Yeah, I think going into this speech, the American people expected to see that he was, one, going to announce that we were about to withdraw from the war.
That's what Politico reported in advance, was that the president was going to announce the war was winding down.
Of course, that did not happen.
I think people expected either that or they expected to hear that he was going to send ground troops or escalate the war in a major way.
Instead, we got kind of similar to what we've heard before, which is that the president said there would be two to three weeks left that he was going to
destroy Iran's nuclear capacity once again, and that the families of the 13 soldiers whose lives have been lost want him to finish the job in Iran.
I thought this was particularly interesting because I traveled with the president this weekend and was able to get an update from him on Iran while we were on Air Force One flying back to D.C.
And he told us that Iran was allowing the passage of 20 oil ships, that he was very optimistic about negotiations, that they were finally talking to the right people.
and that he could see a war ending soon.
And so I asked him, could you see a deal coming this very week?
And he said, yes, that he could see that.
That could happen.
But of course, we're nearing the end of this week.
We haven't heard a deal yet.
And I think I was somewhat expecting that maybe that deal would be announced last night, that he previewed Sunday night.
But instead, we are sticking with that original four to six weeks.
Sounds like maybe even a little bit longer timeline for the operation.
The president has repeatedly said, he's told the press many times, that regime change has occurred, that they've knocked out the original regime, the one after that, maybe even the one after that, and that they're finally negotiating with the right people.
He has not specifically clarified who those right people are.
He has said a lot about how the Ayatollah's son, they say he's in charge, but no one knows if he's alive.
