Mr. Director Ratcliffe, you just described the specific campaign that the President is engaged in, the country's engaged in, with respect to Iran. I think the campaign has been one, in my view, without a specific rationale for the American people. 19 days into President Trump's unauthorized war with Iran, and by which I mean there has been no congressional approval, at least 13 American service members are dead and many others are injured. President Trump has offered no credible justification for an imminent threat. No clear goals, no strategy or timeline. His message keeps changing, I think, in really damaging ways. (00:23–00:37)
CLAIM
