As the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran stretches into its second week, President Donald Trump has been floating the idea that he wants to declare Mission Accomplished. “We will. We’ve already won in many ways, but we haven’t won enough,” Trump declared on Monday afternoon in a speech before Republican lawmakers in Florida.
Iran, however, has shown no sign of ceasing its attacks. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is steadily launching missiles at cities across Israel and continues to strike U.S. military assets and outposts in the Persian Gulf. “The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are capable of continuing at least a six-month intense war at the current pace of operations,” IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naini said Sunday in video remarks broadcast on state media. “Iran will determine when the war ends.”
“Their missile capability is down to about 10 percent, maybe less." Makes one wonder if Trump really believes this based on false information given to him by those around him, his dementia has cooked it up in his brain pudding, or it’s just another lie he wants to make true by repeating it. Could be all three I guess. Lyndon Johnson actually thought the US was winning in Vietnam because the Pentagon was giving him wildly inflated NV and Vietcong casualty number…right up until the Tet Offensive smacked him across the face.
