And we haven't heard from President Trump in an address on television, for example, something you might expect after an operation of this scale.
So much of this is being handled on social media from his resort in Mar-a-Lago.
Well, I think it's fair to say, even if you have Democrats on the Intelligence Committee, the Foreign Affairs Committee, for example, saying, look, Iran is a threat.
There's concern about the way in which this is being carried out.
No congressional approval.
I mean, we've heard that from Republicans as well.
Thomas Massey saying that this is an unauthorized act of war.
It didn't go through Congress.
Now, Ro Khanna, a Democratic lawmaker, is saying that he wants lawmakers to come to Washington this week to put their name on the record with regards to how they stand on this campaign.
And what they'd wanted to do last week, the Democrats, was force a war powers resolution.
So force that vote last week, limiting the kind of strikes that the U.S.
can carry out without authorization.
That didn't come to pass.
And now we've seen what has been unfolding over this weekend.
Now, we also heard from Mark Warner.
He is the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
And what he was saying was, show us the intelligence when it comes to the threat to Americans.
You know, kind of hearkening back to questions from Iraq, for example.
But we know in justification, Donald Trump, he harked back to 1979 in that eight minute video.
He said, look, Iran has long been a threat to Americans.
