No More 'Free Ride' for Iran Under Mattis

Gen. James Mattis |
'He certainly is [tough],' Peters said during an appearance on Fox Business Network. 'Gen. Mattis understands the Middle East. He served there in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and contrary to that 'mad dog' nonsense, he is a very level-headed, firm guy.
'He doesn't want to go to war if we don't have to, but if we go to war, he wants to win. Iranian regime leadership should be very, very afraid. Their free ride is over.'
The Washington Free Beacon posted a clip of Peters' remarks on its YouTube account.
Peters has been critical of President Barack Obama and his foreign policy, including the controversial Iran nuclear deal. He told Fox he welcomes Iran's recent threats to the U.S.
'Bring it on,' Peters said. 'The Iranians are so used to getting their way on all things. They have virtually dictated our Middle East policy. Obama has been clinging to this awful nuclear deal so doggedly because it's his last standing foreign policy legacy that he's allowed Iran to run rough shot.
