Jack Reed: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I thank the witnesses for their excellent testimony.”

The President has waged this war without public support or congressional consent, and it is far past time for accountability.

Six months later, not a single objective has been achieved. Indeed, he has weakened our position in the Middle East and the world significantly.

When President Trump cuts military exercises to flatter a dictator or punishes South Korea for declining to join a war he started, all of our allies – and adversaries – think that America’s commitments are negotiable.

A blatant abuse of power and taxpayer dollars.
