GOP Mike Lee says intel hearing is worst he has heard in 9 years as a senator

[berg80]

Ya a man directly RESPONSIBLE for the killing of over 500 American soldiers is of course not a viable target for killing himself? You supported the murder of a 16 year old American boy that had never done anything to the US JUST because his father MIGHT. To be clear in that case the Father had NOT done anything either. Yet you supported the murder of that boy because your hero Obama ordered it.

What was gained?

Wow, GOP senator Mike Lee is pissed over lack of transparency in classified intel briefing about the Soleimani situation. WTF is going on here?!

Senator Mike Lee Calls Iran Briefing "the Worst" He | C-SPAN.org
Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee calls the briefing on the drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani "the worst briefing" he's seen on a military issue during his nine years in the Senate. He also says it's "insulting" for administration officials to tell senators that they cannot debate War Powers legislation because it would embolden Iran. Senator Lee says he will now support a resolution proposed by Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine. "It is not acceptable for officials within the executive branch of government…to come in and tell us that we can't debate and discuss the appropriateness of military intervention against Iran. It's un-American. It's unconstitutional and it's wrong," Senator Lee says.

Lee had his feathers ruffled and his ego was hurt

senators are the biggest blowhards in washington

Lee is a #nevertrumper.

That isn't the issue. The lack of consideration for the consequences is the issue. None of which are positive.

Ya I mean Obama had nothing to worry about murdering a 16 year old so his illegal action was JUST fine. Trump's elimination of an actual terror threat was well reasoned as evidenced by Iran's supposed retaliation. And guess what if Iran does more..... We will respond by force, we wont mail 150 billion dollars to them to bribe them.

Unlike the far left that you support without question or hesitation.

The GOP has people that will often go against the grain!

Right or Wrong, it shows that the GOP will be willing to question their own, unlike the far left in supporting the illegal wars of Obama!

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Mike's correct, of course.

Lee should be prepared to be thrown under the bus by the Trump cult and by Trump TV, known as Faux News.

Yup. I can see the veins in Trump's big orange face pulsing now. He'll rip into Mike Lee on Twitter.

In the meantime, the whole world is once again reminded that Trump is nothing but a tin pot dictator who is full of gas.
He has drawn the line TWICE now and failed to follow up.
First North Korea.
Now Iran.
Trump is a "...fake. A phony" Mitt Romney, 2016

But Mitt threw a presidential election.

Mitt got beat up by a girl.

What did we get out of it?

lol. Solemeini is dead.

din't ya hear? He got blowed up.

and, more importantly, the Iranians got punched good for the first time in years and have been the recipients of a clear message that their proxy bullshit will no longer be tolerated. If they're behind it, they'll be held accountable. That is a new status quo for them to ruminate on.

And the Iranians have broadcast for anyone with more than 2 brain cells that they are as afraid of a real US attack as they actually should be, despite their typical bellicose rhetoric. They had their #2 guy killed and shot some missiles into the sand. That equates to nothing but a waste of ordnance and a kabuki show for their own people.

Ya know what that means? It means the world doesn't have to take their shit any longer, and the world knows it. And the Iranians know the world knows it.

If this goes no further this is a very clear win for Trump.

What do you think ruffled his feathers and hurt his ego?

In his own words he was pissed that the briefers were calling for less debate and grandstanding in the senate

You’re right. Mike Lee is all about grandstanding and decided to go publicly complain that the DOD was against grandstanding. Your comprehension skills are very impressive

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Sorry that you find the facts about President Shithole disturbing.

She lost, deal with it

 

[blackhawk]

So the TDS afflicted want the Pentagon to undermine the Commander in Chief that's a wise precedent to set.

Undermine him? No. It's just that he is a juvenile so the options he is given must be controlled.........for all our sakes.

First the ones acting like a juvenile are those who start threads like this second if the Pentagon is not giving the CIC all options they are in fact undermining him seriously growup.

No he’s not, not even close. He’s agreed with, praised and voted for much of trumps agenda. He just isn’t a alwaysTrumper, which is pretty common and pathetic in the GOP right now

Yeah, good on Lee and Paul, I respect people who stick to their principles. So back to the subject. What do you think about their comments about the briefing. No biggie?
