Anti-American Sentiment': Scott Jennings Scoffs as CNN Panelist Calls Iran War an Unmitigated Disaster'

"This whole mission has been a disaster. And I think it's an unmitigated disaster for the world, for the United States of America. It's a disaster for the 170 school children who were killed by our U.S. Tomahawk missile disaster. It's a disaster for the seven U.S. soldiers who were killed in this mission."

"In August, they told us they had completely decimated Iran's nuclear program. Then we had to get at them because they were getting nukes. Then it wasn't about nukes; it was about regime change. Then it wasn't about regime change; it was about terrorism. So they don't have their story straight."

"You wishcasting an American disaster is amazing to me. It's incredible to me. It's funny to me that you're hoping that we lose this war to Iran."

During a CNN NewsNight panel discussion, commentator Scott Jennings and former Clinton aide Keith Boykin clashed over characterizing a U.S. military operation as a disaster. Boykin cited civilian casualties, including 170 school children killed by Tomahawk missiles, and seven U.S. soldiers lost in the mission. Jennings accused Boykin of expressing anti-American sentiment and wishing for American failure. Podcast host Leigh McGowan joined the debate, arguing American taxpayers have the right to question a war costing $11,000 per second. She criticized administration officials for repeatedly changing their stated justifications for the conflict, shifting from claims about decimating Iran's nuclear program to regime change to counterterrorism.
