Republicans; Tom Cotton will try to block Iran deal at any cost. He'd prefer war.

Psst, dude, Iran was already on the path to a nuclear weapon. This makes that path longer.

But then, Cotton isn't speaking to the truth, he's making a pitch to scare voters. Nowhere is that more evident than when, in the same interview, he repeatedly insisted that President Obama had set up "the ultimate false choice" when he suggested that the options were, as Jake Tapper paraphrased, "this deal, or the status quo, or war." But what does Cotton want? Not war, he insisted. But military action that is not war ... that he'd be good with. Calling it war is a false choice, according to Cotton, but bombing Iran could be in a separate category. Because Iran would totally not respond badly to being bombed by the United States.

This is zealotry on display.
