The war began on Saturday, February 28. That was the date the United States and Israel began launching airstrikes.
That means the war will be four weeks old on Saturday. President Trump had promised it would be over in 4-5 weeks.
In the fog of war, it is difficult to know how things stand. Each side makes its own demands, claims and counterclaims. But Trump has nine days to keep his promise to bring the war to a conclusion within 5 weeks. The economic consequences of the war are mounting.
The below video makes certain claims about why Iran has proved to be a bit more artful and resilient than Iraq was 20-30 years ago. The video is not flattering to the British, the Israeli’s and the Americans with regard to their history in the Middle East. I cannot vouch for the truth of the claims in the video. But the Trump presidency was a major opportunity to disengage ourselves from the Middle East. Obviously, that has not happened.
We need to be concerned about the men in our military and be praying for them:
Now Greg that was so lopsided that I laughed out loud. And a lot of Islamic propaganda. Not very patriotic either. Boo hiss !!!
I think, Fred, we need to be concerned about our troops. There are different ways of interpreting events. Greg Reese provides one of those ways. The reality is likely more complex. The Persians are adversaries who have been killing our people for many decades; and they cannot be trusted. The question is where we go from here.
