No, You Morons, Iran Has Not ‘Won.’

 Who beside MSNOW would take their counsel from ignorant tools such as keffiyeh-clad unlearned ones on campuses, or Joe Biden?

The idea that Iranian victory would be an outcome of this war stems partially from notions put forth by a number of pundits — most notably on the left — that so long as the Iranian regime survived the war, they would have won.

"I know that it’s a sin against my own intelligence not to follow Mark Twain’s guidance in matters such as these.

"Twain said many wise things. Some of the wisest things attributed to him are now said not to have come from him at all. But I have my doubts about the doubters.

"One was “Don’t wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.”

"The other has been offered in two versions — either “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference, "Or “Never argue with an idiot; they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

"Mark Twain, or at least the mythical Mark Twain whose brilliance appears to be under attack by these niggling scholars denying him some of his best stuff, would have had one hell of a time with the “anti-war” gang on social media and elsewhere today.

"Maybe that’s not quite fair. There are critics of the Iran war who have perfectly rational and valid points to make, and this column does not seek to take them on.

"It’s a particular species of “anti-war” keyboard warrior with whom I quibble.

"Specifically, this cabal of fools and idiots who pronounce the Iran war over, when we don’t know that to be true, and have judged the victor to be Iran.

"Much like the Black Knight of Monty Python and the Holy Grail fame…"  (Video above)

"Because permanent resolutions  to Israel’s security issues are denied them by the “international community.” Which means Israel has been locked in forever wars that cast Israel as the villain."
