Ultimately believes the conflict does NOT make the world safer. While degrading Iran's military capacity is positive, the big winners are Russia and China.

Identifies the U.S. Congress and the President as big losers. Congress is sitting by doing nothing, not invoking War Powers Act, while the President claims free rein.

Warns of increased domestic terror attacks in the U.S., like the recent IEDs in New York, as a potential new future.

Criticizes the conflict as a 'completely unprovoked war of choice' that is hugely dangerous and inspired by the President's friendship with Netanyahu.

Acknowledges the commission recommended increased defense spending and fixing the broken defense industrial base, but also urged using all elements of national power, not just hard assets.

Reiterates it's important to degrade Iran's military capacity, but the conflict is tragic with lives lost and may cost more if the President tries to protect traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Final call is for Congress to act, invoke the War Powers Act, put limits on the conflict, and get a handle on costs, stating the American people must support it for the President to go forward.
