Or true because he’s moving on to Lebanon and Iran.
I'm imagining an early Mission Accomplished sign like George Bush, followed by an immediate declaration of war on 3 other countries lol.
That's exactly what's happening. That's why we've been seeing Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria in headlines recently. Calling Oct 7th "Israel's 9/11" was very, very accurate.
It should also be noted that Israel has invaded and controlled the Egypt's Sinai peninsula twice. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a fourth option. (But it doesn't seem like they really want to hold it, the invasions were mostly to make a point. So it seems unlikely to me at this time.)
The crazy thing is that most of the 9/11 comparisons have been coming from Israel and proponents of the way Israel has been handling this.
I seriously do not understand how someone can look at the history of the US's response to 9/11 and come away thinking it supports Israel's actions. Although, in fairness to Israel, at least they got the (quasi)country correct.
