WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the US-Israel joint strikes on Iran, congressional leaders from both parties moved swiftly Sunday to clarify that the newest armed conflict is simply a ‘war of choice,’ with no hidden fees, subscriptions, or ongoing commitments.
Republican Senator Tom Cotton, appearing on ‘Meet the Press,’ reassured viewers: ‘This war is a great value for the American people. Think of it like a seven-day free trial—if at any time you don’t like the war, just cancel before the next billing cycle.’
Meanwhile, critics on the other side of the aisle expressed concerns, with Democratic Senator Mark Warner demanding more transparency. ‘Before we get locked into another forever war, the administration needs to answer vital questions, like whether Iranian airspace comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee,’ Warner said, adding that Democrats do welcome the ‘elimination of those who wear too many sashes.’
Senator Lindsey Graham, long known for his affinity for high-yield conflicts, insisted, ‘I’ve read the terms and conditions thoroughly this time. There’s no fine print, just extra fireworks.’ Graham then gave a thumbs-up to the camera, reportedly confusing actual war with a summer blockbuster.
A senior Defense Department spokesperson, speaking anonymously from beneath a pile of hastily-drafted exit strategies, emphasized the temporary nature of the operation: ‘Americans have commitment issues, and we respect that. This war is as non-committal as a first date. You can even ghost if things get awkward.’
At press time, the White House sent out a push notification reminding the public to ‘Like and Subscribe for more foreign policy adventures.’
