Sen. Chris Murphy on Iran: It Seems We’re Not Doing Anything But Substitute One Hardline Leader with Another Hardline Leader

‘That in the end, is going to make Iran a place that continues to engage in provocations throughout the region and against the United States’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MURPHY: "So there are all sorts of regimes that I oppose around the world, but that doesn‘t mean that I advocate for the United States military to go in with aerial campaigns and ground campaigns to eliminate that leadership, because what we have vast experience with, especially in the Middle East is that leads to more destabilization, more problems, more threats against the United States. And again, let‘s be clear even though Donald Trump says that his goal is regime change it doesn‘t look as if we‘re going to do anything except substitute one hardline leader with another hard line leader. And that in the end, is going to make Iran a place that continues to engage in provocations throughout the region and against the United States after our military campaign is done. This, in the end, just doesn‘t seem to achieve anything other than waste $1 billion a day and drive up prices for Americans here at home"
