Nobody forced that out of them, either. They were eager to say it.
Even including this:
SIDNER: Will you vote to authorize this war?REED: I will vote to invoke the War Powers Act, which would give the president 30 days to terminate the operation, except for activities defending the state of Israel, which is critical to our reliance and alliance on Israel.
Israel is a partner (senior or junior, you can argue) in this! This is their "defense" strategy!
