Uh oh, dems are angry.
--
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) appeared stunned when speaking to reporters after leaving a closed-door congressional briefing on the United States' involvement in the Iran war on Tuesday.
"I emerged from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry frankly as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the Senate," he said. "I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war. My questions have been unanswered."
A ground deployment in Iran appears to be a strong possibility, Blumenthal continued.
"I am most concerned about the threat to American lives of potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iran," he said. "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish and of the potential objectives here.
Blumenthal said Russia and China appear to be assisting Iran. He chastised President Donald Trump's administration for being opaque about the circumstances around the war.
"The American people deserve to know much more than this administration has told them about the cost of the war, the danger to our sons and daughters in uniform and the potential for further escalation and widening of this war — a war of choice made by this president, not chosen by the American people, with potentially huge consequences to American lives," he concluded.
