NBC News Tehran Bureau Chief: https://t.co/jjClXOBTXp— Tom Winter (@Tom_Winter) January 3, 2020
...has consequences. And we don't have a leader:
Why did Eric Trump apparently know about the strike on Iranian Gen. Qassim Suleimani beforehand, and why was he apparently tweeting hints about it?— Ashton Pittman (@ashtonpittman) January 3, 2020
Imagine if Chelsea Clinton had been informed ahead of time about major, secret foreign policy operations—& tweeted about it. pic.twitter.com/kBIcXNfPAW
So if I am reading these accounts correctly, the Gang if Eight didn’t know, but Eric Trump did?— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) January 3, 2020
Ok, then.
💯. It’s like riding in a car with a roaringly drunk driver. https://t.co/LIcKPdogGT— George Conway (@gtconway3d) January 3, 2020
Some of my best Hill sources tonight tell me there is very little to no appetite inside GOP for attacking Iran in Iran, but support for taking steps to protect embassy in Baghdad as long as intel is solid. Emphasis on securing compound, stability. Uneasiness tho about POTUS...— Robert Costa (@costareports) January 3, 2020
the sources generally describe POTUS as a noninterventionist who doesn’t want to be bullied by Tehran, but they know he has rarely if ever been tested in this way. For now, several said they will rally behind him but push privately to move slow, keep action contained.— Robert Costa (@costareports) January 3, 2020
Side Note: Iran might not respond immediately. They could bide their time and wait to do something--they might not even take credit/try to craft some plausible deniability. Just because our news cycle/expectations work a certain way, it doesn't mean Tehran's does.— Phillip Smyth (@PhillipSmyth) January 3, 2020
Trump has no plan and no strategy. He doesn't even read the daily brief. He doesn't even understand the implications of what he just did. https://t.co/d5Ph9Z6mIm— Elizabeth C. McLaughlin (@ECMcLaughlin) January 3, 2020
"Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected and is sure as you're sitting there is to start a war with Iran." pic.twitter.com/Ad6IPLhOWg— Angelo Carusone (@GoAngelo) January 3, 2020
Really don't think the Senate GOP are going to concern themselves with that latter question.Congress has to assert itself and determine exactly what our Iran policy is. Did we mean to do this? Do we have any plan for what comes next? What is the legal basis for all this?— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) January 3, 2020
Shit.
