Senate Democrats said after receiving a classified briefing from the Trump administration on Tuesday that they’re increasingly concerned about the US-Israeli war on Iran dragging on “forever”—and involving American troops in a ground invasion.

“I am more fearful than ever, after this briefing, that we may be putting boots on the ground,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told reporters, criticizing the Trump administration for not providing the American public with information that was given to senators behind closed doors.

Blumenthal’s warning came a day after Donald Trump publicly declined to rule out a ground invasion of Iran, saying he doesn’t “have the yips with respect to boots on the ground.”

    So are they going to do anything about it or continue to silently support him?

      AIPAC donations will determine that they will continue to silently support him. Maybe a few strongly worded letters will be sent.
