The fierce attack of the former White House spokesman during the George Bush era, Ari Fleischer, on G.D. Vance:
Dear Mr. Vice President, let me offer a different point of view. The problem was not the war with Iran; The problem was the ceasefire you caused! If you start a war, you must win it and finish it; Otherwise, don't start it at all. When this decision was made, which I think was the right decision, we should not have stopped until the fall of the regime. But instead you went and negotiated a truce that didn't last, didn't work and left us in a quandary; with higher prices and forces still stationed in the area. No, Mr. Vice President; The problem is not the war. The problem is your so-called ceasefire!
