Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, June 17, 2026

Fox News' Brian Kilmeade ripped the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran during a Wednesday morning interview with the Hudson Institute's Rebeccah Heinrichs. "Rebeccah, can we just start on the Israeli portion of it? Israel has to, I guess, stop fighting back against Hezbollah, who's lobbing missiles at the northern part of their country," began Kilmeade. "This makes absolutely no sense." "It makes no sense. And we also know, Brian, that there have been diplomatic attempts over and over and over again since the early 2000s to try to get Hezbollah to disarm. They will not disarm, it has never worked through negotiations and diplomacy. At this point, if this is tied to this deal, the United States would essentially be restraining Israel, our greatest ally in the region and the reason that we had such success in [Operation] Epic Fury," replied Heinrichs.

"At this point, if this is tied to this deal, the United States would essentially be restraining Israel, our greatest ally in the region and the reason that we had such success in [Operation] AIPAC Fury," whined [Rebeccah] Heinrichs.

Israel is America's greatest ally?

DIA just raised the counterintelligence threat level in the US to HIGH because the Mossad is spying all over us.

ZERO IDF casualties serving with US or UN forces in South Korea. Thousands and thousands of UN casualties.

ZERO IDF casualties serving with US forces in Vietnam. South Korea, Canada, Australia, NZ: Hundreds and hundreds of casualties.

ZERO IDF casualties serving with US forces in first Iraq War. 343 allied casualties.

ZERO IDF casualties serving with US forces in second Iraq War. Hundreds of allied casualties.

ZERO IDF casualties in OEF versus the Taliban and al-Qaida in Afghanistan. Hundreds of allied casualties.

From what planet did Rebeccah Heinrichs say she was from, anyway?

"Israel, our greatest ally in the region...."

It's almost as if Americans don't know general, Middle Eastern, or military history.

On 8 June 1967 while our Soldiers were getting killed in the jungles of Vietnam, the IDF attacked our unarmed EW ship the USS Liberty, killing 34 of our sailors in repeated sorties and "Old Glory" visible to both God and Country.

And the IDF has killed American citizens in Israel. Palestinian-American dual citizens or others, like this young lady below. On 6 Sep 2024, an IDF sniper in the West Bank shot Aysenur Ezgi Eygi (26) in the head.


With allies like this, who the heck needs enemies?

Trump is saying, today, that it's a bit unfair that other nations have nuclear weapons and Iran does not.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what mental illness and frank crazy look like.

"Dummkopf Trumpf is bleating today that it's a bit unfair that other nations have nuclear weapons and Iran does not."

MTG skewers the bloated orange chomo.

"I truly hope that the totally unnecessary Iran war, which is not a war, is truly over and peace is achieved," said Greene. "It's truly incredible that we beat Iran dozens of times, and nearly made peace almost 40 times. It's only cost upwards of $50 billion, probably more, part of which was spent bombing a children's school by the way, and now hundreds of billions more will be spent to build more weapons to replace all the weapons and ammunition that we used in the Iran war that's not a war."

"Americans should be grateful to have spent so much of their own money on high gas prices and inflation caused by the war that is not a war, that we won dozens of times and almost have had a peace deal for the 40th time," said Greene. "We'll see if that happens on Friday."
