Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up.

Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.

On this Thursday, one of the last old school television news commentators is Brit Hume,

an honest guy.

The other day he opined that President Trump might fall into the same trap, his quote,

that President Obama did in the Middle East.

You may remember that Mr. Obama told the world he would punish the heinous dictator Assad

of Syria if he gassed protesters.

Assad just briefly paused before letting the gas fly.

But President Obama did nothing.

Now President Trump has threatened Iran with military strikes

if it continues brutalizing protesters.

Hume says the president must back up his threat.

I see it a bit differently.

U.S. strikes against Iran will not assure the Tehran government falls.

Unexpected consequences loom.

So a plan B might come into play.

The mullahs in a deal would release all political prisoners they are holding and submit

to inspection on the nuclear stuff.

That would humiliate the holy killers and emboldened internal opposition in Iran. If the mullers

turn the offer down, well, destruction will likely come very soon. Back in a moment.

Abby's just woken up.
