On Monday's broadcast of CNN's "Situation Room," Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) argued the U.S. should decrease its military and security presence in Syria and Iraq "in part because we end up being targets for a lot of these militia groups. And, ultimately, we could be in a situation where a large number of Americans get killed, perhaps by an Iranian-backed militia, and then we are in a very different scenario, perhaps with the necessity of delivering a strike at Iran itself."
