So it seems to be
welcome news that
Iran has declared
the Strait of Hormuz open.
But what about
Rep. Pocan's comment
that this war is
chaos on top of chaos?
Are you satisfied
with the war planning
that went into this
and the moves since?
You know, last weekend
I was on one of the
Sunday morning shows
and the host started
the entire interview by saying
that I was supportive of
the war in Iran
and I pushed back immediately
by saying, 'No.'
I am absolutely opposed
to the war
the Iranian ayatollahs
declared on America
47 years ago.
The fact that they have hundreds
probably thousands of
Americans' blood on their hands
and obviously tens of thousands
of their own citizens' blood
on their hands.
So what I am supportive of
is ending that war
once and for all.
Ending the threat
ending the menace
and ending the
any possibility that they
could obtain a nuclear weapon
which could be
existential to America.
So yeah, it is war.
Messy.
Is it chaotic?
Sure.
I don't like war.
But
we had to act before
we weren't able to act
before they became
a nuclear power
before they had
so many missiles
and so many drones.
That taking this action
would have
devastated the region.
It's just been
destructive enough.
But again
I support President Trump's
very difficult decision.
