He thought they would kill Khamenei and be out.

The selection of Khamenei Jr. basically means that the whole one-and-done strategy is in tatters.

Conflicts/war are always easy to start, not so easy to stop. George Bush declared 'Mission Accomplished' in May 2003. The last of our troops left Iraq in December 2011.

Trump can declare victory, then turn his loving eyes to Cuba. But that doesn't mean the Iranians will quit. Nor Netanyahu

The Iranians have already declared a retaliation 'in kind' for Trump assassinating their Ayatollah.

This ain't over.

Declare victory, walk away and pretend it never happened.

Because the other options are horrific.

…seizing the Straits of Hormuz as an American military zone; giving Iran until midnight before deploying a tactical nuke or declaring some arbitrary victory.

Stay tuned; it’s guaranteed to be unhinged!
