What I'm hearing is that the President and Secretary Hedgeseth and General Kaine and others, although General Kaine is not the policymaker here, but don't want to take any of their options off the table. And I don't think the president wants boots on the ground in Iran. I certainly don't. The American people don't. But I don't think the president or his advisers are going to take that off the table for smart reasons. (03:22–03:26)
