Crow Statement on Trump War With Iran

AURORA — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO-06), a former paratrooper and Army Ranger who serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement in response to the Trump Administration's “major military operations” and calls for regime change in Iran:

“Trump is plunging us into another war in the Middle East. He’s learned nothing from decades of failed conflicts. It’s a war of choice with no clear end game, no authorization from Congress, and little support from Americans.

“I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism. Americans want us out of the regime change business.

“Endless war has cost us thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. Meanwhile, Americans are struggling to pay for health care, groceries, and housing.

“This Administration owes Congress and Americans answers. Congress should return to Washington immediately to vote on the War Powers Resolution and ensure the safety of our servicemembers.”
