Illinois Sen. Kirk. A Hawk on Iran

Sen. Kirk takes a very hawkish perspective on Iran.

http://www.salon.com/2013/11/21/exclusive_gop_senator_unloads_in_private_call/
"On the call, Kirk gave a frank account of his cooperation with the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee to ram new sanctions through the Senate. He delivered unusually strident attacks against top U.S. diplomats on the call, citing their main objective in talks as “desperately want(ing) a New York Times article saying how great they are.” Kirk also vowed to supporters to pursue an individual line of communication with international nuclear inspectors working on Iran to verify that Iran would keep to any agreement it struck with world powers in Geneva."

I think that we now have the best chance of a more peaceful relationship with Iran. We don't need Kirk to mess it up.

I wonder who he thinks he represents, anyhow?
