Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm's way for the sake of Trump's war of choice.
This is a dangerous and unnecessary gamble with American lives that also jeopardizes stability in the region and our standing in the world. What we are witnessing is not strength. It is recklessness dressed up as resolve. I know the threat that Iran poses, and they must never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, but this is not the way to dismantle that threat.
During the campaign, Donald Trump promised to end wars rather than start them. It was a lie. Then last year, he said "we obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. That, too, was a lie.
And let us all be clear-eyed about what comes next. The President has already said this conflict may produce American casualties. Doug and I will be praying for all of our brave servicemen and women, who we know are undertaking dangerous missions with exceptional skill, discipline, and precision. Our troops deserve a Commander-in-Chief who approaches decisions on matters of war and peace with the same steadiness and discipline our troops show every day.
Under the Constitution of the United States, the President most receive authorization from Congress to enter a war. But even if he had, that does not change the fact this action is unwise, unjustified, and not supported by the American people. There can be no equivocation in our opposition to Donald Trump's war of choice, and Congress must use all available power to prevent him from further committing us to this conflict. Our troops, our allies, and the American people deserve nothing less.

(2,768 posts)Problem is most politicians release their statements on social media hours before they release it from the press offices.

(12,077 posts)She would have made such a good president. Truly, deeply, deeply hate those that refused to vote for her because they thought she wouldn't end the war in Gaza or would start more wars.
Now the Palestinians are been exterminated and we've started another war in the ME in which we murdered over 100 children.
Its times like these I wish there was a hell.
