After Years of Preparation, America’s Military Is Executing a Brilliant Campaign Against Iran

So from the very beginning of the war in Iran, Democrats have vocally opposed every part of it.There’s no imminent threat, they say. It will be a forever war. There has been no planning. And on and on. This has not always been the case however. Democratic presidents, like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, along with Republican presidents, like Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and now Donald Trump, have all said that Iran was a threat to the world. Only Mr. Trump had the courage to take action in order to wipe out that threat.To be sure, it’s a nuclear threat. It’s a terrorist threat. It’s a threat to the very basic freedom and prosperity of the Middle East and the rest of the world. It’s a threat to America which has tragically lost thousands of people to Iran or their proxies over the past 47 years.Mr. Trump seeks to end the 47 year forever war against America.And all those Democrats who keep saying there was no planning ahead of the war are insulting the American military. General Frank McKenzie, the retired former commander of Central Command, made this very clear that America has been planning a campaign against Iran for many years. Here’s some of what General McKenzie said on one of the Sunday talk shows:“These are not back-of-the-envelope calculations. These are things we’ve been working on for many years. We’re on our way to doing that now. This is part of a plan that’s been in existence for many years. For many years, we’ve considered options along the southern coast of Iran, seizing islands, seizing small bases. Typically raids, and a raid is an operation with a planned withdrawal. You’re not going to stay. But some of those islands you could seize and hold, that would have a couple effects. First of all it would be profoundly humiliating for Iran.”Again, General McKenzie is the former commander of Centcom. He’s not partisan. He’s not a Fox Contributor. He is a truth-teller.And it’s worth nothing that the information he is using is the same information Centcom is passing on to Mr. Trump. That is, we are ahead of schedule.And we may be headed for a new Pentagon push to deal with the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian economy, enriched uranium, or who knows.Yet Mr. Trump is keeping the heat on, and he’s telling the Iranians, whoever their new leadership may be, that if they don’t come around to the American conditions to end the war, he will be turning the heat up very substantially, perhaps in just a few days.The Democratic critics and their legacy press handmaidens have the story, as usual, all wrong.The key point is that the American military is executing this pre-planned mission brilliantly, and Mr. Trump has the courage and backbone to lead it.From Mr. Kudlow’s broadcast on Fox Business Network.
