‘Dangerous Disaster’: Waltz Criticizes Obama-Biden Middle East Policy

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Scott: “I mentioned it earlier, I’ve been reading intelligence briefs for a week or more this was expected out of Iran. Is this something you expected, congressman?”
WALTZ: “Jon, I think we have to take a step back here. There is no other way to describe the Obama-Biden Middle East policy except as a dangerous disaster. This is an utter calamity. Just a few years ago under President Trump ISIS was destroyed. Iran wasn’t broke and on their back foot. And we had the Abraham Accords. Look where we are now. The fundamental mistake, the underpinning has been an appeasement strategy from the Biden Administration that is so focused on what they called de-escalation it has signaled to the region and certainly to Iran they have room to push. They can achieve their goals as they tried to appease and back away braid that has but that is by dress last year we refused to push the un to renew sanctions on Iran’s drone and missile program. Now they are literally flying towards it or leave. But not to force the oil sanctions. 90% is being sold to China. We have backed away from our greatest ally, Israel, very publicly. And by the way, we spent the last couple of years begging Iran to get back in two and Iran deal using Russia as an intermediary and lead negotiators now under investigation by the FBI for some type of traitorous activity towards Iran. The list is so long that Iran clearly thinks it can get away with this. And it sees this as an opportunity. We have to have a commander-in-chief. November cannot come soon enough. We have to have a commander-in-chief that our enemies respect and fear and we do not have that.”
