Tom Cotton Demands War With Iran

Sen. Tom Cotton (R) Arkansas, has demanded the United States start a war with Iran in response to US Forces in Syria being hit by Iranian-backed proxies, resulting in the death of three US soldiers and about twenty-five wounded. The incident is the latest in a series of back-and-forth attacks between US forces and militant groups in Syria, though the first time that US forces have gotten the worst of it.

Tom Cotton said "The only answer to these attacks must be devastating military retaliation against Iran's terrorist forces, both in Iran and across the Middle East," said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), a longtime supporter of war with Iran. "Anything less will confirm Joe Biden as a coward unworthy of being commander-in-chief."

So the Senator is calling Biden a coward if he doesn't start the war that Arkansas-born general Wesley Clark has claimed the neo-cons in Washington have been after for decades.

My question is, what are US forces even doing in Syria, besides stealing oil that does not belong to us? President Trump ordered US troops out of Syria, and two of the neo-cons he surrounded himself with resigned rather than carry out the order and the rest simply lied to him about US troop levels in Syria and never carried out the order. 

Did Congress ever authorize US troops to invade Syria and take over the oil-rich section of the country? No. They filtered in without congressional approval and stayed despite Trump giving the order to pull them out. The Deep State has its own agenda and war is on that agenda. The neo-cons (from both major parties) like Cotton are dragging us into a war they have tried to engineer for decades. They have finally got the dead US servicemen they need to drag us into this thing, but the servicemen should have never been there in the first place. It isn't worth the life of one Delta farm boy. We have our own oil, and besides that as Trump said of the place "there is nothing there but sand and death."
