FWIW, we're there and if Trump pulls out before whatever is left of the government falls I'll be disappointed. It will feel like the job wasn't finished.

If Iran is allowed to reconstitute we'll be right back in 10 years.

When your opponent is drowning shove a hose down their throat and turn it on full blast!

People should consider Option 3: declare victory without a deal and expect the world to come fix our mess.

Trump should go to Congress and let them vote on it.

But, since that isnt going to happen, he should probably declare victory and be done with the whole thing.

None of us have any first hand knowledge of Iran's nuclear ambitions, or the possibility of them ever developing a nuclear weapon.

Trump.can just assure us all is well, throw a parade, and move on to the next crisis.

This was always going to be the end result. The US needs to get Israeli lobby out of our government. Trump got us into this quagmire and now he's a loser.

The man said "unconditional surrender", which used to mean complete capitulation by your opponent, not just that looks good enough.

I’ll trust that Trump and the pentagon know what they’re doing.

“ WIW, we're there and if Trump pulls out before whatever is left of the government falls I'll be disappointed. It will feel like the job wasn't finished.”(quote CU).

Spot on, C. If Jihadist are left in control of Iran they won’t play it in the open again. They played a political game this time, demanding an equal, National Moral Right to possess the same weapons that ideologically opposed Nations have. This demand for Equal Justice was ‘Trumped’ by superior and arbitrary brute force.

What the Jihadists will likely do is take the coming investment money from Iran’s oil and direct it to underground saboteurs who will plan for a devastating coordinated ‘first punch’ hit on American Infrastructure. Like October 7. Water resources/reservoirs (dirty bombs on drones), electrical grid (large transformers), food distribution (interstate transportation and terror hits on Walmarts,) major sporting events, holiday gatherings and entertainment venues and bloody psyops which inflame racial sensitivities.

Bottom line: if left in power they will NOT play fair again. “When they say peace, peace…sudden destruction cometh”. Trump and his people should know this unless they can’t see the forest for the trees. But they are caught between a rock and a hard place having to get out quick for political reasons.

Hegseth is already floating the "there has been regime change" lie, so I think we are seeing this pivot in real time.

Stay in control till the uranium threat is safely dealt with and the Islamist terrorist hold on the region is destroyed.

He shouldn't stop until the government falls or else what was the point? Not sure what you mean by "stay in Iran", but we shouldn't have troops.

The U.S. has had to fix the "worlds" mess for decades.. Trump has had to fix the democrats "Mess" of an open border for 4 years.. Where was your concern then?

GTFO before the MIC has a chance to create another 20-year disaster.

Hopefully the Persians get their stuff together and run off the jihadists. If not, returning every 10 years to bomb them back into the stone age is an acceptable arrangement.

Thats a bold strategy, Cotton. But its an easy way to just reassure yourself that, no matter the circumstances, it will be the right move.

1) thanks for at least being honest/reasonable with your estimate

2) if we are "right back there" in 10 years and the rest of the evil in this world takes note of what we do to someone when we are "right back there" I can absolutely live with that.

This has needed to happen for 47 years. The buildup we just destroyed occurred over 47 years.

If we need to be "right back there" in 10 years to clean it up again so be it.

In fact, if the worst thing that happens with evil in this world in the next 10 years is we have to be "right back there"........ sign me up!!!
