Rep. Chip Roy

We cannot blink.

We've got to take this on squarely, because it is a war raging for the soul of Western civilization.

Well, I haven't been able to study that.

I saw the news.

I need to make a few phone calls today, so I'm always careful about how I speak about things, so I always go talk to folks.

But, comma, however, I don't believe that we ought to be looking to engage in getting involved with war.

I supported the president and what happened with the bunker busters and dropping the bombs and taking out their advancement of nuclear power.

Right now, I think we need to be resolved and stand with the people of Iran who are pushing back on their tyrannical leadership and offer that kind of support in that way.

But we start engaging in war.

I've got concerns.

I need to go look at it, talk to the experts.

I don't want to talk about what the president's doing without doing that.

But look, we need to be very, very careful.

We've had over two decades of this engagement and conflict in the Middle East.

There's a war raging right here in America.

There's a war being waged against our way of life, and the Islamists are trying to do it here.

So let's start here and work out.

That's why I support the president in the Western Hemisphere, knocking out cartels.

I supported the Maduro move.

I don't want them having the Soviet Union – I'm sorry, the Russia Freudian slip to my 80s youth.
