Ro Khanna

Exactly.

I mean, it's not even taking a substantive view on the issue itself.

I mean, I oppose the war in Iran, but this is simply saying that before you do this, you've got to come to Congress.

And I challenged Representative Gottheimer and Representative Lohler to debate Representative Massey and me.

We could do it on breaking points.

I mean, they just hide behind these press releases instead of having an argument.

I want them to explain to the American public why they think we should have two aircraft carriers near Iran, why they want us to get into a war with a 90 million person country, why they want our money going there and our troops being put at risk there instead of creating jobs here at home and spending on health care here at home.

But they don't want to have that conversation.

So this is why we have to work hard to it.

unify our Democratic caucus.

I ultimately think Cladhyber's position is going to be a fringe position that we can get the vast majority of the caucus behind us, and then we need a few Republicans.

But they achieved their goal of slowing this down by putting that out so that we couldn't call the vote up on Monday, because I don't want to vote where we lose 20, 30 Democrats.

Exactly, it's an excellent point.

Look, the Iraq War was one of the greatest blunders of American foreign policy, but you have to give George W. Bush at least credit that he came to Congress and he sought authorization, and he sent Colin Powell to the UN, and he sought to make a case to the UN, and he followed, at least in the US, the constitutional process.

Now, there are a lot of people who lost their political careers

because they voted for that war in Iraq.

I believe that's why Hillary Clinton never became president.

I believe that's why John Kerry never became president.

I believe that's why Jeb Bush never became president.

But there was a process.
