Michael Cohen - Mission Unaccomplished
There’s a lie. Then there’s a whopper. And then there’s the kind of dangerously misleading spin that finds its way from the lips of a sitting president directly into the bloodstream of American public opinion. President Trump—a man known for his flair for exaggeration—now finds himself in deeper waters than usual. This time, it’s not about crowd sizes or building walls. This time, it’s about nuclear weapons, and the supposed “obliteration” of Iran’s nuclear program following a recent U.S. military strike.
Let’s not sugarcoat it. Trump claimed, boldly, confidently, and without a sliver of supporting evidence, that his recent strike on Iranian facilities “obliterated” their nuclear program. Not “damaged,” not “set back,” not even “crippled.” No, he used the word obliterated, as in completely destroyed. Nuked without the nuke. Mission Accomplished 2.0.
Except, of course, it wasn’t. According to numerous intelligence officials—some current, some former, and some too pissed off to stay silent—the claim is complete fiction. No nuclear facilities were destroyed. No weapons-grade enrichment capability was dismantled. And Iran’s ability to continue its program remains very much intact. Hell, they were probably back up and running before Trump could post his next incoherent Truth Social rant about dishwashers or Hannibal Lecter.
This wasn’t just a case of stretching the truth to win a news cycle. This was a bald-faced lie to the American people about a military operation involving a nuclear adversary. That’s not politics. That’s perjury in the court of public trust—and it ought to have real consequences.
