Pete Hegseth Told Congress Iran Facilities Were Already Obliterated

Pete Hegseth literally told Congress under oath that Iran's nuclear facilities were already obliterated from last summer's strikes, then had to sit there while lawmakers pointed out that the entire justification for the new war, which started just sixty days ago, was a threat his own administration said it already destroyed. The official cost is twenty-five billion, but analysts say that number cannot survive basic math, and there are reports of a two-hundred-billion supplemental request quietly circulating behind closed doors. The sixty-day War Powers deadline hits Friday, nobody with the votes plans to hold an authorization vote, and the senior military officers who would normally be sounding alarms have, in many cases, just been fired.
