Tarci Gabadd, an ambitious spy boss, has a former Syrian dictator Bashal Al Assad, and her before her legitimacy of the United States in the United States about the use of chemical weapons. In the active Senate hearing on Thursday, including doubts, he defended most of the controversial foreign policy. people.
Despite the efforts of the Hawaiian who reassured the unstable Republican Senator, it was immediately revealed that they were struggling to overcome the hesitation to confirm her.
“Yes” and 43-year-old Gavard asked if Senator Martin Heinrich (D-Nm) asked if she had met the subsequent abolished assads to Syria and Lebanon in 2017. It was “judgment”.
“Whether you are in Congress, whether you are a US president, an enemy, or a friend, you can learn, listen, and meet, and be attractive even if you are in Congress. I think you can benefit. “
At that time, Gavard, a member of the Democratic Party, argued that he had burned Assads for his own administration's actions, the use of chemical weapons, and the brutal tactics used for his own people.
On Thursday, she said, “I did not shed tears for the collapse of the Assad administration … today we have an Islamic extremist who is currently in charge of Syria … to celebrate the 9/11 attack. I danced on the street. “
Gabard also openly questioned the evaluation of the United States's Intelligence Community, which the Damascus administration had been behind a series of chemical attacks since the fall of 2012.
“My fear was a repetition of 500,000 soldiers, as we saw in Iraq, for the goal of the Obama administration, which was the change of government in Syria,” he said. We continue to raise some concerns. Intel, which was quoted on the west, may have come from the Syrian area under the control of Al Qaeda.
“What I saw is skeptical of our intelligence community, and at the same time, clarifies that you do not apply the same skepticism to the information coming from Assad's sympathetic. I am, “said Senator Mark Kelly (D-ARIZ). ), A summary of a part of a bipartinic opposition to Gabbard.
Some Democratic members of the Intelligence Committee, such as Ron Widen (D-ORE.), Sympathize with the stance of candidates on privacy issues, and the Republican members Edward Snoden I baked Gabbard about the status.
Before the hearing, Snowden, who is currently living in Russia, Take me to a social media He advised Gabbard to “deny all prior support to the whistleblower as a condition of confirmation.”
“It is a member of the Intelligence Commission if you are in trouble with you, at least, if you are recognized by the largest internal accused of the safety of America, so -called, so -called, harmful national security, It will be useful. ”
Gabard refused to contact Snowden.
“Was Edward Snowden a traitor?” Senator James Rankford (R-OKLA) asked Gabbard Point-Blank.
The ambitious Director of the National Information Bureau (DNI) dodged the question and urged him to follow up from Senator Michael Bennett (D-COLO).
“This is when the rubber hits the road. This is not a moment for social media,” Bennett said. “This is when you need to answer the questions of the people you are voting.”
Gabbard broke down again, arguing that her main goal was to prevent leaks like another Snowden.
“I don't agree with all the information and intelligence I have released, and I don't support if he did it,” she explained at some point and affirmed her beliefs and pardon Snoden. He promised not to push him, “I broke the law.”
Gabard also tried to explain the new support of the FISA section 702.
The candidate said to her previous anxiety about the Senator TEDD BUDD (R-NC) program. 。 “
“The national security ability provided by section 702, which enables non -Americans overseas, is important,” she emphasized.
Gabard has also confirmed that Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin has begun a bloody war in Ukraine, despite its past criticism of the US policy supporting Kiev.
Surprisingly, she also deprived General Casem Solemani in response to Trump's past criticism of a strike in January 2020.
“My concern [at the time] That might have been an escalation action, “said Gabard. “President Trump was right. There was no more escalation, and his policy for Iran was very effective for national security.
“I am consistent [that] At that time, I couldn't access any information behind the strike. “
Gabard is widely seen as a Trump candidate who is the most likely to be appointed by the Senate.
“I would like to warn the Americans watching at home. At this hearing, we may hear the loyalty to our country and the lies and coats that challenge my love,” Gabard said. I warned in her opening statement.
“In fact, what my political opponent is really unstable is that I refuse to be their dolls. I don't like Assad [Libya’s Moammar] Khadafy or any dictator.
“I hate al -Qaeda.”
Tom Cotton (R-ARK), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is later called Gabad and is called the “Cleaners a Whistle”, and at the end of the hearing, he voted for the Senate “as soon as possible”. I revealed that she wanted to move her forward.
