Frustrated Senate Republicans say the Trump administration has largely kept them in the dark about a possible military confrontation with Iran.
What GOP lawmakers already know, however, has them on edge. Trump has deployed an aircraft carrier strike group, a Patriot missile defense battery and an Air Force bomber task force to the Middle East, while the State Department has ordered a partial evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
A few legislators have received briefings, but many can only guess at the extent of the threat and where a ramp up in combat forces may lead.
I dont think its fair for us to walk around wondering, said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of the Senates leading voices on global security issues.

Maybe if you kiss Trump's hiney a bit more Lindsey he'll give you an answer. Then again maybe he feels even you don't deserve one. Narcissists are like that.

Were screwed once Lindsey declares debate is over and Collins expresses regret.
