Only two have failed to see the futility of bombing Iran: Reagan and Trump.Then the next President will take over, this isn't a new thing.
Since 1995, five presidents and multiple vice presidents and presidential candidates had promised to end Iran’s nuclear program by any means necessary.
“Iran’s appetite for acquiring and developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them has only grown larger,” Bill Clinton claimed in 1995. “We have tried to stop its quest to acquire weapons of mass destruction, which would make it a threat not only to its neighbors but to the entire region and the world.”
“For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” George W. Bush declared.
“America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal,” Barack Obama promised.
“Here is my message to Iran’s leaders, the United States will never allow you to acquire a nuclear weapon. As president, I will take whatever action is necessary to protect the United States and our allies,” Hillary Clinton assured.
“We will not let Iran acquire a nuclear weapon. Period. Period. End of discussion. It will not happen on our watch,” Joe Biden assured.
“Let me be clear, we will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Period,” Kamala Harris said.
Nearly every serious contender for the White House had promised to take out Iran’s nuclear arsenal, so why the outrage at that old promise actually being fulfilled?
Much like moving the embassy to Jerusalem, many politicians of both parties promised to do it without either meaning or it being determined enough to do it.
Their outrage then as now is performative and hypocritical.
Only one has started that round of unprovoked bombing: Trump.
