Trump gave Iran permission to fire missiles at U.S. troops at our base in Qatar. You’ll recall the last time this happened and our troops suffered TBI, Trump downplayed the serious injuries as “headaches.” www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ju...

Why are the Republicans embarrassed by this? Why aren't they calling for this resignation?

So many experts warned of this. CNN ‪‪@natashabertrand.bsky.social: Pentagon's "Defense Intelligence Agency has assessed that the core components of Iran's nuclear program are largely intact and that Iran's nuclear program has essentially only been set back by months."
