On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said President Donald Trump had not made the case for the military action in Iran.
Warner said, “Americans are paying $122 million a day extra in gas coming right out of their pockets, that, combined with the declining job numbers, that combined with the stock market crashing, going into this war without I don’t feel like the appropriate preparation or having made the case the American public, I think we’ve got a lot of explaining to do. We don’t know how long Iran will last. The notion and I heard the general earlier, I think

"Imminent" was sometime in 1979. We are way past "imminent."

Warner may be right. After all a nation that shouts Death to America for 47 years, builds100 medium range ballistic missiles and thousands of drones a month that are being sold to Russia to be used against Ukraine while working on Hyper-sonic missiles that can reach the US and all of Europe, and supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Huthis whose mission is to spread radical Islam, destroy our close ally Israel and dominate the middle east, and working underground to develop nuclear weapons can only be considered a severe existential threat but surely not an imminent threat.

Democrats have it easy. No matter what Trump says or does, they just do the opposite. They dont even have to know what the issue is. Just a knee jerk opposite reaction. Its intellectually lazy and bad for the country, but that never concerned a democrat.

While dems have decided to take the "easy"path, just oppose everything Trump does, it is also the stupid path, as evidenced in this article.
"Imminent describes something, usually unpleasant or momentous, that is about to happen very soon or is impending." Iran had massive amounts of missiles, had a large ability and proven actions to project terrorism, and an impending ability (within a year) to have nuclear weapons. I would call the threat extant and imminent. If a bulldozer was rolling down the road a mile from your house and you KNEW it was going to be knocking your house down, for some insane reason, would you call the police NOW or wait until it actually started knocking down the house?
Dems and media seem to think they can say anything and that makes it true. But since Biden's Residency they say (and do) stupid stuff, echoed by the bobblehead media, and think no one notices. Then they puzzle about why their credibility no longer exists.

Bet ya....If anyone, a handful, or a thousand people stated posting "Death to Mark Warner! Death to Democrats!" he would immediately call for them to be SWAT'd, disarmed, locked up, all of their friends SWAT'd, disarmed, locked up, and make demands that $Millions be given to himself, as well as all his friends for armed protections around the clock due to "Immanent Threats"

How did we even end up here in the first place? Wasn't it because Jimmy Carter abandoned the Shah, even after he had been a partner with the US against the spread of communisim during the Cold War? And that mistake was further exacerbated by The Zero with that naievely stupid deal with Iran, dropping sanctions and giving them pallets of cash in exchange for a 10yr moratorium on nuclear weapons? They took the money and used it to equip Hezbollah/Hamas/Houthis and spread terrorism throughout the world. Biden resumed this insanely stupid policy. And last year, the Zero Deal expired, leaving the Iranians free to enrich their uranium. The Democrats have literally broughtt, not just the US, but the whole WORLD to the brink of nuclear war in their mad quest for power in the US gvt. Its high time to abandon the Dems, they have lost their moral compass, if they ever even had one. Hello Jim Crow! Hello segregation! Hello Japanese-US internment camps! Hello KKK! And today we have theives like Ilhan Omar in the House Of Representataives whose allegiance is to foreign countries, NOT the US.

Warner has failed to make the case that Trump has not made the case that Iran was an imminent threat. He's another Trump deranged jerk who needs his jaw wired shut.

Warner is painfully stupid: You don't telegraph what you know, what you plan, or what is going to happen right now. Washington and the media leak like a sieve. A leak before the fact would have been a disaster. Warner is in a snit because he wasn't in on the plan.

If somebody threatened to kill me and had guns pointed in my direction, chances are good that I would be shooting first. Jimmy Carter wrecked both the Middle East and the US Economy through his stupidity. He should have spent his life farming peanuts. Barack Obama, following the guidance of Valerie Jarrett, set Iran up for this inevitable disaster.

I don't recall Obama and his SoS Hilary Clinton making the case that Libya was an "imminent threat" when they went in and had Gadaffi killed and turned Libya into a failed state - still. Or the imminent threat from Syria when Biden okay bombing of that country.

Well it is now well known that the Iranians have built thousands of medium and short range ballistic missiles and a number of types of drones that have the range to travel from Iran into neighboring Middle East Countries indiscriminately. The Iranian “negotiators” a couple of weeks ago bragged to US negotiators that Iran had enough nuclear material that could quickly be enriched and be turned into a number of nuclear warheads. That admission obviously got Trump’s attention. So who is to say that the Iranians have not been working to build an intercontinental ballistic missile or a number of them, put chemical, nuclear, or high explosive warheads on such missiles and fire them at the continental USA? So if one of those Iranian ballistic missiles with a chemical, nuclear, or explosive warhead landed and exploded in Virginia would Warner wake up, claim that Iran was an imminent threat to the USA, and blame Trump for not doing anything about that?

This is what the term "willfully blind" defines. The danger was already evident in some 50 years of threats: "Death to America!", Actions: countless American deaths by direct or indirect Iranian actions. And intent: Their ambitions in ballistic missile and nuclear energy. They intended to bomb the US mainland with nuclear weapons.

Once upon a time the people from Virginia were patriots. This Warner creep is an idiot. George Washington and the other great Revolutionary leaders would have not bothered to have a Revolution if they knew that it would result in guys like that one

Mark Warner should be more concerned about the massive increase in taxes, fees and everything else the new Governor of Virginia is forcing down the throats in the Commonwealth.
It's obvious they are looking to make this issue into an affordability issue attack against Trump, in particular, because so many Democrats simply recoil just hearing that name now.
It's why the GOP better push a large and long term ad campaign staring soon against the Democrats.

Warner is obviously a lying fool! anyone with a pulse knows that Iran was an imminent threat! This satanic theocracy has been killing people for over 40 years, including Americans! Sowing terrorism? You bet! And now this damn fool Warner goes on TV claiming that President Trump has not made a case for the attacks! Unbelievable!

Unfortunately, the voters in Virginia will continue sending Warner and Kaine back to Washington. Conservatives like me can vote in every election but it doesn't matter in Virginia because there are so many more liberal Democrats. And now Virginia is trying to do the "fair" thing by gerrymandering election districts so that they favor Dems in 10 and Republicans in 1 district. It had been 6-5 based on a non-partisan committee's work about 6 years ago.

Not being President or having sole responsibility to make decisions, Democrat Senators have lots of opinions on what should have been done. Of course, We all know, they are one of 100 and have 99 other Senators to hide behind to escape any responsibilty from anything. They can claim, say, and do whatever thay want to but in the end, they are no ultimately responsible to make the decisions. They get to armchair quaterback and pretend to be all knowing. Democrat Senators would have done nothing! Iran could have sponsored terrorist attacks across the US, Israel, and Europe and they would have grandstanded aboout Trump's inaction before any attacks. No matter what he did or does, it will never be good enough or right to Democrats.

Let’s see, 60% uranium enrichment publicly admitted by a country that needs no enriched uranium unless it intends to build a bomb. Let’s see, a country that builds thousands of drones and missiles in order to be able to attack its neighbors and potentially use “dirty” bombs with enriched uranium that could render a target contaminated and unusable for literally decades. Let’s see, a country that would attack international shipping that has nothing to do with the conflict only by some third party business association. Hmmmmm, I guess Warner is right.
