Is it the duration of time of the conflict? I think that's the issue. You traditionally don't ask for a supplemental halfway through because you might ask for an inadequate amount, you might not. I think they may not want to ask for a supplemental because they're trying to avoid debates and votes in Congress on the Iran war right now. I put up a war powers vote that I was. That I lost earlier this week. But I can assure you I'm not going away. (06:34–06:42)
