拿霍尔木兹去吧！向亨尼·扬曼致歉，这似乎是关于伊朗的新兴民主党信息。周二晚在电视辩论中，爱荷华州参议员候选人乔什·图雷克被问及让伊朗控制海峡的问题。图雷克先生认为战争的可接受结局是什么？“尽快，”他回答道。他两次说“立刻”。
Take Hormuz—please! With apologies to Henny Youngman, that appears to be an emerging Democratic message on Iran. In a TV debate Tuesday night, Iowa’s Senate candidate Josh Turek was asked about letting Iran control the strait. What does Mr. Turek consider an acceptable ending to the war? “As soon as possible,” he replied. Twice he said “immediately.”
与此同时，在缅因州，民主党人特罗伊·杰克逊在周二的辩论中建议削减对伊朗的军事行动经费，尽管美军仍在战争地区。现任参议员苏珊·柯林斯是共和党的拨款委员会主席。“如果她想停止这笔经费，她有能力停止，”杰克逊先生说。他对特朗普总统的建议是：“你只能自己承担这个，因为没有办法解决这个问题。我们还是撤出吧。”
Meantime in Maine, Democrat Troy Jackson in a Tuesday debate suggested defunding military action against Iran, despite U.S. troops still in the war zone. Incumbent Sen. Susan Collins is the GOP’s appropriations chair. “If she wants to stop the funding for it, she has the ability to stop the funding,” Mr. Jackson said. His advice to President Trump? “You’re just going to have to own this one, because there is no way to resolve this. Let’s just get out.”
两党都听到了公众对特朗普在战争中反复无常行为的不满，这就是为什么许多共和党人也在批评它。但伊朗仍在霍尔木兹海峡向船只开火，因为它想把这条国际水道变成收费路线，为其恐怖帝国赚取数十亿美元。图雷克先生对此没意见吗？杰克逊先生会切断资金来阻止它吗？
Both parties have heard the public dissatisfaction with Mr. Trump’s erratic conduct of the war, which is why many Republicans are also criticizing it. But Iran is still firing on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, because it wants to turn the international waterway into a toll route to earn billions of dollars for its terror empire. Mr. Turek is OK with that? And Mr. Jackson would cut off the money to prevent it?
“我不想让我们的部队得不到保护，”柯林斯女士回应。“我认为那样完全不负责任。我确实想确保他们的安全。他们分布在伊朗周边的各国。”除了向附近船只开火，德黑兰的弥赛亚政权还曾向阿拉伯联合酋长国、沙特阿拉伯、巴林、科威特、约旦和以色列开火。
“I don’t want to leave our troops unprotected,” Ms. Collins responded. “I think that would be totally irresponsible. I do want to make sure that they are safe. They are in countries all around Iran.”Besides firing on nearby ships, the messianic regime in Tehran has also shot at the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan and Israel.
