Schiff: 'I Don't Know How' to End Iran War, But Need to 'End' It

Seven months. Eighteen dead. Schiff's plan is that he does not have one.

Summary

On Tuesday's CNN broadcast of The Story Is, Sen. Adam Schiff said of the Iran war, 'I don't know how the president cleans up his mess, but I do know we need to bring an end to this, because it's just going to continue to cause more suffering, more loss of American servicemembers' lives.'
Host Elex Michaelson asked what to do now to end the war and bring costs down. Schiff called that 'hugely difficult' and said the president 'went into this without much thought.'
Schiff said Trump expected something 'like Venezuela,' to 'grab or kill the leader of Iran' and govern at a distance, then said 'Iran is not Venezuela.'
He described a 'quagmire, seven months in, 18 servicemembers killed,' plus rising prices. He offered no operational off-ramp beyond declaring the war should end.

Commentary

A Jacksonville hull tech still tastes salt on a cracked lip and can count 18 names without a Senate adjective. He did not send a kid to a deck so a California senator could say 'I don't know' on national television.

Seven. Months. Eighteen. No plan. The honest dad already paid the lane. The clip paid the shrug.

Look every working father who still has a kid in a uniform in the eye and answer this: if a senator can demand an end and refuse a method, who still owns the next watch in Hormuz?

Comments

If Schiff can demand an end with no method, who still owns the next watch in Hormuz?

Tuesday CNN. Seven months. Eighteen dead. Hold that chain.

I stood a deck so a strait stayed open. 'I don't know' is not a plan.

u/rule_first · 4h

Michaelson asked how. Schiff said hugely difficult. Publish the four.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied watches still finish a fight they start. A shrug is not an off-ramp.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Venezuela comparison. Quagmire line. Prices tacked on. File the four.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still clock a dock at 2 a.m. I want the next watch backed, not abandoned mid-strait.

Eighteen names are not a talking point. They are a warning the street already paid.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

A no-plan exit is a second border around a carrier. The first mine should have been enough.

u/press_clip · 30m

Breitbart printed seven months, 18 dead, and I don't know. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Finish the escorts. Finish the isolation. A shrug is not a strategy.
