EXCERPT:
MOYNIHAN: "Something I would note is, every lawmaker you played started their thought by saying, 'If this is true...' And the fact of the matter is, there is a lot in dispute tonight. We don‘t know the answers to everything. And Batya raised an important point that there is a difference between disabling a boat and destroying it. If it was only disabled, under the laws of war, actually, they would have potentially been able to make that mission a military target. But I think a couple important points to make here more generally is, you know, it‘s interesting to hear the media talking about this breathlessly for hours and hours when, you know, Biden or Obama drone strikes, the only thing that needed to happen was John Kirby would go on TV and say, 'Oh, we made a mistake. We‘re learning from it.' And nobody batted an eye. And yet now this has become the biggest — this has become the biggest story."
