Donald Trump Says ‘We Won’ Iran War
Newsweek ^ | March 11, 2026 | Gabe Whisnant

Posted on 03/11/2026 5:50:37 PM PDT by McGruff

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the war with Iran had already been decided in America's favor.

He told supporters in Hebron, Kentucky, that the conflict was effectively over almost as soon as it began. Trump said U.S. forces knocked out 58 Iranian naval vessels and eliminated the country’s air force.

“Let me say we’ve won. You know, you never like to say too early you won. We won. We won, in the first hour it was over, but we won,” the president said.

He added, “We don’t want to leave early, do we? We’ve got to finish the job."

It is not over, until there is unconditional surrender (or total obliteration). Israel is still trying to root out Hamas terrorists in Gaza. We’ll have the same problem in Iran, unless all Iranian weaponry is taken out. I know President Trump is happy with our successes so far, but a lot more needs to occur before celebrating.

He added, “We don’t want to leave early, do we? We’ve got to finish the job."

It may have been intended as a rhetorical question, but I will give my answer.

And my honest answer it not as intended as disrespectful, although I was taught it was being disrespectful to answer a question with a question like the smart ass Bubba did.

But my answer would be, "Depends on what you mean by finishing the job?"

Hopefully Trump has enough sense not to send in ground troops and ‘nation build’ like GW MORON tried to do, but we’ll see. It all depends on what crazy mark levin tells him to do i guess.

I said earlier this week that it would be over by Friday. Trump is ahead of schedule again.

Now for the regime change and the 20-year occupation.

“Israel is still trying to root out Hamas terrorists in Gaza.”

A really bad analogy.

My first thought. Don’t go Bush on us, Mr. President.

Its not a win until we completely decimate the IRGC and the Iranian Police. So we are far from a win.

On a positive note, word has it that the A10s showed up in Iran today.

Time for some close up rock & Roll.
