I want to thank Representative Gabbard for offering this amendment for one simple reason: it is going to stop the march to war in Iran, another blunder like Iraq. I don't understand our foreign policy. It seems that the qualification, in John Bolton's case, is to be wrong for the last 25 years, and then that makes you an expert--wrong about Iraq and wrong about the neoconservative philosophy that got us into this mess. This amendment, forget all the details; we are rushing again to another historic blunder, and this Congress needs to stop that. I respect Representative Gabbard for putting this forward so we don't make another blunder in our foreign policy.
