“The President has been articulating several political goals over the last several days, some of which seem to conflict with each other. In the first day of the war, he talked about regime change altogether in Iran. He seems to have moved away from that. He talks about denying Iran's capability to ever develop a nuclear weapon. He talks about devastating Iran's ability to project power in the region. So it's a shifting array of targets and also a shifting end state as we come to the end of this third week.”
Highlights a dangerous disconnect between clear military execution and an undefined, shifting political endgame — the classic recipe for strategic failure in modern warfare.
