    Rolled in what way(s)?

    I purposefully wasn't specific. In all the ways one can get rolled.

    Yeah, that’s a wide range of possibilities. And it could still happen.

      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

            But I'm very, very interested in the future behavior of the mullahs. If it doesn't squelch the proxies the job is not done yet.

                Really good summary, though probably a little hopeful in some aspects. Still worth the read.

                They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                  Yeah, it’s a bit optimistic but still a pretty clear eyed look at where things are.

                      If you'll recall, this was exactly my objection to our involvement - possible failure to destroy Fordow.

                      Now, it is absolutely true that some powers will try very hard to portray that as true, whether it is or not. Finding the truth might be difficult, but we'll be keeping an eye on the sites.

                        In all likelihood it’s somewhere in between. What do they mean by months? 3? Or 120?

                          6 said the report.

                          While the question of who/what to believe is ever present, before the Defense Intelligence Agency report was leaked congressmen were already publicly complaining that the Administration canceled a planned briefing.

                              Trump has spent the last couple of hours making multiple posts how the bombs obliterated everything.... which probably means they didn't... sigh...

                                      That's the problem, we don't have a clue who's telling the truth. Or even if anyone knows what the truth is. Every news station trots out their retired 3 or 4 star general (I don't even listen to colonels) or atomic energy PhD and no two has the same opinion about anything.

                                      I am somewhat partial to Rebecca Grant PhD over at Fox, though. She gets all excited and squeaky when she's talking about Tomahawk missiles being fired off.
