“With no rationale to attack, we have no clear metrics for success. We went from trying to neutralize a nuclear threat (which we days earlier said we had obliterated) to destroying missile launching sites to promoting regime change. We said it was a war and yet it was not a war (lest it require congressional authorization). We said it would take days and then weeks and now possibly months. Trump most recently has said that he demands “unconditional surrender” in this non-war and also that he must have the ability to personally choose the next leader of Iran.”
