Democrats say they were left in dark about plans for US strikes on Iran

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senior Democrats have claimed they were left in the dark about operation Midnight Hammer, the US’s highly coordinated strike on Saturday on Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.

Neither Mark Warner, a US senator of Virginia, nor Jim Himes, a representative of Connecticut, both top Democrats on the Senate and House intelligence panels, were briefed before the attack, according to reports.

But that came amid claims that Republican counterparts were given advance notice of the operation, which involved 125 aircraft – including seven B-2 bombers carrying 14 bunker busters weighing three tons – and 75 Tomahawk missiles launched from US submarines. Axios reported that the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, had been informed shortly before the attacks began at 6.40pm eastern time.

Himes’s committee staff received notification about the strike from the Pentagon only after Donald Trump made the announcement on social media soon before 8pm, according to the outlet.

1. trump did not informed the Democratic members of the Gang of Eight of this attack

Top Democrats on the intelligence committees were kept in the dark about trump's strikes in Iran.

Only their Republican counterparts were briefed, even if they ALL are members of "the gang of eight", who are usually notified before major U.S. Military engagements.

Come on, Democrats. You're already looked upon as being largely impotent against this regime. Why go out of your way to appear clueless, as well? What the hell did you expect?
