The Iran Nuclear Program thread

That happens shortly after he gets us militarily involved.

I'm thinking Trump's looking at the disparagement of GHWB's Presidency - not "finishing the job".

I’m thinking that Trump’s thinking about those mountains and the potential skiing resort he can build there…

You might be right, Trump probably fancies himself like the Don Rickles character, Crap Game, in Kelly’s Heroes.

If so it is very poor thinking. Bush I did exactly what the coalition agreed to, expel Iraq from Kuwait. It was done quite masterfully. There was no mandate to slaughter retreating Iraqi troops or to depose Hussein.

No surprise if true. Yesterday when he unthinkingly called for “unconditional surrender”, he painted himself into a very tight corner and has only emboldened the Iranian regime to thumb its nose at him and rankle the looney MAGAt faction in the GOP.

Except he doesn’t mind saying one thing on Tuesday and something else on Wednesday. Or even 5 minutes later on Tuesday.

China sending mystery planes to Iran.

Air defenses? Surface to air missiles for Fordo?

I wonder if Bolton went to see a doctor over his 5 hour erection after Israel started bombing?

[jon-nyc]

Might only be semi-erect until the B-2 takes off from Diego Garcia.

So it’s been 48 hours since the night that was supposed to be remembered for centuries….

[jon-nyc]

I'm glad you remembered that night. I had already forgotten.

[bachophile]

In the bowels of sheba this morning at 715.

We are hearing a direct hit on Beershebas biggest hospital. Still don’t know details

[blondie]

I’m praying you stay safe and your hospital stays safe Bach.

[kluurs]

Sorry to hear that news, Bach. Keep your head down - and a few meters of concrete between you and anything wayward.

[jon-nyc]

Horrible.
