If the Atlantic is right, Trump's legacy will be as bad as LBJ's after Viet Nam.
If we did not understand the mullah regime or if we were never committed to ending it, this war was a total fiasco from DAY ONE.
What's worse is that a pitiful retreat will simply embolden Islamic terrorism even more.
It's like signing a peace deal with Hitler before Normandy.

What does Vanity Fair think?

Atlantic tries hard to be wrong as often as possible.

The “endgame” scenario is certainly the best one for now
Mostly because all the other options are much, much worse.
Hence the readiness of both the House and Senate to pass a "War Powers" Act and stop the train wreck
Trump doesn't hold the cards he needs to win.
Trump wimped out & never should have agreed to a cease fire. We shall suffer long term consequences.
The RINOs see this NOW... but he opened the door with his failure to get the job done.
Ironically, the Dems will crucify him for this complete waste of time and precious resources... AS THEY SHOULD.
What 'Trump Never Should Have Done' is rip up the U.S., EU, China, Russia supported JCPOA, and
let Bibi use our military for his Holy War against Iran. Other Presidents (from both parties) were approached by Netanyahu to do the same thing, but they wisely refused. Trump doesn't have the mentality, nor 'chops', to make the right Objective and Strategic decision...nor does he have the patience that Obama exercised to make a true deal that achieves our primary goal...Security from a rogue nation developing a nuclear weapon.
Trying to save Iran's train? Figures. A pallet of cash might do it.

Are the Rep House and Senate members siding with Iran with their War Powers Act? Stop living in
Trump's fantasy world...he's exactly what Rex Tillerson called him...and not the man for the job of U.S. President. Face facts and act/speak accordingly.
Not just Iran's... an Iranian triumph is huge for the CCP.
