You’ve got to be kidding me, lady. That’s where you want to go with this regarding Operation Epic Fury, and that’s what you used to gauge the mood? No wonder Scott Jennings steamrolled you. To his credit, he did not really lay into her; he let her point do that on its own, but later added that spikes in gas prices and a local state house race in Florida aren’t what should guide national security policy. It was New York Democrat Christine Quinn who made those silly points about Trump and Iran:

Scott Jennings just made a New York State Democrat look like a complete fool on live television.

QUINN: “Here in the States, I think we’re seeing the impact of this already as it relates to the midterms coming up.”
“I mean, look at the Republicans. You all just lost something in Trump’s backyard.”
“I mean, if that doesn’t send a message about how freaked out and scared and worried the American people are, I don’t know what would.”
JENNINGS: “First of all, I think making national security decisions based on a state house result in Florida in an off-year election is not a great way to make national security policy.”
“That would be my rebuttal to that.”
“Number two, generally, you want the commander in chief, in my opinion, to make national security decisions based on one thing, is this in the best interest of protecting the American people?”
“The decision he obviously made was that I’ve set a red line, they’re not going to have nuclear weapons, and I’m tired of them for 47 years terrorizing the world, shooting us with missiles, shooting our allies with missiles, having this aggressive navy.”
“And they crossed a line with him, and now he’s enforcing it.”
“And to say, well, if gas goes up a nickel or we have a state house race in Florida, we can no longer operate national security policy, I think, is an extremely shortsighted and cynical way to assess this.”
“At the end of this, if they’re totally defanged, if they meet our objectives here in terms of nukes and missiles and navy and exporting terror, if there are new people in charge who are willing to abide by some kind of an agreement, that is a net positive for us, for the world!”
