Iraq All Over Again
STEVE BANNON (HOST): Is it gross what Fox does? It’s just so gross.
Here’s why it’s gross. Think of what they did in Iraq. Think of what they did in Iraq, the cheerleading, and then they abandoned it. Then when they don’t get the ratings, when it starts to be a quagmire, they just kind of walk away. Every now and again they would show American troops, but they walked away from it. Just gross. Gross people. Horrible people. Horrible people.
And Lindsey Graham. The people in South Carolina, I just don’t know how you put up with it, man. He’s just sick. A sick individual.
Make Iran great again. We don’t care about Iran, and we don’t care about making Iran great again. The Persians are in the streets. They’re going to make it great again. It’s in their hands. Let them deal with it.
They brought on the Islamic Republic. They brought it on back in 1979, 1980. They brought it on. Now it’s time. You want to cleanse it, you’ve got to cleanse it yourself. Can’t do it with outside forces. Can’t do it with Israel. Do Israel and the United States, and you’re just going to prolong the problem.
Let the Persians. The Persians, an ancient civilization and culture, are in the streets trying to overthrow an Islamic Republic.
This is the warning we’ve got to the folks in Texas. See how well it’s worked out for the Persians? See how that worked out for them? Not particularly. Sharia law, not really working in Tehran. You can see that with the bloodshed.
