Israel launches attack on Iran | US bombs Iran nuke sites

[Icky Mettle]

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.

There is a special place in hell reserved for Trump mouthpieces like Levitt, Huckabee-Sanders and Mcillninny.

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.

They are doing that thing again, where they both deny something is true and also claim it was horrible that someone leaked it.

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"?

Semantics?

Eh, you know…nukes…no nukes…poAYTO, poTOTo…semantics.

Trump doesn't have a great track record for saying he was wrong.

Probably better than his track record for being right.

 

[BlooVooDoo]

Give me 24 days notice and I could hide everything.

Ignorance?

What’s the delay measured in Scaramuccis?

Fissile material with a half-life of 20 billion Scaramuccis

Fordow is one of the most watched places on the planet. Don’t you think that the Israeli/American Intels are smart enough to know exactly where those trucks leaving the facility traveled to? Mossad has likely already taken care of the problem.

If Iran rebuilds, or if we didn’t destroy all of the nuclear capability, we can bomb ‘em again. What is Iran going to do to stop us as they didn’t even get off a shot against our bomber convoy.

Not for MAGA. For them, everything is simple (e.g. I feel it in my 'gut'), and that's the issue.

Why did defense intelligence bother with a post-strike assessment? Trump had already provided a comprehensive assessment before the jets were halfway home.

LOL. When you have no evidence in your favor, you just make some up. Yes, Mossad has likely taken care of it. Nothing to worry about. Of course, if Mossad took care of it, then Trump deserves no credit but that's a distraction.

How the fuck would you know anything about this?

Yep, it's all tidy ain't it? Do you also tell your clients before discovery "this one is a slam dunk"? It sure seems like that's your M.O.
