Rep. Mike Lawler: The Iranian People Should Rise Up and Reclaim Their Country

EXCERPT:

LAWLER: “Look, we are not going to send U.S. troops in. We are not seeking to force regime change. But I think the president's point was very simple, which is, if the Iranian people, after 46 years of living under this tyranny, under the oppression of the Ayatollah and his terrorist regime, if after 46 years the Iranian people are going to rise up and reclaim their country, this is the moment with a weakened Iran, with their air defenses obliterated, with their nuclear program on the brink, this is the moment by which the Iranian people may have the best shot to secure their own freedom. And if that happens, there will not be anyone around the globe who feels bad about the Ayatollah and his regime collapsing.”
