Today’s quote comes to us from the brilliant analyst, Victor Davis Hanson.
Here is just the beginning of his take on media coverage of our military action in Iran (you can read his entire commentary by clicking here):
We’re just completing the second week of the so-called Iran war — this effort of the United States to bomb the theocracy into submission so they will cancel their missile and nuclear programs and to champion the popular protests on the streets that have some potential to get rid of the regime itself.
But it’s a very surreal war. I haven’t seen — I don’t think any of us have seen — anything like it. It’s only been two weeks and we’re told that it’s dragging on, that it’s a forever war, that we’re losing, that the Pentagon and the Trump administration had no plans. And yet when you look at Iran, this huge country — much, much bigger and with a much larger population than Iraq or Afghanistan — it has no military left.
The Navy is dismantled. The Air Force is dismantled. The Republican Guard — all of these special contingents — are under enormous assault. The command and control is destroyed. The missile defense is destroyed. And yet people say that it’s unconquerable. It doesn’t make any sense. Its output of missiles and drones at the Gulf petrol states and Israel has dropped by 90%.
So what’s going on?
As you might guess, the “what’s going on” section has a lot to do with media bias; with hating Trump so much that even a hugely successful military campaign will be attacked/disparaged/criticized. You can use the link I’ve provided (here it is again) to read it all; it is well worth your while.
I award Victor Davis Hanson Quote Of The Day honors for exposing the difference between how we are doing in Iran and how so many of our media are covering it.
THAT’S what’s going on.
