Since the First Gulf War, cable news has been in love with the US that gets involved in the middle wars. Cable news networks become like a lot of hungry animals when the US starts to drop bombs in the middle.
However, Trump’s bombing on Iran does not get the same meeting around the flag response that the first Gulf War and the invasion of Iraq have received.
On Sunday, CNN’s Kasie Hunt Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) interviewed and it became clear that she wanted Schiff to say good things about the attack on CNN’s State of the Union.
Video:
Hunt asked Schiff: “Do you see an advantage, some positive news for the safety of the world in learning the success of these strikes?”
Senator Schiff answered:
I want to express my thanks that the pilots are all safe and recognize the skill, courage and professionalism of all military troops involved in this military operation.
But it is not an operation that the president should have been authorized. In the absence of intelligence that shows that Iran had made the decision to break out and to build a bomb. The intelligence that I have seen, and it is limited indicates that Iran had certainly enriched uranium, but had not made the decision to build a bomb or pursue the mechanism of a bomb.
And in the absence of this, this is not a strike that should have been ordered.
