I Have No Doubt: Mark Kelly Would Love to Go to Jail

The story right now is that Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly went on CBS and “blabbed” classified information on the state of American munitions.

Here’s what he said:

MARGARET BRENNAN: Senator, CBS has reported that the cost of the Iran war is at least $50 billion. I know you have been pressing the Pentagon on defining just how many of our munitions have been used up in the course of this conflict to date. You said you’ve been worried about how the U.S. would hold up in a conflict with China because of all of this. Have you gotten an answer on how depleted U.S. munitions are?

SEN. MARK KELLY: Yes, Margaret, we have, we’ve been tracking it a number of times. We’ve been briefed by the Pentagon on specific munitions. Actually, it’s been pretty detailed on Tomahawks, ATACMS, SM-3, THAAD rounds, Patriot rounds, so those interceptor rounds to defend ourselves. And the numbers are, I think it’s fair to say it’s shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines, because this president got our country into this without a strategic goal, without a plan, without a timeline, and because of that, we’ve expended a lot of munitions, and that means the American people are less safe. Whether it’s a conflict in the western Pacific with China or somewhere else in the world, the munitions are depleted. You may have seen me ask the secretary of defense this question about how long it’s going to take to replenish. We’re talking about years.
