So if it didn't work as the critics said...let's do it again, and again and again!!!

• Anonymous Sources: Several media reports citing the initial DIA assessment relied on anonymous sources familiar with the assessment.

Hegseth was identified...not anonymous as what Trump said... again not anonymous!
That's the distinction!

If DIA said it, it is factual.

If Trump, Hegseth, and or you say something, everybody says, "Hmmm."

I am ready to bomb again if Iran does not sit down in honesty to talk.

A very short memory is a trait all leftists possess.

Oh, you mean the Alt Right MAGA.

 

[Independent thinker]

A very short memory is a trait all leftists possess.

That is only if they ever had a brain at all to lose memory. Many don't.

So why the anonymous source? That’s what is suspicious.

 

[Moonglow]

In most peoples' cases not true they will leave with nothing as they have memories... but you... it has appeared
from your prior posts you have done nothing to create memories... so for once you are right!

Your memories die with you.

 

[Moonglow]

That is only if they ever had a brain at all to lose memory. Many don't.

Many do so due to age and sickness; you, too, will succumb.

But are they telling the truth? The DIA is the credit for their assessment, not anonymous sources.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

So why the anonymous source? That’s what is suspicious.

No, it is not. It is released in DIA's name. That is one of 16 agencies.

 

[Moonglow]

No, it is not. It is released in DIA's name. That is one of 16 agencies.

And it was probably hacked by a Russian operative.

 

[Dekster]

Problem with do it again thinking is that we may not know where things are now that Iran has moved them and has stopped cooperating with the international inspections that required they tell us where the toys are. We are also risking a dirty bomb incident over Tel Aviv if we keep escalating. It really wouldn't matter that much if the iron dome shoots an incoming dirty bomb. The crap is still going to get spread by one explosion or the other.

What makes you think, he or the US military isn't way ahead of you? If the reported intel, the Whitehouse press secretary acknowledged as existing, is proved correct, I would imagine plans were in the works, for additional strikes as necessary. I speculate, that if the final Battle Damage Assessment, does not confirm destruction to a predetermined level of success, another strike would be sent. It is not like the fuel, munitions, and paychecks come out of Donny's pocket. It is doubtful, at this point, another leak would occur before another strike in some form were sent, if needed. Mind you, it could be weeks before DIA/CIA/Mossad have a final product. It is not like they will be invited in, to view the site.

Except that not only are the strikes illegal and violation of the Geneva Conventions and the UN Charter, but they obviously can never work.
It does not matter how many times you drop bunker buster that go to 130' when the enrichment facilities are over 200' down, and in an unknown direction.
Every attack is totally useless.
No matter how many times we attack, it will achieve nothing.

 

[Rigby5]

So what if didn't destroy 100% of Iran's nuclear program? Trump has let them know that any further uranium enrichment will be quashed by the US.

Wrong.
We accomplished absolutely nothing, and Iran can continue to enrich if they want.
There is no way our 130' bunker busters can reach the depth of the enrichment facilities, and we don't know where they are. We only know where one of the entrances is.

 

[Rigby5]

'Complete obliteration': Israel, Iran and US agree on Trump's Iran strikes​

We accomplished nothing except to violate international law.

 

[Rigby5]

The US did not succeed in destroying the process and the product of the Iranian uranium enrich program.

Hit them again and again and again until they cry, "uncle" in Farsi.

In Persian (Farsi), the word for "uncle" depends on whether it's your father's or mother's brother:

• پدر بزرگ (pedar bozorg) – grandfather (not uncle, but often confused)
• عمو (amoo) – paternal uncle (your father's brother)
• دایی (daayi) – maternal uncle (your mother's brother)

Hitting them "again and again" with bunker busters that cannot penetrate their depth, is just wasteful.

37 trillion in debt means you're broke

Much WORSE than being broke.
We are in the hole by $37 trillion.
We are going to have trouble even keeping up with the interest payments.

Feel free to grab a shovel and help them dig out.

 

[Rigby5]

Well, we all hoped it was destroyed. Who knows? It might be, it might not. There is not telling, the decision Trump would make if not destroyed. He could have them go again, or simply pretend and keep repeating the it was "obliterated". He has never been the first in line, to admit when wrong.

Damage is impossible.
The bunker busters have a depth of 130' max in rock or reinforced concrete.
{...

• Penetration: (debated) There is debate regarding the penetration capabilities of the bomb. The US Air Force has said that the GBU-57 can penetrate up to 200 ft (60 m) of unspecified material before exploding. The BBC reports that analysts at Janes say the weapon can penetrate about 200 ft (60 m) of earth or 60 ft (18 m) of concrete. This is consistent with a separate source which suggests penetration of up to 60 ft (18 m) into reinforced concrete with a compressive strength of 5,000 psi (34 MPa) and 8 ft (2.4 m) into 10,000 psi (69 MPa) reinforced concrete.

...}

Plus we only know where the entrance is.
Once you get down to 200', then we have no idea in what direction the Iranians may have tunneled sideways.
So continuing to waste bombs that do nothing, is senseless.

 

[Rigby5]

Feel free to grab a shovel and help them dig out.

They likely already have more than one entrance and exit.
We not only are wasting our time and money, but every time we attack, they are becoming more familiar with our radar signature, sound, and energy transmissions.
