100% Cotton, Cont'd.



Apparently, Arkansas wingnut (and the author of the traitorous letter to Iran's ayatollahs attempting to undermine the multi-national nuclear negotiations with Iran) Sen. Tom "Ear to Ear" Cotton (the "Metternich of the Ozarks") apparently didn't get enough of warfare during his stint in Iraq.  The slap-happy warrior thinks that an air and naval war with Iran would be a cakewalk over in a matter of days just like, you know, Iraq.

His assessment of the ease of destroying Iran's nuclear infrastructure flies in the face of military and intelligence experts, who warn that a military attack on the infrastructure would prompt a widespread regional war and an eventual increase in Iran's commitment to constitute a nuclear weapon (now estimated at a couple of months) even if they have to take it underground.  It would also unite Iranians, regardless of their political stripe, behind the ayatollahs in a "patriotic" resistance movement.  Count on it.
