Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday called on lawmakers to oppose the Senate repeal of the presidential authorization for use of military force in Iraq, warning that the move would further embolden Iran.
The Kentucky Republican said last week’s attacks on U.S. troops by Iranian-backed militias in Syria should serve as a harbinger of further challenges in the region. This comes as the Senate advances legislation to repeal the 2002 authorization Congress passed green-lighting the Iraq War as well as a 1991 authorization allowing U.S. military action in the Gulf War.
“Iraq has come under extremely heavy influence and manipulation from Iran. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has spent years standing up political parties, militias and terrorist proxies in Iraq whose chief loyalty is to Tehran,” Mr. McConnell said. “Our enemies in Iran who have spent two decades targeting and killing Americans in the Middle East would be delighted to see America dial down our military presence, authorities and activities in Iraq.”

I thought he was still recovering in an undisclosed location with thoughts of retirement.
I guess the concussion did not help his reasoning. Needs an amplified dose.
Did he say this in front of a camera, or was this a written press release?
That’s what I thought too.
Kentucky. We need to talk.
There were six other candidates you could have voted for in the 2020 Republican primary. Six other candidates and 82.8 percent of you chose to vote for Mitch McConnell.
Why?
“I don’t watch news anymore. Is Mitch out of the nursing home?
Did he say this in front of a camera, or was this a written press release?”
He’s out of rehab and working from home.
This was written.
He is the poster child for everything wrong with the GOP.
Ah, thanks.
Damn. I was hoping that traitor Mitch was a vegetable by now.
