The Jan. 12 letter “Hasty action may prove harmful” claims it was wrong for President Donald Trump not to consult Congress before issuing the order to kill Iran’s Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., disagrees, saying that Soleimani “was a sadistic terrorist mastermind and there is no country in the Middle East whose citizens have not suffered from his depredations.”
“If you’ve got a chance to take a mastermind like Qassem Soleimani off the battlefield, you take it,” he said.
