The Issue: CNN’s report on an assessment doubting the US’s success in its strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Once again, we have an apparent security leak coming from a government security agency and a cable news channel, CNN, runs the story as though the leaked information is 100% true (“Well, leak of the devil, CNN,” Miranda Devine, June 26).
CNN did not disclose that the leaked information came with low confidence and that a full assessment of the bomb damage will take weeks or months to verify. Despite this cautionary warning, CNN ran the story and then other media outlets and Democrats followed CNN’s lead. They will do anything to disparage the president.
The full facts and respected analysis have not been disclosed, so CNN’s actions should be severely criticized. Let’s wait for the facts to come out before we judge the success or failure of the mission.

If Democrats were given a briefing about the Iran strike, then soon after some of this news was leaked to the news media, what is the president supposed to think?
This is information so sensitive it is top secret. To leak this information is a federal crime. Whoever is responsible for leaking the intelligence could be looking at losing 10 years of their life behind bars.

We now have a president who makes decisions on behalf of the American people. But all those in the media who see everything through a haze of Trump-deranged hatred respond with reporting aimed toward demonstrably false stories about (for example) mission failure rather than actual success.
They couldn’t wait to report false stories, leaked by spiteful, residual saboteurs.
One can only deduce from this behavior that those Trump-deranged people in the media hate Trump more than they love their country.

This bombing was as close to the taking out of the Death Star in “Star Wars” as you can get. America dropped bombs through air shafts the size of your kitchen refrigerator from 13,000 feet and it was a direct hit. This action may lead to actual peace in the Middle East.
Yet you’d be hard-pressed to find any mainstream media outlet that cheers anything America succeeds at anymore. This needs to end. If you don’t love being here, maybe you should leave.
This bombing also showed the rest of the world we are the rulers of the skies and nobody is a close second.

The Issue: AOC and other Democratic politicians’ disapproval of President Trump’s Iran strike.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should consider that old saying: “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt” (“ ‘Make my day’ & impeach,” June 25).
One wonders what purpose this one-trick pony actually serves in legislative matters other than to oppose, accuse and rabble-rouse, mostly for the sake of anything to say.

How ironic: AOC is up in arms over President Trump’s bombing of Iran, saying it’s unconstitutional, calling once again for an impeachment.
Funny: I don’t remember the Dems being upset with former President Barack Obama not asking Congress for permission.

The wimpy and feckless so-called leaders are outraged, with AOC calling for Trump’s impeachment.
Every one of them complained that Trump didn’t go before Congress. But the last time Congress was apprised of the president’s intentions for an enemy attack was long ago.
