CNN viewers say U.S. is LOSING the war. Please explain
Iran has lost control of its skies, the seas, its ability to fire ICBMs, its long-time Supreme Leader, almost everything but its bowels.
The U.S. is not winning the war in Iran, according to a poll on Smerconish.com.
The poll by Michael Smerconish, the Sirius Radio host and CNN commentator, is not scientific, and his audience (especially on CNN) leans left, but — wow! Almost three quarters of his CNN audience (72.38%) by Monday night believe the U.S. is not winning, which means the U.S. is losing.
What are they thinking? (I discount the idea that it’s a draw.)
And I am asking you, here and now.
Iran has lost control of its skies, the seas, its ability to fire ICBMs, its long-time Supreme Leader, almost everything but its bowels.
What am I missing?
Oh, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz.
That’s winning?
That’s akin to believing Japan was winning in the spring of 1944 when it unleashed waves of kamikaze suicide fighters that managed to sink U.S. ships.
That was not winning. It was desperation. And Iran is desperate.
The only other thing I can think of is that poll respondents were answering the question do you support the war rather than the question that was asked, about winning. Lots of polls (see below) suggest Americans are, at best, deeply divided over whether the war is a good idea.
But losing the war? I just can’t see It.
Maybe you can help explain it.
