Vice President Joe Biden strongly denounced the missive as offensive and \u201cbeneath the dignity of an institution I revere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cotton responded by saying Mr. Biden \u201chas been wrong about nearly every foreign policy and national security decision in the last 40 years,\u201d the Examiner reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I remembered Mr Polis&#8217; name from somewhere and I remembered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/polisduncan11.jpg\">he was endorsed<\/a> for Congress by phony Marine captain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=10619\">Rick Strandlof<\/a>, so that made me less angry at him, since Polis, who has never served this country in uniform, can&#8217;t tell the difference between a phony gay Marine Captain with a reattached digit from a real veteran, like Tom Cotton, you know a real jump-qualified, Ranger-qualified infantry officer.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not particularly fond of what those 47 Senators did, but I don&#8217;t remember the Democrat Congressmen being critical of Nancy Pelosi and of John Kerry when each went to Syria in spite of the Bush Administration&#8217;s warnings against it. And that one kind of blew up in our face, didn&#8217;t it? I don&#8217;t remember anyone complaining about the three Democrat congressmen who stood on the roof of Saddam Hussein&#8217;s palace and declared Hussein to be more trustworthy than the President.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=37400\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Pelosis-Munich-moment-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"Pelosi&#039;s Munich moment\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-37400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Pelosis-Munich-moment-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Pelosis-Munich-moment.jpg 490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=37399\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37399\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/John-Kerrys-Munich-Moment-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"John Kerry&#039;s Munich Moment\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-37399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/John-Kerrys-Munich-Moment-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/John-Kerrys-Munich-Moment-414x333.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/John-Kerrys-Munich-Moment.jpg 634w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Sorry, I was just expecting a little intellectual honesty and consistency  from Congress and that probably won&#8217;t happen.
