Tucker's lead story was the imperative for American troops to leave Iraq. As long as they remain, the greater the odds for war with Iran and another quagmire in the Middle East.
At present, Iraq appears to be heading towards becoming an Iran proxy state. Footage was played from a 2007 interview of Donald Trump with Wolf Blitzer, wherein Trump stated that we needed to leave Iraq at that time. Now, thirteen years later, we are still mired in questions about Iraqi freedom and democracy in a multi-ethnic state that was originally created by the European powers as an artificial construct after World War I.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor appeared during the program and stated succinctly that "we have no strategic reason to be" in Iraq. Now, Trump must step up and honor his campaign promise to end the nightmare. Macgregor stressed that it is not really Iran that is the bogeyman in the Middle East; rather it is Turkey's President Erdogan who is the real problem. Great powers solve problems like the current ones diplomatically.
Tulsi Gabbard, the only Democratic presidential candidate who was an Iraqi war veteran, appeared on the set with Tucker. For Gabbard, military troops need an identifiable objective to be successful. But, in Iraq, they are presently only in a holding pattern. The time to bring our troops home is now.
