Roger Marshall on Saying that It Would Take Iran Years to Restart Nuclear Program After Last Year’s Attack: ‘I Was Wrong’
EXCERPT:
MARSHALL: "Look, I was wrong. They were restarting their nuclear program. That's what — that's been — the reports out of the White House that they were actually starting their nuclear program. But I think it goes way beyond this. And you're absolutely right, there is a cost of war. And I mourn the loss of those seven soldiers with all my heart, and pray for those families and the 140 that are injured, eight of them are serious. Absolutely, I take that -- take that to heart. I hate war, once again. But I think if you think back that the Iranians killed 241 Marines — I had been in medical school then — before that, they kidnapped and held hostage 60-some Americans for 444 days. Over the past several years, the 160 attacks by Iranians on American forces as well. There is a price to pay for freedom, unfortunately, and I appreciate soldiers being willing to do that."
