Tulsi Gabbard is now saying exactly the opposite of what she testified & the opposite of the statement in the worldwide threat assessment the entire intelligence community produced. It’s rather dangerous when the director of national intelligence cannot accurately convey a hard-and-fast reality.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!
