CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 5, 2026
TOMORROW IS THE 82nd ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY WHEN AMERICAN AND ALLIED TROOPS INVADED SOUTHERN FRANCE, DISPLACED THE NAZIS AND EVENTUALY WON THE WAR. I HAVE ALWAYS WONDRED IF THAT WAR WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT DIFFERENTLY IF TODAY’S MEDIA HAD REPORTED ON IT. REPORTERS, THEN, WERE LARGELY SUPPORTIVE OF AMERICA AND VICTORY OVER GERMANY AND JAPAN.
THE HOUSE ON WEDNESDAY VOTED TO IMPOSE THE WAR POWERS ACT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP, FORBIDDING HIM FROM ACHIEVING TOTAL VICTORY IN IRAN. IRAN, MEANWHILE, BOMBED KUWAIT AIRPORT. ULTIMATELY, IT SHOULD BE UP TO THE ARAB AND MUSLIM STATES IN THE REGION TO WIPEOUT THE FATANTICAL IRANIAN LEADERSHIP, BUT MUSLIM SOLIDARITY APPEARS MORE IMPORTANT THAN REMOVING THE WORLD’S TOP SPONSOR OF TERRORISM THAT THREATENS THEM, TOO.
WRITING IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE CONDOLEEZZA RICE SAYS: “THE WAR AGAINST IRAN HAS BEEN A LIMITED WAR, AND ITS OUTCOME IS LIKELY TO BE INCONCLUSIVE. BUT IT HAS ACHIEVED ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A FAR BETTER MIDDLE EAST. THE THREE-MONTH MILITARY CAMPAIGN DEGRADED IRAN’S ABILITY TO PROJECT POWER BY SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGING ITS CONVENTIONAL FORCES, MISSILE STOCKPILES AND PROXIES.”
YES, BUT IRAN MAY YET BUILD A NUCLEAR WEAPON AND THEN WHAT? I THINK WE KNOW. I’M CAL THOMAS.
