Like so many other liberals in media, Bill Maher is already set to declare defeat on Iran. They just can’t stand the idea of any success when it comes to Trump.
During Maher’s show on Friday night, he suggested that we should just cut and run, then going on to say that’s what we have always done.
When Maher was finished talking however, British conservative commentator Douglas Murray had a chance to speak and he took Maher’s argument apart with ease.
Transcript via Overton News:
MAHER: “We did it and it didn’t work.”
“Now what? Do we cut and run or do we stay the course?”
“I hope Donald Trump is the abandoner he’s always been.”
“We always cut and run!”
“We did it in Vietnam, we did it in Iraq, we did it to the Kurds, we did it in Afghanistan, we did it in Beirut.”
“That’s us. No lifeguard on duty.”
“If you get in with us, we are going to fck you, and that’s Donald Trump. He’s an ashole but he’s our a*shole.”
Murray pushed back with a blunt assessment of what he says actually happened on the ground:
MURRAY: “I disagree because I think once started, you have to finish this.”
“I don’t agree that it’s failed.”
“It’s been an incredibly successful operation in lots of ways.”
“Supreme leader dead, Iranian air force destroyed, nuclear sites attacked again.”
“The Navy of Iranian Revolutionary government at the bottom of the ocean.”
“These are not small things.”
“It’s not the case that the Iranian Revolutionary government has come out of this well.”
“I know that some people are wanting to say that after four to six weeks of war, this is some kind of loss for America.”
“It isn’t.”
“It’s an amazing strategic success but everyone wants to know what the out is.”

Murray’s argument is simple, to the point, and completely correct. Maher sounds like an utter fool in comparison.
