General <strong>Keith Kellogg<\/strong> said on Fox News today, because he does not \u201cthink we are close\u201d to winning the war.<\/p>\n<p>Kellogg, who served in the 101st Airborne Division during the Vietnam War and retired from the Army in 2003, cited the Gulf War to support this argument.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember the first Gulf War when I was sitting on the berm outside of Iraq, and we watched 30 days of bombing thinking that Iraq was going to fold,\u201d Kellogg said. \u201cThey didn\u2019t. They actually fell when we crossed into Iraq and within 48 hours, I was sitting on the banks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armyupress.army.mil\/Books\/Browse-Books\/iBooks-and-EPUBs\/Deception-in-the-Desert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">within one hundred hours<\/a> of that attack, they were done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kellogg continued, \u201cThey couldn\u2019t believe we had done that to them. I think we need to think like that. I think what we need to do is adjust. And instead of saying they\u2019re going to pay a terrible price by bombing, they don\u2019t really care, because they will absorb this punishment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The focus should instead be on \u201cwhat really affects them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kellogg also said, \u201cI know it\u2019s really hard, it may not be a principle of war but it\u2019s a principle of leadership when you get into a gunfight like this, who\u2019s got the stronger will to finish? The thing I said the other day is pretty important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact of the matter is if you let a bad team stick around for a long time, like you see in football in the four quarter, they can tend to do something you\u2019re not expecting, so you have to close them out early,\u201d he said. \u201cI think we\u2019ve gone beyond that. I think we should close them out now, figure out a way to finish the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite Trump\u2019s claims <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/news\/cnn-counts-the-eye-popping-amount-of-times-trump-has-claimed-iran-deal-is-close\/\">the United States is \u201cclose\u201d<\/a> to winning the war, Kellogg said, \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re close, in that regard of finishing the job, if we are just depending on bombing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve got a philosophy, it\u2019s called Mosaic, which is their defense policy. If you look at it and look at their principles of negotiation that their foreign minister wrote, this is in their game plan. They plan to extend this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch the above via Fox News.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>New: The Mediaite One-Sheet &#8220;Newsletter of Newsletters&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>Your daily summary and analysis of what the many, many media newsletters are saying and reporting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/subscribe\">Subscribe now!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump should consider a new strategy in Iran, retired Lt.
