Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Senate Republicans really just want to go to war with Iran.

“It's true of Benjamin Netanyahu and it's true of them, they want war. This notion of 'Hey we don't like this deal, we want a better deal.' Well how are you going to get one?" Frank said Tuesday in an interview on HuffPost Live. "First of all, they make it harder for the president to get a deal."

Last week 47 Republican senators signed a letter drafted by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) to Iranian ayatollahs warning them that any deal struck with the Obama administration over their country’s nuclear program could be canceled by a future administration or Congress.

"To say that the president isn't really in control and we are, it's totally hypocritical," Frank said. "Under Ronald Reagan and both Bushes, the Republicans used to emphasize the importance of the executive (office). This totally betrays anything people like John McCain have ever said about how to conduct foreign policy."

1. They want to be raptured so they can run away from their evil ways

World war 3 is a wet dream for these people because it's hard to be a sociopath when they see the suffering around them in their red states.

"Iran holds the world's fourth-largest proved crude oil reserves and the world's second-largest natural gas reserves. Despite the country's abundant reserves, Iran's oil production has substantially declined over the past few years, and natural gas production growth has slowed. International sanctions have profoundly affected Iran's energy sector. Sanctions have prompted a number of cancellations or delays of upstream projects, resulting in declining oil production capacity."

What would happen if they went into full production? Who would not like that?

4. We already know this. They are insane.

Maybe it will precipitate a second coming, but not of Jesus. Aliens might be our only hope to stop these freaks from blowing up the planet.

7. Netanyahu's American fan club

needs to take it to the next level: Become Israeli citizens and do their two year stint in the IDF or shut the fuck up.
