The Hour of Cowards

Timothy Birdnow

Why did the chicken cross the road? To do his podcast.

Uh Matt, I am on record as saying we needed to do this at least since Obama. In fact I had rather hoped Bush would do Iran instead of Iraq and I went on record saying so. I'm not much of an influencer these days but I at least said so all along and so did many others:

I can't take the gaslighting, guys. I really can't. Conservatives are now running around saying "Iran has been waging war on us for 47 years." Okay then why didn't any of you call for an attack on Iran at any point until now? Why didn't you make a case for Trump "ending the war, not starting it" until precisely the moment when Trump did it? You and I both know that you are latching onto a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago. You and I both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to war with Iran until just now. And now you're trying to use justifications that stretch back decades. It doesn't make any sense. If you changed your mind, fine. Say so. Explain why. You're allowed to change your mind. I've changed my mind about things. But don't try to rewrite history. Be honest about it. There's too much at stake to play these games.

Uh, also Matt apparently you are unaware that Iran has tried to assassinate President Trump at least one time already, and they have been filtering people into this country through the last four years. They were behind the horrific attack on Israel that led to warfare. They have attacked us repeatedly.

When the facts on the ground change you change your opinion, or should if you are wise.

Iran has been a low-enough priority in times past because we thought we could manage them. But not now.

Also, the Iranian People are in full revolt, which gives us a golden opportunity. Or do you think that no matter what it's not our business to bump off the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism?

Audentes Fortuna Duvat "Fortune favors the bold" as the old Latin proverb states. Sadly the Matt Walsh's of the world never met a situation that favored THEIR being bold.

We are at an historical crux, a real chance to change the horrible situation in the Middle East and perhaps bring peace for a time. Trump is playing this very strategically. He has no intention of sending in ground troops; he doesn't need to do so! We can bomb our way to a better world but only if we have the stones to take action.

Too many on our side are spineless, unwilling to do anything that might cause problems as they see it. Apparently Walsh is one such.

THAT is why we are always on the defensive, always losing.
