I think the place to start is there's a huge amount of uncertainty.

Having said that, I'll still give you my prejudices about a few of the points.

Point two, this has been an extraordinary demonstration of supreme military power and supreme intelligence power.

U.S.

military and the intelligence community and the Israeli counterparts have been way, way, way off the charts.

And I think this should make all Americans proud of what's

been built over this decade, over two decades of investment, but especially the past decade.

The third point, there's no tears to be shed for Khamenei and the Islamic Republic regime.

It's an evil leader, an evil regime.

There's no bad thing that could happen to them that we shouldn't be cheering out of that.

The next point, though, breaking something's a lot easier than building something.

And destroying targets is something that our military knows very well how to do.

Building a new regime, regime change, is something that we know historically doesn't work very well, at least in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We had every word said that's been said in this case, and we then went all in.

and spent more than a billion dollars of many, many thousands of American lives.

And when we went to Afghanistan, the Taliban were ruling.

When we left Afghanistan, the Taliban were ruling.

So I would say, unfortunately, it's against a backdrop that's hard.

The next point is slightly more controversial.

But I think this is Beebe's war.
