The leading sponsor of terrorism in their pursuit of nuclear weapons. The threat is the civilized world. This morning President Trump addressed the nation announcing new economic sanctions against iran but did not call for any more military action against the country following last nights rocket attacks in iraq, the president also noted that the us is not looking to escalate the situation further. And is quote ready to embrace peace with all who seek it our political analyst Michael Yockey joining us now live via Skype Michael youre a democrat a lot of democrats have been criticizing the president s initial attack that killed Qassem Soleimani saying that he rushed into it didnt brief congress or the gang of 8 now that this appears to have settled down and it doesnt look like were going to war is Many Democrats feared. Can we say that the president made the right decision in attacking and killing soleimani who certainly has blood on his hands. I think this goes old adage of of sometimes you rather be lucky than good. This is a question of the fact that iran has apparently stood down. I think is is more of a fortune of whats going on in iran rather than anything that the president given preparation or lack thereof in making this decision so i mean this is certain this is certainly going to be if it pans out the way it is. A feather in his cap going toward the reelection. Its something again no one is disputing his personally departing this earth is and is not a bad thing, but the manner which was done the way was carried out against someone who leader in another nation state. Those are questions are going to remain and thats why. The democrats are going to move forward with their resolution on war tomorrow. The towards war seems to have a turned off at least for the moment. Your sense whether things are could ramp up a rapidly again. Well i think that this certainly puts a things more on the entertainer boxes anything that happens could be attributed to year and the fact is there are a lot of sponsor organizations out there hezbollah. Among others that could still a launch attacks against the United States because that is what they tend to do. And. If in fact they may do. Were going ask the question is it because of soleimanis assassination is it because theyre simply doing it because they want to do is it because they feel that they have their own responsibility to attack. The United States in the in the in the in the vacuum caused my soleimanis removal so you know these are all things that are going to be out there the the middle east is less safe that it was a few days ago and you know this is sort of a few can be right this is what this is Foreign Policy by White Knuckle thats never really a good way to conduct. So looks like a michael us signals frozen 3 so having michael. Im here okay okay so we lost you for a second finish up. But this is Foreign Policy by White Knuckle thats never a good way to conduct of Foreign Policy, the United States much much less for our men and women overseas in our armed forces so you know were lucky today hopefully we will continue to be lucky. But this is not the way Foreign Policy should be conducted. Yeah, there is a whole discussion about imminent threat and after the members from both sides of the aisle walked away saying it was less than satisfying the ex explanation, they got is that going to be an ongoing issue. Why rain thats going to be the basis for why the house is moving forward the war powers resolution and to restate restrain the pres. You know what i think michael we lost youre going to have to move interesting certainly will be talking about it more in the coming days. You can catch michael on the politically smart ask.
