Achieved nothing? Really? If you want to completely lose credibility for an article, put that in the headline. I am the first to admit that the war has challenges and is entering a phase where progress is hard to see and that the military needs to pivot to continue making progress, but the idea that there has been no progress over the past month is so divorced from reality that its laughable.
“Achieved nothing?”
We’ve created WWII levels of rubble.
But examine for a minute the political goals going in:
- Elimination of Iran’s ability to project power outside its borders.
- Elimination of Iran’s nuclear program, and ideally, capture of the nuke material or its neutralization.
Mixed results.
The war must continue until these are achieved or it was all for naught.
