'Forever war:' Democrats rebut Trump's assertion that Iran war nearing end

Senate Democrats on Tuesday rebutted President Donald Trump’s claims that the war in Iran may soon be over, warning that the U.S. risks getting dragged into another prolonged conflict in the Middle East.

The concerns from Democrats who attended a bipartisan classified briefing with military brass on Tuesday stand in stark contrast with the president, who on Monday suggested the U.S. may be nearing the completion of its operation. Trump’s statements sent slumping markets soaring and cratered oil prices that had skyrocketed in recent days.


“What I heard is not just concerning, it is disturbing,” Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, whose members were briefed. “I’m not sure what the endgame is or what their plans are. ... And if he does want to put us in a forever war, which it seems like he does, he needs to come out and let us be able to have that discussion.”

“Do you think because he thinks he waves some magic wand that everything just stops? ... It’s not going to stop just because he wishes it to be so,” Rosen said.

It seems we still have no clear idea of what is going on and what the con's plan is. Probably because the con artist has no idea of what he is doing.

Trump could end the war in weeks with no regime change and nothing accomplished – save for billions of dollars wasted and lives needlessly lost.

Trump is infamous for destroying things and then just walking away.
