"I'll take swords over plowshares any day of the week." Please come CAPTION Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)

[skip fox]

Tom ("Did I forget to beat my dog today?" ) Cotton is saying: "If history has taught us anything, it's taught us that Iran's recent unprovoked attacks on commercial shipping warrant military strikes of the most unambiguous nature. . . . This was Vietnam's lesson in The Gulf of Tonkin and Iraq's lesson with their WMDs. . . . If we don't learn from history, Margaret, we'll be condemned to repeat it."

1. Okay

Cotton is from Arkansas not Arizona, you might want to make that correction!


And history has shown that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was faked...created to give the US a reason to enter the Vietnam conflict...which means that Cotton is an idiot...and a liar!!!

3. Thank you---Arizona has enough asshole politicians

without adding Tom Cotton to the mix.

4. Correction made.

Of course Cotton didn't bring up Tonkin or WMD's. That was satire.

5. Maybe we should shoot down another Iranian passenger airliner, Mr. Cotton.

In 1988 U.S. Navy ship Vincennes shot the plane down while it was flying over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, along the flight's usual route, killing all 290 people on board, including 66 children. Reagan later issued his "regrets."

6. We cannot stand idly by while our president makes completely unfounded

accusations against Iran. No indeedy! We must bring the full force of our military to bear against Iran! If you can't see the logic in that, well God help you.

7. giving those examples proves he learns nothing from fake history nt
