People were pretty psyched about that, actually, because they understood what the cause was.
I think you're right.
I'm interested to see what the polling that comes out on Sunday looks like, because support for going in was ticking up.
It was hitting 50 percent in some polls, like in the Fox News poll.
But what is consistently underwater with Republicans, independents and Democrats is boots on the ground.
And now it seems like there is no possibility that that isn't going to be the case.
And we're not talking about like a couple people here and there.
We've lost, what is it, seven or eight service members at this point.
But, you know, when you're sending thousands of more troops in and you already have 50,000 in the region, some boots are going to be hitting the ground.
And again, Bibi Netanyahu was saying the quiet part out loud.
He said, yeah, there are going to be boots on the ground.
Yeah.
You know, what's interesting...
is the question of whether there needs to be a peacekeeping force because so let's say there is some off ramp and trump basically you know he says they were firing 900 missiles a day now they're firing 8 to 12 this is obviously a win the ayatollah is dead never mind about ayatollah jr or any of that and says we got to get out of there just like after operation midnight hammer if
you don't destroy the infrastructure in an enduring way.
They're just going to keep building it up.
And Marco Rubio has acknowledged as much that, you know, you can stop the drone and missile capacity for a set amount of time, but they're going to rebuild.
And then is this something that we do, you know, every five years?
It's like a tradition, right, that we have to go back in and try to wipe it out.
I mean, Israel won't settle for that.
