Joe Scarborough: Right Now There Are Two Different Realities of the Iran War

SCARBOROUGH: “Militarily, every military person that’s looked at what has happened will tell you that this has been extraordinarily successful. Now, I would have said the same thing about Iraq in March and April of 2003. But thus far, militarily, we’re doing great. Our challenge right now, as the general said, is on the political side. Anybody that tells you, first of all, that the military hasn’t done an extraordinary job, they’ve got an agenda. I mean, they’re — obviously, there have been tragedies, but militarily, the operations have hit what they’ve wanted to hit and degraded what they wanted to degrade. The problem comes on the political side where you have a war that’s unpopular at home, you’ve got gas prices rising. That’s going to be unpopular at home. You have, in Iran, you have a a leader now that’s a successor to his father, who seems to be even more extreme. This is a regional conflict, needs to be kind of put back in there. And right now there’s no one to negotiate with. So we have — we have two different things happening right now. Militarily, a success. Politically, there are things that need to be developed and things that need to be thought through and things that need to be brought to a resolution because right now, there are two different realities in this war: one extremely successful, the other not successful yet."
