hardline hawk on iran. now, he s not the same type of military interventionist that john bolton was, but make no mistake, over the last 16 months under john bolton, there wasn t an interagency process and at times like this which is basically a brewing crisis, previous national security advisers would have went out and convened the principals and the deputies and come up with a series of options and recommendations to the president about how he could respond to the iranian attack you don t have that process now and you don t have somebody, i think, that s going to play that fair and objective, you know, person that is going to be able to present honestly to donald trump, mr. trump, you have these options here, but let me warn you off of these and you need to consider this. and i think having a multilateral response in engagements as well as engaging with the congressional leadership now is critically important. have we given too much control to saudi arabia over u.s. foreign policy?
