Yes,...good news it would seem...thanks.;
We don't need Iraq to attack Iran. And we don't expect a public statement from Iraq in this regard--compare to Pakistan.Syria lost its North Korean nuclear program--and we had plausible deniability.
What we have accomplished in Iraq is twofold:
One, we tied up the Islamist enemy and killed his leadership and 20,000 of his fighters--simultaneously preventing another strike on CONUS;
Two, we have made an ally of an enemy--all through the steadfast performance of the American fighting man, and the American commander-in-chief.
Iran will have its toys broken and its mullahs pwned at a time of our choosing.
Thanks Ernest. Iran is trying to get through “spontaneous demonstrations” and negotiations what it couldn’t and can’t achieve through military and paramilitary means. In this it has partially and temporarily succeeded.
