New York Times columnist Bret Stephens dropped the hammer on Donald Trump for \u201cbetraying\u201d conservatives like himself who were encouraged that he took on Iran \u2014 only to capitulate when his war stalled out because he miscalculated the enemy.<\/p>\n

To make his point about the president\u2019s lack of courage, Stephens brought up the way the president avoided the Vietnam War by getting a doctor to diagnose him with bonespurs, purportedly making him unable to serve and fight.<\/p>\n

With the headline reading, \u201cIran Found Trump\u2019s Bonespur,\u201d he jumped right in with, \u201cWar is a contest of wills. And in that contest, the hard men of Tehran appear to have scored a decisive victory over the vain man of Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI write this as someone who supported the war from the outset and hoped to see Trump carry it through to a decisive result: if not regime change, then at least a deal in which Iran would be forced to relinquish all of its enrichment capabilities and access to the Strait was unfettered,\u201d he continued before adding, \u201cBut Trump got spooked after the regime didn\u2019t instantly crumble and energy prices shot up. He then effectively abandoned the war he had started after less than six weeks of sustained combat \u2014 combat in which the United States lost fewer service members than in the 1983 invasion of Grenada. He compounded the error with an almost comical succession of military threats and last-minute climb-downs, each of them signaling indecision and weakness to Iranian adversaries practiced in the study of weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pointedly writing that the Iranian leadership, \u201ctook the measure of Trump\u2019s courage. What it found was a bone spur,\u201d he noted, \u201cThough the details of the deal remain murky \u2014 a telling indicator of its likely shoddiness, since the administration would surely trumpet the terms of a strong agreement \u2014 it\u2019s already clear that Trump has betrayed his promise to the Iranian people, after they were massacred in January to quell antigovernment protests.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the conservative columnist, Trump\u2019s deal is leading to his \u201cworst betrayal.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe believed that Iran, which has waged a 47-year war against us, posed an increasingly intolerable threat to our security and vital interests,\u201d he insisted. \u201cThis cease-fire neither ends nor eases that threat; it hardens and magnifies it. It removes the one point of U.S. leverage over Iran \u2014 the naval blockade of its ports \u2014 before there\u2019s any negotiation over its nuclear program, which the Iranians will almost surely drag out until Trump is out of office.\u201d<\/p>\n

After writing, \u201cThis is a debacle,\u201d he predicted, \u201cIt gives Iran\u2019s leaders something even more vital: The confidence that, whatever Trump may threaten, they can withstand the most any American president or Israeli prime minister can throw at them.\u201d<\/p>\n
