Let me start off by saying that I have little patience for reporters, pundits, and politicians who want our military officials to tell them when a war that is impending or underway will be over.
That's not how war works.
War is by its very nature out of control. The Pentagon generals, admirals, and think tanks can plan, contingency plan, strategize, and contingency strategize 24/7 until the cows come home; but, as we supposedly learned in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, the enemy doesn't necessarily cooperate.
I watched most of the press conference by Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff General Dan Caine and Secretary of Defense, War, or Whatever We're Calling This Now Pete Hegseth, and I would have liked to see reporters ask what the goal of Operation Epstein Fuckery is, now that Iran's sclerotic leaders have been blown to smithereens.
Is it to wipe out Iran's defenses? To inspire the youth of Teheran to rise up and overthrow sharia law? Is it to install the highest bidder as viceroy and make Iranian oil production another wholly owned subsidiary of Trump Inc.?
Only time will tell. Hegseth certainly won't.
