I actually don't think any of my Republican

colleagues could explain how this war ends.

Apparently, a worse regime, more provocative

to the region, more adversarial to US interests,

will remain in charge of Iran when we decide

to stop bombing. Estimates are that they will

be able to rebuild their missile and drone capability

in months, after we declare an end to hostilities.

The nuclear program will still be there, because

you can't bomb out of existence either knowledge

or the fissile material that is buried deep

under the earth. So, at the end of this, we're

going to have raised prices for everybody here,

we're going to have cost a lot of American lives,

we're going to have set on fire the region.

By the way, a new war, already having killed

a thousand people, is breaking out between Israel

and Lebanon. And Iran is going to be more dangerous,

not less dangerous at the end. We need to debate

this in our committees, on the Senate floor.
