Recall the famous Lola song from Damn Yankees? I tried the remember the exact lyric to use as the title of this piece. Did I get it right?
I found this on the CBS News feed. The damn liberal-biased media is now running EXACT quotes from President Trump. His own words. (And those of others.) Unforgivable!
The following was cut and pasted from CBS by Zak Hudak, et. al, June 18, 2026:
Hours after the U.S. launched its war against Iran in late February, President Trump laid out an aggressive list of war aims. He pledged to “destroy their missiles,” prevent the regime from rebuilding its nuclear program and set the stage for Iranians to “take over” the country’s government.
A week into the conflict, he wrote on Truth Social: “There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” (This much appears to have come true.)
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, March 2: “I’m telling you what the objectives of this operation are. The objectives of this operation are to destroy their ballistic missile capability and make sure they can’t rebuild it, and make sure that they can’t hide behind that to have a nuclear program. That’s the objective of the mission.”
Trump, April 26: “We have to take that nuclear dust. We’re going to take it, and that’s part of our negotiation with Iran. We don’t want them to have it.”
Trump, Feb. 27: “They want to enrich a little bit. You don’t have to enrich when you have that much oil. … I say, no enrichment. Not 20%, 30%. They always want 20%, 30%. … They want it for civil. I think it’s uncivil.”
Vice President JD Vance, June 18: “The Obama nuclear deal allowed enrichment. Ours will not.”
Trump, addressing the Iranian people in a video on Truth Social on Feb. 28: “Take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be, probably, your only chance for generations.”
Trump, May 27: “No, we’re not talking about any easing of sanctions or giving money. No sanctions, no money, no nothing.”
It is a good thing that CBS News is being taken over by conservatives so this kind of reporting will not happen in the future. (Unless Democrats make the same mistakes; in that case, we will still hear about what is going on.)
