On Wednesday, Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) released a statement following the Department of Defense’s announcement that they have authorized a deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and associated crew of U.S. military personnel to Israel. Rep. Rosendale strongly disagrees with the administration bypassing Congress and putting boots on the ground in a foreign country.
“Why was Congress not consulted before the escalation of a foreign war by sending a “THAAD battery and associated crew of U.S. military personnel” into a war zone?” Rep. Rosendale continued, “The Biden-Harris admin is a case study on what NOT to do overseas! They removed sanctions from Iran allowing them to enrich themselves and buy weapons to attack others, and then they send troops and bombs to Israel to fight Iran! The Biden-Harris admin is facilitating both sides of this war and creating havoc in the region.”
