Matt Margolis writes for PJMedia.com about a disappointing response to the Iran war.
The United States is dismantling Iran’s military machine in real time. We’ve nearly destroyed its ability to launch missiles and drones. Its navy is wiped out. Most of its military facilities are damaged or destroyed. The U.S. and Israel own the skies over Iran. Thousands of targets have been hit, and the regime’s defense industrial base is being systematically torn apart to make sure it can’t rearm later. …
… So, naturally, Seth Moulton went on MSNOW to tell America that Trump is losing.
On Friday’s edition of “Deadline,” the Massachusetts congressman delivered what can only be described as an Olympic-level gaslighting. ”Iran is gaining leverage over us as this war goes on,” Moulton insisted. “Iran is winning the war.”
Moulton’s talking points to support this claim were, to put it mildly, weak. He cited the Strait of Hormuz closure and that we’ve had two downed aircraft as somehow proof that we’re losing the war?
He kept going. He argued that “They weren’t shooting missiles and drones at all our allies in the Middle East,” before the war. “They hadn’t destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars of U.S. military equipment. I mean, well over a billion.”
Yeah, that’s what happens in a war. At least we didn’t just hand them billions of dollars’ worth of our military equipment, as Joe Biden did. Seriously, Moulton’s take is so detached from military reality that it deserves its own category. It sounds more as if he’s openly rooting for Iran to win the war. I suspect most Democrats in Congress are, to be honest. …
… Moulton has essentially declared victory for the mullahs.
It’s worth asking how anyone could make this argument with a straight face. Here’s your answer: Moulton is running a primary challenge against Sen. Ed Markey. He’s pandering to Massachusetts Democratic primary voters. And so he’s spewing rhetoric that the far left in one of the bluest states in the country will just eat up.
