Do you think, one, would you have been more supportive and clear objectives that said, we're in, we're out, this is a military operation, not a war.
Would you personally have been potentially supportive?
And do you think that this might've had a greater likelihood of success and that we wouldn't be in quote, unquote, you know, this feels like the definition of a quagmire.
And I would argue that what has happened here, there is some justification for a military operation, but not getting any support from Congress or our allies basically doomed this from the get-go.
Would you personally have been more likely to be supportive of some sort of military action had he enlisted or at least consulted Congress and enlisted some allies?
And you don't worry that if we exit now, we, one, leave our allies sort of naked and afraid.
We broke it, they have to fix it.
And two, that we suffer from sort of a glass jaw syndrome where despite $1.4 trillion of your proposed military budget, we become the ultimate paper tiger that a decent amount of pain, or some would argue relative to other conflicts, not that much pain, and we cut and run.
You're not, I mean, I think that your arguments are really,
I don't know.
I have a ton of veracity, compelling, hard to argue with around the incompetence that's gotten us here and now.
But if we were to exit, who takes this seriously when we show up with any sort of military campaign and doesn't believe that just inflict a little bit of pain and they'll run?
And what do we say to our allies there?
We've inflamed Iran.
We've put them in harm's way.
But we almost never disagree.
And we're always learning.
Appreciate how generous you've been with your time, Senator.
The race to replace Governor Newsom recently, Congressman Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign, resigning from Congress following sexual assault allegations.
And we've seen multiple cases like this across Congress, including the resignation of Tony Gonzalez.
