He didn’t explain why but one of the paid military strategy commenters on Fox News said a few weeks ago, taking over Kharg Island and defending ships in the gauntlet of the Strait of Hormuz were two strategies not to pursue. I wish he had been allowed to elaborate. Seems to go against all the FR beliefs.

Seems weak kneed to me but the optics of invading Iran and the casualties, and the oil price, before the mid-terms...blah, blah, blah. Maybe he’s low on powder.

Lincoln had the stones to do it before his election! He won’t get on Rushmore if he doesn’t put the muzzies in their place.
