Last week, the Obama administration and Iran penned an outline (framework? framework of an outline?) which laid out a historic nuclear deal arrangement. But! The outline has given Congress some pause. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas), for one, doesn’t believe these negotiations should have been made “to begin with.”
Here’s what Cotton said the ideal response would be: “Something more along the lines of what President Clinton did in December 1998 … several days of air and naval bombing against Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction facilities.”
Later, Stewart tried to make sense of Congress’ priorities: “When it comes to bombing countries or sending advisers to countries or drone-striking countries, Congress is a girl that just can’t say no. But when it comes to cooperating with countries, treaties — ‘Hold on there, mister! What you doin’ there?'”
