With the November midterms now less than two months away, Scott Jennings said on CNN that President Trump should formally declare victory in the war with Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve already won the war in Iran. I mean they\u2019re a defeated country by any historical metric” Jennings said on ‘The Arena’, \u201cWe\u2019ve beaten these people. There\u2019s going to continue to be some skirmishes. They haven\u2019t exported a drop of oil since July. By any historical metric, we\u2019ve beaten these people. We\u2019re going to continue to beat them. The president needs to tell the American people exactly all the ways we won this war.”<\/p>\n
It’s a great message, but retired Army Captain, and Houston based JAG lawyer Sean Timmons tells KTRH, it’s still too soon.<\/p>\n
“I would disagree with Scott Jennings, it’s not necessary to do a formal declaration of victory” Timmons said, “This mission is not complete, we are sucking the life out of the Iranian system and their regime will likely collapse. It takes time though.”<\/p>\n
