B-2 bombers are flown by fighter pilots? I know the B-2 bombers were escorted by US fighters stationed in the Middle East, but were the regular B-2 pilots so unglamerous (and too female) that they had to be replaced by FIGHTER PILOTS! (maybe, maybe, . . ., TOM CRUISE!) at the last moment?

not surprising with your dook logic you completely miss the point. Common sense required so dookies at a disadvantage. Give me 24 days notice and I could hide everything. Get the point?

We're not in grade school anymore, champ. These are adult discussions that supersede Duke/Carolina. Grow up.

Why the hell does anyone think a terrorist regime was actually playing by the rules on that little show? I'd bet everything I own Iran was not showing the inspectors their whole hand there.

This sort of comes across as making perfection the enemy of good.

Iran was incentivized to limit its nuclear program and the monitoring was multi-layered, including around-the-clock surveillance on some areas. The consensus among those who are not necessarily inclined to trust Iran seemed to be that it was working fairly well. At the very least, those concerned about Iran’s nuclear program were given much more access to monitor it than before (or after) the agreement.

Wow, Trump's "obliteration" leads to a few months delay to Iran's nuclear program. I wonder how Bibi is feeling about that generic ceasefire now?

I said after Trump’s initial Mission Accomplished boasting that if the damage isn’t sufficient, Netanyahu will have a difficult needle to thread when imparting that message to Trump.

The agreements are designed to have a good chance of catching a party that is not being fully honest to the inspectors.

It is no different than when we signed nuclear agreements with the Soviet Union. Did Reagan just give up on the possibility of verification when he said, "trust but verify"?
