Congress had a chance to stop the war with Iran and force the president to seek authorization before continuing military action. Instead, they voted to allow the war to continue.
If Congress is willing to support a war, they must answer basic questions about it:
- What is the plan to avoid a draft?
- What is the plan to avoid boots on the ground?
- How will Americans be protected from skyrocketing gas prices?
- What happens if our weapons stockpiles run low, including those needed to defend against China?
- What is the actual legal and strategic justification for this war?
- How will you avoid a forever war that drains our resources and sends our youth to fight?
- What is the plan to end this conflict?
- Who is profiting from this war?
- And how are you ensuring no one in Washington is trading stocks or cashing in on this war?
Congress made their call. Now they owe the American people answers.
