Sen. Chris Murphy on Iran War: ‘A Disaster of Epic Proportions’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: “We still have had no hearings in front of Congress that the public can see. And I think that’s pretty simple, because if the president did what the Constitution says, come to Congress to get authorization for this war, he wouldn’t get it, because the American people would demand that their member of Congress, their senator, whether they be a Republican or Democrat, vote no, because this is a disaster of epic proportions. It’s already getting Americans killed. It’s driving up prices here at home. Harder line leadership, more antithetical to U.S. interests, are strengthening inside Iran. And there’s really no way that we’re going to be able to destroy their nuclear program, because most of it is buried underground, unless we mount a ground invasion, which would be even more disastrous and more unpopular. This has just been a debacle, a 10-day debacle.”
