And I think the last time they briefed, they talked about they had hit 11,000 targets.
Well, that to me sounds like a body count from the old days, and we know that body counts are not a sign of victory or success.
Hitting targets doesn't make you successful.
The Iranians in particular, and Americans are very aware of this, work through proxies, through Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen, militant groups across Syria and Iraq.
If you're not gonna dismantle those terror networks and go after that leadership,
you are still leaving a significant Iranian terror capability on the table.
It is a good thing that their military is diminished.
Nobody wants to see Iran be a military powerhouse.
But the difference between what the administration has achieved so far and any long-term success
victory goal.
There is, you know, a wide gulf between the two right now and not at all clear that the U.S.
will pursue this to the end.
And that may be the biggest problem of all, Ali.
If the administration basically walks away from this, declares victory and goes home, what becomes of
of our relationships with our allies in the region?
Will US troops ever go back to the Gulf states, to their bases there?
What happens with that security framework that the US has in the Middle East?
And you can readily see that go on to the US relationship with countries like Russia and China.
I am Michelle.
