And really, the only answer that really matters is, what does President Trump view as victory?
But how would you define victory?
I would find victories that President Trump set out.
The military operation to defang and declaw the Iranian settlement.
No nuclear weapons, destroy their industrial base, destroy their ballistic missile and their missile capabilities, those four or five things.
But you have to make sure that we can guarantee free passage of the Strait of Hormuz.
I was there in 1979 and 1980.
I was on a destroyer during the Iranian hostage crisis.
We were the first

And when we go to Karg Island and those islands and everything, we have to have the UAE, the Saudis, and Qatar military have to be... This has to be all... The Persian Gulf countries have to have troops, okay?
We have to have a unified front.
This can't be Americans just going and doing it.
