When this military action is over and successful and the people of Iran are free, I want the NYT editorial board, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Morning Joe, Erin Burnett, Senators Paul, Kaine and Murphy to all admit that they were wrong. And then they need to shut up about foreign policy for the rest of their natural lives.

Fox News exclusively reported that more than 40 top military and civilian officials were terminated with extreme prejudice. Mossad had a spy on the inside. Attack was moved up in time to catch these clowns with their pants down on Saturday morning.

Wait till Khamenei finds out the virgins are backordered and nobody knows when his allotment will be available.

I filled up with gas and noticed that prices were about .20 more than on Friday. The woman at the register said she got a call from HQ at 5:30 am to raise the prices.

It would appear that the Iranian Great Satan has suffered some disassembly. His head was found 40 yards from his feet--or something like that. To apply a little more pressure on Iran, there is a report that the power plant at Kharg Island has been bombed and put out of commission. With no power on the island, there's no way to load Iranian crude into tankers for shipment overseas. And a major source of revenue for Iran is shut down (at least until the power plant is repaired) Of course if the power plant is repaired, rinse and repeat.

Brings to mind the old Hitler joke, where he goes to a psychic and asks when he's going to die. The psychic tells him that he'll die on a Jewish holiday. "Which one?" Hitler asks. "Whenever you die, that will be a Jewish holiday," the psychic replies. I think the same thing applies to Khamanei.

Just to add, a lot of bad people are going to have 2/28/2026 on their tombstones.

There are quite a few Mossad assets in Iran. We underestimate how good the Mossad is at human intelligence.

I am Gen X
I remember the Iranian attack on the US Embassy, holding US diplomat hostage

Trump isn't starting a war with Iran, he's finishing it.

We need not boots on ground, we simply need to kill anyone fighting to keep the Iranian gov't in power, and keep on doing so until the people of Iran have taken over

Then we negotiate peace

There seems to be a Crown Prince return movement, as the easiest way to get near-unity. I'd suppose it has its own dangers but not immediate ones.

I am reading reports on Twitter that the Iranian Navy is all decorating the bottom of the ocean.

"Defeat Into Victory", by General Slim, makes this important point: never believe initial reports. nothing is as good, or as bad, as they say.

So I don't actually believe that the entire Iranian Navy has been sunk.

Yet

But the reports are out there

Waiting for someone to repost Trump's 2012 (IIRC) tweet about how Obama was gonna start a war to boost his re-election prospects.

What matters is how the war ends — and Trump is not likely to manage the long-term regional mess that he is creating.

’…and Trump is not likely to manage the long-term regional mess that he is creating.’

Trump is the President of the U.S., so he’s not gonna manage any of that (alleged without proof or argument) regional mess.

Iran is giving a very long speech at the UN. Possibly unaware of recent developments. Celebration in the streets of Tehran for instance.

Bruce Hayden বলেছেন...

It was a textbook decapitation strike. Top guy taken out, along apparently with his top commanders. And their vicious paramilitary, that has brutally murdered tens of thousands of its citizens this year, to stay in power, neutered by eliminating its funding by taking out the power to Kharg Island, eliminating, for now, their oil sales. Which, was the quick way to do it. They can have oil sales back on - when we allow them to fix the power station.

I also like that Israel took the lead here. They have absorbed many thousands of Iranian missiles over the last decade, along with arming and facilitating the violent terrorists on its borders, leaving more Israeli dead. So far, far more Israelis died from Iranian arms and its surrogates, than Iranians have. Try explaining why the Israelis weren’t justified in their attack. All we did was just help our longtime ally a little bit. Maybe a little intelligence. Maybe a couple bunker buster bombs. And maybe elimination of a couple of air defense sites.

Are all the wars Trump has ended accounted for on a gross or net basis? Or does count them like a gambler counts winning hands, but not losers.

Bruce Hayden বলেছেন...

“ Bruce Hayden, I have to question you minimalist evaluation of the US effort. We'll know in a day or two,”

I do too. Hence a bit of sarcasm. The US brought in another carrier, and staged at least 50 USAF planes in the region, giving at least 200 warplanes. Probably well over half were stealth aircraft. This doesn’t include long range bombers flown in from Diego Garcia and even the US for the event. Plus, of course the flotilla of flying gas stations, AWACS, etc. And, so far, no evidence of any aircraft losses.

Part of my point here was that it was politically advantageous to shift some of the responsibility from the US to Israel. Israel had more than sufficient reason to attack Iran, having lost thousands to its surrogates over the decades. The US? Not so much. Esp after striking Venezuela, shutting off the oil to Cuba, and helping the Mexicans against cartels, all in the last couple months.
