Lawrence O'Donnell, that guy says, actually, Mr. Secretary, it's ma'am.

I...

This is a really great mark for the U.S.

military and for the Trump administration on this rescue mission.

This rescue mission, for the guy who goes down on Good Friday and he's rescued on Easter Sunday, this thing was pulled off so flawlessly in Iran, so improbably, that the only thing that the Libs could find to criticize is...

Leave no man behind, which I think most of us actually support.

By the way, man is a gender neutral noun.

It can be.

In the beginning, God created man, both male and female, created he them.

So Lawrence O'Donnell seems to be flunking on mere English language as well.

But on top of that, yes, you think...

If I were in the White House right now, I would be feeling very good about myself because when it comes to Iran, I argued against strikes on Iran before it happened.

I am very much an Iran skeptic.

If the New York Times reporting is to be believed, which of course is a big if, it seems like there were a lot of big figures, not just some of the advisors, but including the Secretary of State and the Vice President, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CIA Director, who all urged a little caution on Iran.

So I'm not coming out here as some belligerent war hawk or anything like that.

But I think, all right, if this is the best the Libs have to attack this mission five and a half weeks in, the White House must be feeling pretty good.

And especially if they can wrap it up by week six or so, and the best they have is Lawrence O'Donnell saying, well, I just don't like the word that the Secretary of War used on the historically successful mission.

You know, those are pretty good marks.

And then we can move on to the issues that people are really focused on.

Well, this is, you know, the fear is if this continues into May, June, July, I mean, the Republicans certainly can kiss the House of Representatives goodbye, but they might kiss the Senate goodbye.
