Speaker Pelosi says there's 'no appetite for going to war' with Iran as GOP hawks warn Pres. Trump against inaction.
After Iran shot down an unarmed, unmanned U.S. drone Wednesday over international waters, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says “there’s no appetite for going to war," but Republicans warned that if President Trump does not respond with force, America's adversaries will think the U.S. is"all talk."
The White House invited top members of Congress to another classified briefing with President Trump in the White House Situation Room at 3 p.m. Thursday to learn more about the administration’s position on Iran from Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford, outgoing acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan and his replacement Mark Esper.
"If they do anything else to an American asset and this president doesn’t respond like Ronald Reagan, then this is a signal to Iran," Graham said."We’re a lot closer today than we were yesterday and only God knows what tomorrow brings." “Let's make sure that we don't have a beating the drum for something without the clarity of the facts involved,” she warned. “Our responsibility is to protect and defend our constitution, the American people, our country. That's our first responsibility. That's what we will honor.”
