Lawmakers from both the Democratic and Republican parties left a closed-door meeting on Thursday feeling dissatisfied, citing a lack of clarity from Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon’s policy chief, regarding the Trump administration’s National Defense Strategy and the conflict with Iran. The session, convened by the Senate Armed Services Committee, began with difficulty as Colby opened his remarks.

Is anyone else concerned that both parties are frustrated? That usually signals deeper systemic issues at play here.
I’m shocked that Colby couldn’t provide any clarity. This feels like a classic avoidance tactic.
Vague strategy is a dangerous thing. Taxpayers deserve concrete answers, not ambiguity, especially regarding Iran.
