CNN’s Cuomo on Killing Soleimani: If You Cut a Worm’s Head, It Will Grow a New One

RUSH EXCERPT:

CUOMO: “But it doesn’t move as fast when you cut its head off. Soleimani is gone. Bad guy. Iran knows that the United States isn’t a joke and we’re better positioned?”

MILLER: “Yeah, but military power, Chris, untethered from attainable, realistic and sustainable political goals, I give you Iraq and Afghanistan. A preponderance of power, weighted in our favor. And after 17, 18 years of conflict, the standard for victory was never can we win conventionally, but when can we leave? And what would we leave behind? And Iran is a much — look, there are three — there are three functional, powerful states in this region today. They’re the three nine Arabs. The Arab states are melding down, Iran, Turkey, and the Israelis. Iran is a not 10-feet tall, but a formidable power, and now they’ve opened the file. We’ve opened the file against them. Bad actor. No tears shed for soleimani. But the question is, where does this go? And can we even compete. And I don’t think — we’re like some modern day Gulliver, wondering around in the part of the world where Trump would rather not be, tied up by tinier powers, whose interests are not our own. And by the president’s illusions. I just think it’s not smart and I think we’re in for a very bad patch, in the months and years ahead.”
