On Thursday on CNN\u2019s \u201cAnderson Cooper 360,\u201d Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) said that after the midterm elections in November, Democrats would investigate what happened in U.S. military actions in Iran.<\/p>\n
Cooper asked, \u201cYou\u2019re calling on Congress to get\u00a0answers about that Iranian attack on a U.S. facility in\u00a0Kuwait that killed six American\u00a0service members in early March. At the\u00a0time, CNN reported that there were no warnings or sirens that the building didn\u2019t have the kind of fortification to\u00a0shield it from drones or missiles. CBS just spoke to some of the service members who survived the attack, who reiterated that it was not a fortified position and that it was a known target. Have you seen any appetite among your Republican colleagues on the Armed Services Committee to\u00a0investigate what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
Deluzio said, \u201cYeah, and there have been an effort from many of us to push for oversight and investigation. When when word first got out of what happened to those Americans and now with cbs reporting, talking to some of the service members, I would think my Republican colleagues would wake up and decide, this is a time to put our troops and their safety ahead of protecting anyone at the Pentagon. I did see Chairman\u00a0Crawford of the\u00a0Intel Committee say something to that effect that he might be open to this. I think, of course, the\u00a0Congress has got to look at this. This goes back to a tradition, I\u2019m\u00a0thinking of Harry Truman in the\u00a0Truman Committee of looking at misconduct and war profiteering and more that put our troops at risk. This is the exact kind of\u00a0oversight we\u2019ve got to do. It should be bipartisan it if it\u2019s not after November, Democrats will do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
