Sen. Mark Warner Criticizes the Iran War After Two U.S. Service Members Were Killed in Jordan: At This Pace, ‘a Continuing Disaster’

RUSH EXCERPT:
WARNER: "Condolences to these soldiers, remember is we think about this five month war. This is a war of choice. As, a member of the gang of eight it. There was no imminent threat from Iran against America, so Donald Trump chose to go to war. It took him two weeks delay out what he thought. His goals were going to be: let’s go through those regime change how we do there. We’re going to worse crowd than before. Getting, the enriched uranium will it’s still their manufacture. It would take a minimum of 15 thousand troops on the ground for a week to try to take these canisters, which are quite volatile out of of the their bunkers getting rid of Iran’s missile and drone capability. Obviously, we’re not been successful there and the thing John. That makes be completely crazy, as Iran has both missiles and they also have lots and lots of fifty thousand dollar drones that are very effective. We are using missiles that cost two and half million dollars to shoot down those drone. Those drums presents lynskey the only country that has devised a technique of counter Iranian drones at five thousand dollars. They’ve done it so effectively. They offered us all of that technology for free and the Trump White House, basically center. The Ukrainians thanks, but no thanks so we’re behind on that as well and then finally, on the Strait of Hormuz. That mean I don’t. I don’t know what gas station the secretaries go into, but before the war average price of gasoline in Virginia was two dollars and 80 one sense. It is now back to four dollars diesels at five dollars. I see no path in the short-term, how the straight there’s going to be settled. This war of choice has been a disaster. It has been a disaster militarily. It has been a disaster in terms of how we’re viewed around the world. It has been a disaster to our friends in the allies who question whether we will keep our promises. I’m actually see if it takes a a classic. Donald Trump move, declare victory tomorrow and be done, but the continuation of this war at this pace we’ll be continuing. Disaster"
