It has a plan to pre-position aircraft, munitions, and fuel for air- and sea-based mission. It has a plan for maintaining sufficient naval assets in the region to launch a sustained sea and air campaign against a range of Iranian nuclear and military targets. This bill prepares for war. Some will say, Well, it doesn't authorize for war. This bill prepares for war. Even if it's amended, it prepares for war. And we need to vote this bill down because it prepares for a war with Iran, which would be devastating to this country's interests.
