They would have put it out before the fight yesterday.

Like the fact that they didn't, I think, tells you that there's nothing to brag about.

We got a return to how things were before the war, maybe, but worse.

The stream was open before the war.

We were negotiating over the nuclear before the war.

And they're going to say it's the nuclear.

But the whole point of the MOU is that there's now a 60-day period to negotiate over the nuclear issue.

Oh, yeah.

No.

Humiliating week.

It's Carter.

I know it would have been Carter with the hostage deal.

You know, I just like this idea of just utter weakness.

And this is what the Republicans would be saying, like that he couldn't even back up his own bluster, said it was going to be unconditional surrender, ended up begging the Iranians to let him get out of the quagmire.

The whole thing is just totally humiliating.

And if you go back to the pre-war, it is too kind to them to say we've gotten to the pre-war status quo because.

And A, the Strait of Hormuz will not be at the pre-war status quo and Iran will have more control over it and some kind of economic benefit from it that they didn't have before.

But even setting the Strait aside, one of the rationales that you heard from the misguided but reasonable supporters of the war at the beginning was that this could be the moment to topple the regime because they were so weak.

There were protests in the streets.

The Iranian economy was in tatters.
