Trump suddenly seems anxious to end the war as American casualties mount and Iran finds ways to hit back
The president is shifting the timeline, after initially saying military campaign would take four to six weeks
It was Mike Tyson who famously said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."The Trump administration’s disclosure that 140 U.S. service members were wounded in the initial attack that killed Ayatollah Ali Khameini and other top leaders highlights the ability of even an overwhelmed enemy to inflict pain.
There are some, including Republicans, who want Trump to declare victory and get out. He can boast that he disrupted the terror state’s latest attempt to develop a nuclear weapon.
Yesterday, in fact, the president told Axios that the war will end "soon" because there is "practically nothing left to target … Little this and that … Any time I want it to end, it will end."
Trump’s explanation: "We have done more damage than we thought possible."
Just days ago, the president said the military campaign against Tehran would take four to six weeks.
More important than the timing, Trump had insisted that Iran must undergo regime change. He proclaimed that he had to approve the country’s next leader. Well, with the Iranians anointing the ayatollah’s son, who Trump had specifically deemed unacceptable, that obviously didn’t happen.
