Fmr. Army Acting Sec. Patrick Murphy on Iran: We Were Promised No New Wars, ‘The Drums of War Are Now Beaten Against Cuba’

‘We are violating what we know, the lesson learned from Vietnam’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MURPHY: "Well, I think. Unfortunately, I think we’re hedging our bets. I mean, we were promised no new wars, and clearly the audio does not match the video here because, you know, obviously we sent ended offensive operations in Venezuela. That offensive air power here in Iran. And it’s hard to do regime change in Iran with just via air power, if that’s what our strategic goal is. And then, you know, obviously the word, the drums of war are now beaten against Cuba. But the reality is this is that we are violating what we know. The lesson learned from vietnam, which was the Powell doctrine, where you have a clear mission, use overwhelming force to accomplish that mission and a clear exit strategy. I think there’s a lot of folks, a lot of Americans, in fact, the majority of Americans who don’t see what the clear mission is here."
