FROM A REDNECK WEST VIRGINIAN …DON SURBER

On Sunday, Iran’s third-string regime waved the white flag and gave up.

Epic Fury was was well-named. In 38 days, America stripped a nation of 92 million people of its military.

We have not had as decisive a military victory since the Persian Gulf War. We did so with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman AND Israel on our side.

If someone told you this 10 years ago, you would have thought them crazy. Arab Muslims supporting Israel against a Muslim nation? Get out of here. Donald Trump saw it as a challenge. He launched the Abraham Accord to bring Jews and the Muslims together.

It worked.

Yes, we lost 13 troops in the fighting—but that just happens to be the number of troops Joe Biden lost in surrendering the Basram airport in Biden’s faile retreat from Afghanistan. Biden left behind at least $8 billion worth of military hardware behind.

The Pentagon estimates we killed 6,000 Iranian military personnel, we sank 150 Navy vessels and we destroyed most of Iran’s 350 aircraft. Many of its planes never left the ground. We took out Iran’s air defense.

A year earlier, Operation Midnight Hammer buried Iran’s nuclear program under three mountains. Here’s a shovel and a pick. Good luck digging it out.

The regime is broken. Negotiations were slowed by Iranian negotiators having to fly back to Iran and then travel by land for 14 hours to communicate with the ayatollah.

Trump settled for complete victory. He got it.

For the money we spent on this “costly war,” we could have added 25 Somali childless daycare centers.

Saying the president settled for the status quo is like saying Grant settled for Lee’s sword when he surrendered. For the record, Grant didn’t even take Lee’s horse. Grant didn’t have to because Lee and his army and his nation were broken.

Not until World War II some 75 years later did the southern economy truly recover. The 19th century ended with the North booming during the Gilded Age while the South struggled.
