What Mike Lee didn’t like was not that the intelligence wasn’t good or good reason for action, but that the briefers had the nerve to tell the Senators that arguing about it publicly was helping our enemies.
So it’s all about his pride.
From another thread.....
“...what, if anything, would trigger the need for the Administration to come back to congress for a declaration of war or the authorization of the use of military force?”
Having done these briefings MANY times myself, this is an entirely improper question for a member of Congress to ask of a briefer. The briefers were clearly from DoD and/or the Intelligence Community. That question is a matter of policy, NOT intelligence and is not the purview of the IC and those two assholes should know that.
Senators Paul and Lee, you make me want to puke! Who owns your votes?
Thank you, ManHunter.
This is so true. It should be heeded by anyone who is a patriot, Dems as well as Republicans.
