Lawmakers are not getting enough answers to questions surrounding U.S. operations amid the war in Iran, according to Republican Congressman Mike Rogers of Alabama, also chair of the House Armed Services Committee.

Wicker later added, “I can see why he might have said that,” when asked about Rogers’ criticism following a similar classified Senate briefing, according to Politico, reflecting potential unease among GOP defense leaders. “I haven’t heard his comment, and I don’t know the context. But I can see why he might have said that," Wicker said. “This is not just about Epic Fury,” Rogers also said, per the Politico report. “This is a consistent pattern of tagging the base and saying, ‘We came over and briefed you.’ But they’re not telling us things, substantive things.” The Pentagon’s reported plans include potentially sending up to 3,000 paratroopers to join thousands of Marines moving toward the Middle East, augmenting an estimated 50,000 U.S. personnel already in the region."Washington’s war machine has spent decades sending our sons and daughters into endless conflicts in the Middle East, with no clear exit strategy, all to serve the interests of powerful politicians. We will not stand for it. We will not sacrifice American lives for the same failed foreign policies. The war machine may be willing to give the lives of your sons and daughters for the price of oil, but we are not.""The Radical Left, Country Hating Democrats are trying to create inner chaos to take away from the great military achievement we are having in Iran.

President Trump made the necessary, justified decision to protect our homeland."that he instructed the Department of Defense to postpone any and all strikes against Iran's power plants and energy infrastructure for five days amid"very good and productive conversations" with Iran about a resolution of hostilities in the region.
