And the honest view, Joe, is that they do not actually have a solution.
If you actually ask them, what do you want us to do?
What is the goal that you're trying to achieve?
You know, they'll say things like, we'll just bomb them to oblivion.
OK, we can do that.
We can drop a lot of bombs.
But what does that accomplish if there's still a crazy person who's still unwilling to shoot a few drones at the Strait of Hormuz?
What the president has done, I think very, very capably, is said, we're going to use military force in this situation when it's connected to something we're trying to achieve.
So if you shoot at ships, we're going to shoot at the facilities at which you used to shoot at the ships.
But we're not just going to do something open-ended indefinitely.
We're not just going to bomb and bomb and bomb.
We're going to try to use our military force as one of the many tools that we have to solve the problem.
And obviously, like, I'm biased, but I think that's exactly the right approach.
I actually – you have to read between the lines a little bit because if you look at what Mike Pence or some of the conservative hawks, like people who voted for us but have been very critical of me, very critical of the administration, if you actually look at what they're proposing, they just want the military campaign to go on forever and they can't actually identify what it is that they're trying to accomplish.
None of them can identify what it is they're trying to accomplish.
And I read two things between the lines.
I think some of them want us to accomplish a complete change in the government of Iran, to topple the clerics and to replace those clerics with somebody who's much friendlier.
But look, what is our experience with doing that?
It's awful.
It's not good, right?
