Now - Cotton and McCain-already siding with Netanyahu on abandoning the 2-state solution

[kpete]

Senate Republicans who welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's attack on President Barack Obama's efforts to strike a nuclear deal with Iran are dismissing his about-face on support for a Palestinian state, a central under-pinning of U.S. policy.

"I think to some degree that's just a statement of fact. There is not going to be a Palestinian State in the short-term because there is not a serious interlocutor on the Palestinian side," Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton said Tuesday during a breakfast with Bloomberg News. "Hamas is still in control of Gaza, Israel had to fight a weeks-long war last summer because they were shooting rockets and mortars and missiles from Gaza into Israel's territory. So I think it's simply a statement of fact for the time being that there's not going to be a Palestinian state."

Cotton and other Republicans said Netanyahu's position merely reflects the situation in the region.

Arizona Senator John McCain, who said he has "always favored'' a two-state solution, defended Netanyahu's right to change his mind.

1. Both of these thugs

proudly defend their actions in criminal wars of aggression (Vietnam and Iraq).

2. What can one expect from a southern racist? He's been brought up in

that 'old-time religion' and thinks we need to make sure there's a war in the Middle East.

3. What is the Republican rational that says going from apartheid

to the genocide of the peoples of Palestine is a legitimate policy?

4. Says John McSame & Tehran Tom.

5. Because they want WAR! WAR! WAR! It's a get-rich-quick scheme for Congresscritters.

I'm certain many Democrats would want another war, too, and should a Republican find his way into the White House, you can be certain they'll rally around him and his warmongering just as they had in 2002. Since "the people" don't like war, let's not allow another Republican to infest the White House again.

6. Pathetic apologists for Bibi. Interesting to me is how Cotton phrased his statement..it reads

as a clean up for Netanyahu. In the short term? Did I miss something where Bibi
made such a clarification?

Disgusting war mongers and thieves...aka Republicans.

7. Hey...McCain was ranked 893 out of 898 at Annapolis where his Admiral daddy got him in

we can't count on sound thinking and decision making from a flunky like crash McCain. So don't expect much more than 'follow the leader' from this guy.
