You got to look at Israel's position.

I'm not a fan of Israel at all, but Israel's doing the rational thing for their own interest, which is Iran is a check on their power.

It just is.

North Korea is a check on China.

Saudi Arabia is a check on Iran.

It shouldn't be controversial to say Libya was a check on Israel.

You don't welcome that, but it's the devil you know versus the devil you don't.

Remember the Arab Spring?

Everyone was jumping up and down and they killed Gaddafi.

Well, maybe it wasn't the best foreshadowing of a democratic uprising to pull a man literally out of the gutter, to pistol whip him and to anally sodomize him.

That's what the so-called freedom fighters did to Muammar Gaddafi in the Democratic Arab Spring uprising.

That is not a good omen.

And so as crazy as the Iranian regime is right now, maybe the thing that follows could be worse.

And I think the president got really bad advice, really bad intel.

He thought this was going to be just as easy as Venezuela.

They were just going to lay down their arms.

The Iranians, say what you want about them, they are hardcore.

And they're very smart.

Correct.
