Fmr. VP Pence: VP Vance Is Wrong, ‘We Didn’t Lose This Midterm Election Because of the War’

RUSH EXCERPT:
PENCE: "Well, I pray for the vice president and his family. Nobody understands his job in this country as well as I do. He’s a good man, but Vice President Pence is wrong. We didn’t lose this midterm election because of the war. I think part of the reason why voters were turned off was because after seeing our military respond brilliantly in Operation Epic fury. And the strike against Iran last year, for inexplicable reasons, we stopped after five weeks, we sunk their navy and we had complete air superiority, took down 15,000 military sites in Iran, then we paused and began to embrace the politics of appeasement. There’s an old saying that you don’t make peace with your enemy, you make peace with your defeated enemy. And you need look no further than Bahrain in the last 24 hours where Iran is still firing on U.S. targets, to see the Iranians don’t give evidence of feeling defeated. I believe they are, but I think the frustration that many Americans have with seeing gasoline prices rise, diesel prices rise, was the fact, not that we went to work, not that we took the fight to the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism but that we stop short. And I have to believe that that was a reflection in some respects of some of the voices of isolationism on the right that have gained some perches for this administration."
