Barbara Starr: ‘You Can’t Really Prosecute a War That the American People Do Not Support’ as Iran War Faces Declining Support

RUSH EXCERPT:

STARR: "Well, it is striking. And I’ll tell you, the American people are pretty smart about these things. You know, I think every poll will show there is declining support for this war. And the Pentagon learned the lesson. The us government learned a lesson as far back as vietnam. You can’t really prosecute a war that the American people do not support. And this war they do not. The people you know, whether you think it’s a cliche or not, Americans support the troops. They really do. But that means they don’t want the troops going off to war in a conflict that can’t be one that isn’t well thought out, that doesn’t have a strategy, and doesn’t have a clear end state. Nobody wants endless wars in this country anymore. If there’s been any lesson over the last 25 years, I really believe that that is it. It’s a lesson that’s relearned generation to generation, perhaps, but that’s not what the American people want.”
