Fox News Cuts Off Mike Lee As He Rips Trump's Iran Briefing

From the article:


The briefing lasted only 75 minutes whereupon the briefers left. This is not the biggest problem I have with the briefing which I would add was probably the worst briefing I have seen at least on a military issue in the nine years I have served in the quite senate.

What I found so distressing about that briefing was that one of the messages we received from the briefers was do not debate, do not discuss the issue of the appropriateness of further military intervention against and that if you do you’ll be emboldening Iran. I find it insulting and not personally but to the office that each of the 100 senators in this building happens to hold.

….It is not acceptable for officials within the executive branch of government, I don’t care whether with the CIA, with the Department of Defense or otherwise, to come in and tell us we can’t debate and discuss the appropriateness of military intervention against Iran. It’s wrong. Every time they pull a stunt like this, I’m willing to consider and introduce any and every war powers act resolution.

fact based.

Understand that Murdoch Media is all in with Regime change and Bombing Iran back to the stone age. Refuse to listen to or view anything Murdoch.

BTW,Bloomberg TV is now full on Anti Iranian talking points especially the Orange Anus talking points.
