WASHINGTON: U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sought to defend the Iran war in fiery remarks to Congress on Wednesday, saying it was not a quagmire and attacking Democratic lawmakers as “feckless” for criticizing the unpopular conflict.
“You call it a quagmire, handing propaganda to our enemies? Shame on you for that statement,” Hegseth said before the House Armed Services Committee, slamming “reckless, feckless, and defeatist” Congressional Democrats.
