Political Quotes

“Americans do not want and cannot afford another war in the Middle East. On Saturday morning, Americans woke up to the shocking news that our Nation was at war again in the Middle East. There was no public justification, no vote to authorize this war in Congress. Why this war? Why now? If they say it is about Iran developing a nuclear weapon, just last year, President Trump claimed Iran's nuclear program had been completely and totally obliterated. In fact, Iran is further from perfecting a nuclear weapon now than it has been in years. Some claim it is to disable air ballistic missile capability, but Iran doesn't have a single ballistic missile that can reach the mainland United States, and we don't expect them to for many years. Is this about terrorism? It is true that Iran has helped finance and supply groups like Hamas and Hezbollah over the years, but they too are much weaker, much less capable after 2 years of conflict. Why now? Well, Secretary Rubio told us himself. He said that Israel was going to strike Iran, which would have triggered Iranian strikes on U.S. forces in the region. Rather than pick up the phone and tell Benjamin Netanyahu to stand down, the President of the United States buckled and decided to join their war. How is this America First? For 25 years, a generation of American servicemembers and their families have sacrificed so much because of regime-change wars in the Middle East.”
