"The NDIA is composed of executives from major military businesses such as Northrop Grumman, L-3 Communications, ManTech International, Boeing, Oshkosh Defense and Booz Allen Hamilton, among other firms.

Cotton strongly advocates higher defense spending and a more aggressive foreign policy. As The New Republic’s David Ramsey noted, “Pick a topic — Syria, Iran, Russia, ISIS, drones, NSA snooping — and Cotton can be found at the hawkish outer edge of the debate…During his senate campaign, he told a tele-townhall that ISIS and Mexican drug cartels joining forces to attack Arkansas was an ‘urgent problem.'”

On Iran, Cotton has issued specific calls for military intervention. In December he said Congress should consider supplying Israel with B-52s and so-called “bunker-buster” bombs — both items manufactured by NDIA member Boeing — to be used for a possible strike against Iran."

1. Cotton is the new pea-brained Cruz in the U.S. Senate.

4. My thoughts exactly....

Because campaign money is now "hidden" by going thru PACS, it is hard to find who was behind large donations.
but.. I did find an excellent source of background info. for each Congressional member.

Cotton will reap his reward when he leaves Congress and is hired by the Defense Industry to a do nothing position for big bucks a year.

3. Israel. Always in the middle of every meddle, especially around election time. We all know it.

Strange how The Media "forgot" to mention the secret meeting with the Arms Merchants and how they get secret meetings but regular folks.....fuck the regular folks without deep Adelson-like pockets.

Puppets on a string have more freedom than GOP politicians.
