Five months of on and off US bombing of Iran has left the US in a worse position than when the war began. Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz. Most if not all US bases in the Gulf region are destroyed or seriously damaged. Billions of dollars worth of military equipment is destroyed and missiles are seriously depleted. And hundreds of US service members are seriously injured or dead. But President Trump's CENTCOM Commander, Adm.

As is the case with the "drug war," however, the DEA claims that the failure was actually a success. Also today, new video shows just how depraved was Sen. Lindsey Graham.
