Former Bush official blasts Pete Hegseth's 'condescending' Iran war tantrum
A former member of President George W. Bush’s administration had nothing good to say about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s press conference on Monday, claiming he failed to answer any important questions and just showed up to posture.
Appearing on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” Elise Jordan expressed disgust with the former Fox News personality’s smug answers, which also failed to make the case that threatens to go on longer than the Donald Trump administration is willing to admit.
Speaking with co-host Jonathan Lemire she exclaimed, “Well, beside his behind his condescending demeanor, that aside, notice how he says constantly ‘mission clear objectives. ‘He repeatedly says, ’We have a mission.’ ‘We have a ––,’ What are they?! He can't put them out there. That is the whole problem here."
“We don't know what this war is about!” she pointed out. “Donald Trump said from the get-go, it was about encouraging the Iranian people to stand up, regime change. Then you hear through so many different interviews that he does so many different options. ‘This could go a month, it could be a couple of days. I don't know, maybe I'll negotiate.’”
“No one has any idea what this war is about,” she insisted. “And it is a problem because they don't have a strategy and they don't have a plan. And you look at the politics of this, it's only going to get worse with time.”
