CNN's Scott Jennings accused former Democratic congressman Joe Cunningham of cheering against American success in Iran during a tense throwdown on Thursday afternoon.
In an appearance on The Arena, Cunningham argued that there is "not much appetite at all" for President Donald Trump'soperation in Iran.
"Number one, I mean Scott talked about success — how is that defined? Because first it was described as regime change, and then it was suppressing terrorism. On the back end, you also have, fresh in everyone's mind, Iraq and Afghanistan, and my generation, who just do not wanna go into a war without clear cut objectives to which Americans don't feel directly threatened," continued Cunningham. "And on top of that, the billions of dollars we're spending every single week, which ultimately could add up to trillions of dollars to our national debt, there's just a lot of reasons to kind of view this as a bad idea. And I think it's-, I just don't think the appetite's there, and I don't think-"
"I don't understand your vibe. We're at war with people who have been at war with the Western Civilization for 47 years, and you appear to me to be, you know, sort of cheering against American success. I hate to break it to you, but for 47 years they have killed American troops, maimed American personnel, waged war on the civilized world," interjected Jennings. "They have missiles, they have drones, and they told our own negotiators they have material for 11 nuclear bombs. Does this not seem imminent to you?"
"This is a false choice, Scott, you push," fired back Cunningham. "You can be against Iran, all the terrorism they support, you can be against Maduro and toppling them — let me finish, let me finish — but when it comes down to strapping your kids and sending them off to war, and spilling their blood, and adding billions and trillions of dollars to our national debt whenever we have our problems here at home. Health care is out of control, our roads are crumbling. We have a lot of problems here at home."

We are seeing the inevitable result of putting a piece of human garbage like Donald Trump in charge of our country. Patriotic people do not want Trump to succeed. We also don't want the US to lose the war.
Chaos is having its day.

As a whole, he is not lying.
Liz Peek: Democrats rage over Trump’s Iran strikes as exiles cheer ayatollah’s fall
Absolutely EVERYTHING Trump is for, leftists are against it. Does not matter what it is.
So, now Trump has led the US back to being the policeman for the world? The US is supposed to fight every war for the benefit of 'western civilization'? Where does America First fit into those justifications?
It's a little late for Donald Trump claiming to be the heir apparent for the Reagan legacy.
How long (in months) do you think it would take between the production of a working nuclear bomb and Iran's first attempt to use it against the United States?

Trump has sped this up, not slowed it down - while simultaneously draining our economy into his pockets and costly attacks on other countries. The ME is severely destabilized and a critical shipping route is closed. 270 children and educators were murdered with a multimillion dollar US weapon, which is a war crime of epic proportions. There is no good spin on this “excursion”.
A very, very, very long time. The US deterrence has prevented the Soviet Union and Russia from using nukes since 1949. How many bombs could Iran deploy? How many bombs can the US deploy?
The Iranian regime, state, and population would cease to exist. That would be the ultimate regime change. Even Iranians would not be that stupid.
If nukes are so great then why hasn't Israel used them?
Has he?
What was the old time frame and what is the new?
Show me the money trail.
"Destabilized" implies it used to be stable.
A terrible situation. Although I'm not sure how the cost of the weapon makes it better or worse. It could have been a $270 weapon and it would still be terrible.
When is the last war that had a "good spin"?
I'm never happy about sending our kids into harm's way. I'm never happy about economic disruption that complicates investment strategies (yes, that includes these fucking tariffs).
But I'm also not willing to ignore almost 50 years of Iran financing, organizing, or otherwise providing material support for terror attacks around the world including on on US soil.
They backed the group who car bombed the US embassy in Beirut and later drove a truck bomb into the Marine barracks in 1983. Then they backed the 1984 embassy annex bombing in Beirut. They've provided financing or other material assistance for terrorist attacks from Argentina to Bulgaria. They provided material assistance for the 9/11 attacks in the USA. They've attempted multiple assassinations within the USA, including the president.
I trust I don't need to remind anyone about Oct 7, but I may need to remind everyone that they killed 46 Americans in that attack.
You conspicuously didn't answer my question, so let me help you. As soon as they get a working nuclear device, they will attempt to use it against the United States.
So this idea that we're returning to 'the world's policemen', as though we're a primary target of these genocidal fuckers is a bit stupid.
Russians are not genocidal religious fanatics willing to use suicide bomber tactics.
They only need one. Think about what happens to American society when a single device detonates in someplace like Chicago or Dallas or Los Angeles.
Iran is a legendary sponsor of terrorist organizations. They're not going to tell you they did it. The thing is just going to go off in a warehouse somewhere, or in the hold of a private jet, or in the belly of an oil tanker as it approaches harbor. Some terrorist group will claim responsibility for it, and it will take years to prove they are funded by Iran.
If you think we can keep it out of the country, I remind you the size of shipments bringing cocaine and fentanyl into the country.
They are not genocidal religious fanatics willing to use suicide bomber tactics.
Yes, Venezuela and Iran being the obvious targets with Cuba in the wings.
If not us, Who, said the Owl, Who?
Nowhere, American farmers are talking about strikes or quitting. Because of our teeth rattlingly expensive "excursion" into Iran,
21% of the worlds normal flow of fossil fuels and 33% of the global fertilizers are stuck in the Persian Gulf.
Air travel is struggling.
Do Democrats want America to win? There absolute laser focus on promoting only negative storylines sure gives the impression they don't. Look around. We have people rationalizing terror attacks on schools and censoring criticism of terrorists.
Outside of acts of treason, how would they act differently if they were rooting against America.?
They want a better president
Is America winning? America is certainly destroying things. But the US doesn't appear to be any better off.
Can you imagine someone saying that with a straight face, and actually thinking rational people might believe it? Totally bonkers.
You would think so.
But it happened today on this site.
