DOOCY: "Can we wrap this war up this week?" TRUMP: "Sure, I guess. I don't think so, but it will be soon."

"If Iran, as you say, [were] totally obliterated. Got the missiles, the first two rounds of leadership. Army gone. Navy gone. Can we wrap this war up this week?" Doocy asked.

"Sure, I guess," Trump said.

"Will we?" Doocy continued.

"I don't think so, but it will be soon," Trump said. "It won't be long."

I'm old enough to remember that when the US military was deployed, they needed to have clear and achievable objectives. No one has communicated any real objectives. We're just bombing for shits and giggles.

I'm pushing 70. None of the military "excursions" by the U.S. have had "clear and achievable objectives."

Korea
Bay of Pigs
Vietnam
Middle East - multiple times
Central America - multiple times
Afghanistan
Iraq
Now Iran

Every single military action has been foolish, wasteful, full of lies and a failure.

Our leaders. such as they've been, have ALWAYS been drunk on the power of our military but never achieved the goals they articulated.

Prove me wrong. Please.

His answer was “yes and no” and he didn’t realize what he was saying…he’s out of it and deteriorating rapidly.
