I really believe that.
He's just going to declare victory and come home.
But I was at a dinner last week with several...
Professors, full professors who are also part time advisors, paid advisors to the Pentagon leadership.
And they are genuinely concerned that the Israelis are going to use a nuclear weapon.
Whoa.
That, you know, the that the Iranians, the Iranians have proven to be far tougher than anybody expected.
Anybody who's, you know, blind, deaf and dumb anyway.
And and they really believed that the Iranian government was a house of cards where as soon as we fired the first rocket, the whole thing would collapse.
These Democrats would rise up and everybody would live happily ever after.
And that hasn't happened.
And not only has that not happened, but the Iron Dome hasn't been so iron.
After all, just this weekend, the Iranians were able to bomb Dimona, which is where the Israelis enriched their own uranium for their own nuclear weapons, which apparently we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of.
Israelis are being killed.
We have no idea how many because it's now a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison if you reveal any bomb damage assessment information, including the number of Israeli casualties.
So how do we get out of this?
If we decide just to come home, where does that leave the Israelis?
It leaves the Israelis standing alone and they can't abide that.
And so these professors believe that there's this real danger of the Israelis finally using a nuclear weapon.
I was shocked when I heard it, to tell you the truth, because I respect these guys.
