The below listed article, posted on the special Operations Speaks Web site, it provides details of what an endorsed and elected Combat Veteran For Congress, Senator Thomas B. Cotton, Cpt-USA (R-AR-Senate) said with regard to the International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Treaty (called an Agreement by Obama).  

Senator Cotton has been a leading opponent of that very dangerous agreement, originally Hillary Clinton entered into negotiations with Iran in 2008, and John Kerry completed the agreement when he replaced her as Secretary of State.  The Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement has been termed the worst agreement in US History by the Republican Presidential field of candidates.  

Obama has been siding with Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, who has been murdering thousands of Americans for over 35 years, while opposing the United States’ Middle East Sunni allies over the last 70 years, including Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrein, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Morocco.  At the same time Iran has been sheltering Al Q’ieda and the Taliban terrorist fighters in Iran, the leaders of Iran have been leading demonstrators on a weekly basis shouting  “Death to America”, and providing the Taliban with IEDs to kill and maim thousands of US military personnel in Afghanistan.  While that was going on, Obama was facilitating Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons, surface to air missiles, and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) that will be able to eventually strike the United States.  

Senator Cotton said, “Obama’s disregard for the treaty process is the height of hubris,” he continued  “He mistook his desire for a legacy for a vital national interest.”  Senator Cotton added. “It [is] bad precedent to allow a nuclear arms control agreement with a sworn enemy to go into effect without even a bare majority of support.”

Senator Cotton’s remarks followed the Senate’s second vote by Democrats to block a resolution disapproving of Obama’s dangerous historic pact with Iran giving Iran nuclear weapons.  The Senate voted 56-42 for the measure, short of the 60 votes needed to move forward.  Senator McConnell could have passed it, using the nuclear option that Harry Reid used against the Republicans in the Senate, where a bare 51 vote majority could have rejected the blocking Democratic vote.  It appears McConnell refused to do so because of a the commitment he made to Boeing for large financial payoff they made to him.  

Senator Cotton, has been a vocal critic of the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement from the onset, he wrote an open leader to the Iranian leader earlier this year asserting that Congress can void the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement’s details at any time.  Senator Cotton added that any Commander-in-Chief  who replaces Obama can revoke the Iran deal at any time.

Senator Tom Cotton, Cpt-USA (R-AR-Senate) joined the four below listed other endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress in warning, collectively that the dangerous International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement poses an unacceptable National Security Risk for the nation,  which included the following separate warnings:  

Cong Ryan Zinke, Cdr-USN (Ret) (SEAL) (R-MT-1) called the Iranian Agreement a very dangerous agreement that should have been only approved as a Treaty by the Senate.  

Cong Steve Russell, LTC-USA (Ret) Ranger) (R-OK-5) said that Obama acted without the consent of the people in approving the Iranian Agreement.   

Cong Lee Zeldin, Maj-USAR (JAG) (R-NY-1) exposed Obama's dishonest claims about 24/7 inspections of Iran's Nuclear Weapons Development Program that will never happen.   

Cong Jeff Denham, SSgt-USAF (R-CA-10) warned because of the dangerous Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement that Obama approved, that “Our nation faces greater dangers and higher stakes than ever before.”

Even before the International Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement was approved by the US Congress, Iran was violating previous sanctions that restricted international travel by MajGen Ghasem Suleimani, Commander of the Quads Force.  That sanction was put in place by the UN,  because Suleimani was responsible for killing thousands of western military personnel.  Iran violated that UN sanction and let Suleimani travel to Russia to negotiate the sale of Advance S-300 Surface-to-Air Missiles, to be purchased with the $150 billion dollars that Obama will be releasing to Iran, which they will use to fund the acquisition of weapons with which to destroy Israel.

Sen. Tom Cotton: Iran nuclear deal a product of Obama's 'hubris'

By Mark Hensch

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said on Tuesday night that President Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran prioritizes his quest for a personal legacy above the nation’s needs.

“Obama’s disregard for the treaty process is the height of hubris,” Cotton said, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

“He mistook his desire for a legacy for a vital national interest,” he added. “It [is] bad precedent to allow a nuclear arms control agreement with a sworn enemy to go into effect without even a bare majority of support.”

Cotton’s remarks follow the Senate’s second vote against a resolution disapproving of Obama’s historic pact with Iran.

The Senate voted 56-42 for the measure, short of the 60 votes needed to move forward.

Cotton argued on Tuesday night, after the vote, that Obama is mistaken on what presidential actions are best for preserving his place in history.

“Future presidents will see that securing the advice and consent of the Senate is a truly secure legacy,” he said.

Cotton added that he will “put other countries on notice” that any commander in chief after Obama may revoke the Iran deal at any time.

The Obama administration announced it had secured its landmark diplomatic agreement with Tehran in June. The accord eases economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for greater restrictions on its atomic energy capabilities.

GOP critics say the deal presents a national security risk, citing Iran’s purported untrustworthiness during negotiations over its nuclear arms research.

Cotton, a vocal critic of the deal, wrote an open leader to Iranian leadership earlier this year asserting that Congress can void its details at any time.

The 2016 Republican presidential field has also overwhelmingly criticized the pact’s content and restrictions.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, for example, has vowed that he would tear up the agreement on his first day in office. GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump, meanwhile, has said he would negotiate a better version that is more favorable to American interests.

Secretary of State John Kerry led U.S. efforts at the negotiating table with Iran over 18 months of negotiations in Vienna.

The United Kingdom, China, France, Germany and Russia were all also key players in securing the deal.
