Malcolm Morrison's Comment to WSJ editorial: See the mission through to what? That has been the problem from day one of this war - what are the objectives, define victory, how do you intend to pull out? What comes after you have destroyed their government (hoping against hope America learned anything from Iraq)? And the 2000 troops mentioned - the US would need a great deal more than that to even invade Kharg. This war was amateurly prepared by Trump and he has to deal with the consequences.
