"SNIP................
And if that wasn't enough bluster for one communique, Cotton's follow-up interviews made it clear that Tehran must capitulate or face military force - apparent proof that 430,000 Arkansans elected a Commander in Chief while nobody else was watching last November.
Cotton, known to New Jerseyans as the guy who voted against Hurricane Sandy relief because Arkansas "should not have to bail out the Northeast," has since been denounced by members of his own party. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said it best: "We ought to support the negotiations going on," he said, "and this effort does not do that."
But whether Cotton's letter is credible is another matter, given that its author cannot attain that standard.
He is not a "traitor" as some claim, but Cotton is a novice with pitifully shallow motives. He is a Neocon monstrosity out of central casting, someone who calls Iraq a "just and noble war," who wants to use the espionage act against journalists, and even campaigned on a baseless fear that ISIS "could infiltrate our defenseless border and attack us right here in Arkansas."

(43,049 posts)1. Why do I suspect that he was given the job...
so he would take the fall-- leaving other, and possibly more dangerous, Republicans to look like elder statesmen by comparison.
Haven't we seen this script before?

causing others to fall.
