, then 10 years from now.”
Huh? Tom Cotton says Iran must be stopped because ‘they already control Tehran’

@haman10 @kollang @SOHEIL @ResurgentIran @mohsen @Daneshmand @rahi2357 @yavar @rmi5



This is the same retard who sent a letter to Iran trying to "educate" Iran about America political system.
It just goes to show that these slaves are just braindead morons talking out of their a$$ to impress the Jewish lobby.What an epic failure by this clown.

LOL

The real question is how did this person managed to make such a gaffe

 

[IndoCarib]

He misspoke, maybe you would like to believe that he is misinformed about geography but you would only be kidding yourself. I think he should be investigated on possible charges of treason for writing that letter to Iran. Under US constitution President has primary authority to conduct and manage foreign relations, and this Senator crossed the line in my opinion.

 

[Daneshmand]

Hilarious. But then you have to realize that he is representing these people, so no surprise:

 

[libertad]

This message the has been brought to you by the emergency commitee for Israel. He got nearly a million $ from them, so he's going to work for them. They own him.
