The media won’t hold him to account and point out the Iran mess accomplished nothing. Just because he says something is over doesn’t mean it’s over. I doubt Iran is “over” it.

"LOOK AT WHAT YOU MADE ME DO, IRAN! YOU JUST HAD TO ASK FOR IT!"

The troops will be expendable pawns (pronounced "heroes" after planned negligence) so we can kill more Iranians, win the body count, and manufacture an even greater global crisis.

If anything's complete, this operation is a complete clusterfark.
