YOU FIRST, PAL: James Comer Says Boots On The Ground In Iran May Be A Necessity
Rep James Comer told News Nation that US ground forces may be necessary to invade Iran if Donald Trump deems them necessary.
It's no secret that Trump has not ruled out using US ground forces at this juncture of his illegitimate war against Iran.
As usual, House Republicans refuse to implement their constitutional authority of Oversight on the executive branch and let Trump do whatever he wants, in any capacity. This includes starting a war of choice with Iran.
HOST: I know you have to keep a lot of cards close to the vest on this, but we've already lost six troops, sir. The president says he does expect more. A lot of Americans and military families want to know if their loved ones are about to be deployed to Iran for this.
Will there be boots on the ground? The president has yet to rule that out.COMER: Well, I certainly hope not.
If there are boots on the ground, I hope they're not on the ground any longer than the boots on the ground were in Venezuela.
But I think that that's something the president knows that members of Congress certainly hope doesn't happen.
But sometimes that's unavoidable in a situation like this.
And you mentioned six troops had lost their lives.
Some had been from Fort Knox in Kentucky, my home state.
So, you know, we're devastated.
