14. Senator Tom Cotton to Meet with Defense Contractors today-this traitor is owned
Tue Mar 10, 2015, 08:27 AM
Mar 2015

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/03/09/upon-launching-effort-scuttle-iran-deal-senator-tom-cotton-meets-defense-contractors/
<snip>
Tomorrow, 24 hours later, Cotton will appear at an “Off the Record and strictly Non-Attribution” event with the National Defense Industrial Association, a lobbying and professional group for defense contractors.

The NDIA is composed of executives from major military businesses such as Northrop Grumman, L-3 Communications, ManTech International, Boeing, Oshkosh Defense and Booz Allen Hamilton, among other firms.

Cotton strongly advocates higher defense spending and a more aggressive foreign policy. As The New Republic’s David Ramsey noted, “Pick a topic — Syria, Iran, Russia, ISIS, drones, NSA snooping — and Cotton can be found at the hawkish outer edge of the debate…During his senate campaign, he told a tele-townhall that ISIS and Mexican drug cartels joining forces to attack Arkansas was an ‘urgent problem.'”

On Iran, Cotton has issued specific calls for military intervention. In December he said Congress should consider supplying Israel with B-52s and so-called “bunker-buster” bombs — both items manufactured by NDIA member Boeing — to be used for a possible strike against Iran.

once in a while. The NY Post is the Murdoch rag that rarely gets anything right.

Undermining the State Department might just haunt these sanctimonious servants of Koch Industries, Israel, and the MIC. They stepped over a very well delineated Separation of Powers line with the threat contained in that letter of nullifying any agreement.

Stepping between the State Dept. and a foreign power is not their job. Approving or rejecting a final agreement is their job and until the agreement is finalized and presented to them, they don't have anything to say about it, constitutionally speaking.

This is what happens when the Democratic Party abandons labor and nobody votes except the conservatives, we get a bunch of ignorant clowns whose only reason to keep breathing is SPITE.

Today it is only moderately liberal.
It used to be if you are a liberal you read the News, conservatives read the Post. There was always controversy about who had the best sports, so many bought both papers. That is back when they cost a dime each.

The only time they MIGHT run something about it, is if a scantily clad woman were involved. Then it would be on page 6.

There is a serious mentality out there that these Tea Party crazies want their own United States separate from everyone else where no taxes are paid, no laws infringe on their personal being unless of course if they aren't straight white male land owners (then who cares).

And the religious fundies love this because anything that can start a war related to Israel means we are one step closer to Armageddon because all of that is suppose to happen around Israel.

The idiots are celebrating this headline because well they are stupid. Anyone with a decent IQ know what these traitors did was try to instigate a war. One day I hope the voters who didn't vote wake up and realize what they have brought upon themselves by not showing up at the polls.

Just like the GOP got Ken Star appointed, because they didn't

They rallied to support for their nonsense . Surly with the real issue of
treason and the possibility that the GOP a plotting a War, we can rally the
American people, to stand up for their lives and their children's lives
that will be sent to this war.

All democrats would have to do is stay focus on this one issue everyday, until
like the GOP(like small brats get their way) democrats can get their way on behalf of
the American lives.

We are losing our form of governance due to run away Presidents like Bush and now Obama. One is no better then the other, both tried to rule over an whole nation of people with little regards to the common welfare of all citizens not only those belonging to one party over the other. People our nation is in some serious trouble here...President Obama has done far worst then President Bush who set all this up to begin with.

We should not hope for one person to tell a whole nation what he is going to order us all to do, governance of our nation should be done thru all 3 branches of our government frame. We are losing America behind these parties and their crowned rulers they keep putting in place to take her from us all. Wake up and think Country before party or we are doom to keep losing her behind a party system which could care less about any of us, Wake Up people!
