2. Regime change is probably off the table

The civilian casualties are causing Iranians to rally around the regime. We should have had someone identified for Iranians to rally around. Instead, Trump and Bibi killed everyone but the most radical. Demanding unconditional surrender was phenomenally stupid. It terrifies the regime and the people and gives them nothing to lose by fighting.

Gross incompetence and stupidity by this Administration to get us to this point. Stupid people shouldn’t have guns.
