"the operation, in terms of destroying what was the beginnings of a missile shield around the enrichment work, needed to go, the congressman said. And this is an operation to get rid of the missiles and the rockets and the drones that were making up that missile shield."
"But General [Dan] Caine has been very clear about the operation, how it's targeted, that it should not take but a few weeks, and he's the one briefing us. And unfortunately, Trump and Hegseth are briefing the American people when they've caused so much chaos and frustration and uncertainty."
"it's one thing to make the decision to move forward with the operation it's another thing to go in and sell it and really bring people along, which they have failed to do."
Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) maintains support for the military operation against Iran's missile infrastructure despite criticism of the Trump administration's handling. While affirming the operation's necessity to destroy Iran's developing missile shield around enrichment facilities, Landsman emphasizes that his public messaging has shifted due to what he characterizes as reckless rhetoric from Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He credits General Dan Caine with providing clear operational briefings and notes the mission should take only weeks. Landsman's primary concern centers on the administration's failure to effectively communicate and justify the operation to the American public, arguing that while the decision to proceed was sound, the execution and public messaging have created unnecessary chaos and uncertainty.
