launched a military strike on iran after john bolton left? dana: would be great to have arm chair quarterbacking if we could. the vice president s chief of staff was asked a question earlier about what does locked and loaded actually mean? here s what he said. i think locked and loaded means several things. america today under this president is far better prepared to handle these sorts of events because we re now a net exporter of oil. dana: let me also have you listen to senator chris kuhn on the senate foreign relations whitty. he had this to say. iran is one of the most dangerous state sponsors of terrorism. this may well be the thing that calls for military action again iran if that s what the intelligence supports. dana: i thought that was quite a remarkable statement. that is. there will be bipartisan support for a response, whatever the
this is the consequence. your decision, mr. president, we recommend or not. but the idea that they would say to him when he said go ahead and bomb and take out whatever they were going to take out and not tell him what the consequences would be? not possible. simply not possible. the military does not function that way whether or not there is a secretary of defense. ed: remember what bob gates who was the defense secretary under president obama said about joe biden. he said that he was wrong about every major national security decision for the last few decades. so, he is now sort of armchair quarterbacking what president trump did here. the president himself firing back, watch. everybody was saying i m a warmonger, and now they say i m a dove. and i think i m neither you want to know the truth. i m a man with common sense and that s what we need in this country is common sense. but i didn t like the idea
