EXCERPT:
BRENNAN: “Well, I think with your previous question, as far as the extension of this deadline, a charitable interpretation of that is to give negotiations more time to see whether or not there could be a compromise reached, as well as to give U.S. military forces the opportunity to set the battlefield and to prepare for what I would think is going to be a horrific escalation of hostilities if, in fact, we use these forces, these Marines and others to land. I'm not surprised also if Donald Trump is getting bored with this. This is going on, I think, far longer than he or his advisers thought would happen.”
