Sen. John Kennedy on MOU Amid Talks with Iran: Israel and America Hit Them So Hard, ‘They Coughed Up Bones, the Strait Is the Problem

RUSH EXCERPT:
KENNEDY: "Well, it may not be. But I think we have lost perspective a little bit on Iran. Do you know why Hezbollah and Hamas are degraded? Do you know why Iran is the furthest away it’s ever been from having a nuclear warhead? Do you know why Iran doesn’t have an air force or a navy? Do you know why its weapons stockpile and launchers and weapons production plants have been substantially degraded? It’s because Israel and America hit them so hard, they coughed up bones. And I think that it has made the world measurably safer as a result. Now, the strait is a problem. That’s a big understatement. You don’t have to be a senior at caltech to know we only have three choices. Escalate, retreat and come home, or maintain the status quo. I would maintain 5the status quo as long as I could, sanctions, blockade. I would bomb pick ax mountain and try to reach any nuclear materials underneath. I don’t know if the president should start another bombing campaign or not, because I don’t have the military intelligence. Now, that’s a problem, too, because it will cause a lot of pain. It will cause energy prices to go up and a lot of inflation for the American people. They’re all hellish choices, but for the moment I would maintain the status quo."
