CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 19, 2026
WHO LIKES THE WAY THE IRAN WAR IS BEING CONDUCTED? PROBABLY NOT EVEN PRESIDENT TRUMP WHOSE PROMISES OF A QUICK VICTORY HAVE FALLEN FLAT.
YOU CAN SAY WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER INTERVENED, BUT ONLY A FOOL BELIEVES IRAN WAS NOT GOING TO BUILD A NUCLEAR WEAPON AND THREATEN ISRAEL AND US.
A UNILATERAL WITHDRAWAL WOULD BE A DISASTER.
YES, GAS PRICES ARE HIGH, BUT THE PRICE OF A NUCLEAR WEAPON HITTING ONE OR MORE OF OUR CITIES WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER. IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE SENATE JOHN SUNUNU, DURING A DEBATE WITH HIS DEMOCRAT OPPONENT REP. CHRIS PAPPAS, SAID: “IT WAS A MISTAKE TO GO INTO IRAN WITHOUT A PLAN TO KEEP THE STRAIT OR HORMUZ OPEN.”
SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS, WHO IS IN A TIGHT RACE IN MAINE, SAID: “BESIDES FIRING ON SHIPS, THE MESSIANIC REGIME IN TEHRAN HAS ALSO SHOT AT (ARAB COUNTRIES). “TEHRAN WANTS A TOLL ROAD FOR SHIPS SO IT CAN USE THE MONEY TO REBUILD ITS INFRASTRUCTURE, PROMORE MORE TERRORISM AND GAIN A NUCLEAR WEAPON. PLAYING POLITICS WON’T END THE WAR IN OUR FAVOR. TOPPLING THE REGIME WILL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
