President Donald Trump delivered a major primetime address about the war in Iran on Wednesday, but not everyone was impressed. Trump spoke for 20 minutes in a speech that many hoped would offer some clarity about the conflict. Instead, the president only repeated previous public remarks about it. He reiterated that the war will take another two to three weeks, demanded Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and also called on other countries to find a way to reopen the vital waterway, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows. The president did not address the prospect of deploying soldiers, thousands of whom are either in or headed to the Middle East. Trump is reportedly mulling the seizure of Kharg Island, where Iran processes the vast majority of its oil exports. After the speech, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) appeared on MS NOW, where Chris Hayes asked about potential ground forces. “On the question of the use of ground troops, the only thing that I felt I took away – and again, I could be telling myself a lie here because anything can change – it did seem like that was not the direction things were going, a ground invasion,” Hayes said. “Did you get that sense?” Moulton, a former Marine who served in Iraq, replied: Chris, I’m not a child psychologist, so I can’t understand the mind of Donald Trump. But the reality is that we… have thousands and thousands of paratroopers headed to the Middle East or already arrived right now, makes me incredibly concerned, you know? I’ve talked to some of their parents. I know what some of those Marines are thinking because I’ve been in those same shoes. I’ve been on ships headed to the Middle East. But even in Iraq, for all the problems with that war, at least there was a plan. At least Congress had voted on it. At least the American people had weighed in. At least the generals had come before Congress and put forward a plan. None of that exists today. And so, I think this could get a lot worse. We already saw oil futures spike, go much higher. Just during the course of his speech. But that’s just the price of oil. When more Americans start coming home in body bags, this is going to not only just get immeasurably worse for us, for our nation, for our… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago - ‘This War Is Going To Continue for Some Time’: Former NatSec Official Gives ...Brett McGurk, the former White House Coordinator for the Middle East, gave a grim interpretation of President Donald Trump’s Wednesday night address, claiming it made him believe that “this war is going to continue for some time.” McGurk joined CNN’s The Source after the president finished his remarks, speaking with host Kaitlan Collins about Trump’s goals for the speech and its implications for the future of the US military conflict with Iran. Collins claimed the president wanted to lay out the reasons for the war in Iran to the American people, asking McGurk if he felt Trump had succeeded in making that case. “I thought he started with the necessity we talked about. You need necessity, the objective. Then, what’s the plan? I thought the necessity, laying out the bill of particulars on Iran, was fairly effective,” said McGurk to Collins. McGurk claimed that while the need for the war may have been made clear, the plan for the future of the conflict was not. “I thought when he laid out the objectives and the plan, I don’t think we heard too much,” said McGurk. “And my takeaway was that we might be in for an escalation of this war.” He went on to tell Collins that if viewers were waiting for a signal from the president that he was winding down the war, this speech did not deliver. “He said, if it’s not a deal, the enemy targets everything else he’d been talking about. So if we were– thought we might hear a de-escalatory speech, we’re going to wrap this up in a couple of weeks, I actually heard something quite different,” said McGurk. “He said he visits the families at Dover, and he said, ‘We must honor them by completing the mission.’ And then he basically threatened Iran that we’re going to prepare to send you back to the Stone Age. So I think this war is going to continue for some time. I mean, that’s what I heard.” Watch above via CNN.The post ‘This War Is Going To Continue for Some Time’: Former NatSec Official Gives Grim Response To Trump’s Iran Speech first appeared on Mediaite.
