CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 4, 2026
HERE WE GO AGAIN. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS HALTED ATTACKS ON IRAN FOR THE EIGHTH TIME. HE SAYS IT’S BECAUSE SAUDI ARABIA AND IRAN ASKED HIM TO.
WE’VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL SAYS THE PRESIDENT SHOULD WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE BECAUSE HE HAS ENDED EIGHT WARS. IN A MACBRE WAY, THAT IS FUNNY.
THE STATED GOAL IS THAT IRAN SHOULD NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN WE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP BOMBING THEM FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE.
IRAN WILL TRY TO BLEED US DRY OF MONEY AND MUNITIONS, AT LEAST UNTIL THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS WHEN THEY ARE COUNTING ON DEMOCRATS WINNING THE HOUSE AND SENATE AND CUTTING OFF FUNDS FOR THE WAR.
THE AYATOLLAHS BELIEVE THEY ARE ON A MISSION FROM GOD AGAINST THE LITTLE SATAN – ISRAEL – AND THE GREAT SATAN – THE UNITED STATES. THAT KIND OF FANATICISM IS ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM GOING, REGARDLESS OF THE COST TO THEIR INFRASRUCTURE.
THE PRESIDENT SHOULD DECLARE VICTORY AND GET OUT. HE SHOULD THEN SEEK TO FORM A COALITION OF NATIONS WHO WILL KEEP IRAN FROM MAKING NUKES AND ICBM’S TO DELIVER THEM. WE CAN’T CONTINUE TO DO THIS ALONE. THE FREE WORLD HAS AN INTEREST IN KEEPING IRAN FREE OF NUKES. I’M CAL THOMAS.
