VoteVets Statement: Retaliation Was “Beyond Predictable”

Washington, DC –  Today, in response to reports that Iran has launched attacks against American military bases, VoteVets Senior Advisor Major General (Ret.) Paul Eaton released the following statement: 

“It was beyond predictable that Iran would retaliate and Trump now owns American lives being in danger.  Claims by this administration that Iran’s nuclear program has been ‘obliterated’ are as credible as George W. Bush’s ‘Mission Accomplished’ sign. Republicans in Congress need to grow a spine and demand the Administration present a clear and concrete plan for de-escalation. No one wants to see a nuclear armed Iran, but another failed forever war with no strategy isn’t the answer – especially one led by reckless leaders taking their cues from social media.”
