Israel has covered its bases. Looks like they have Lindsey Graham solidly on their side too.

But, Democrats have a good reason to be against the Iran war right now. First, because it's not popular with the American public and the midterms is a pending matter. And because Trumps looks weak. After that speech it does sound like he's getting pressure from Republicans. There is blood in the water and if Democrats don't take this moment to move, they will lose a valuable opportunity.
