    They seem to have some very senior sources, so it's quite likely it's above the level where that information is aggregated.

    Except that logic *does* follow when it comes to "how much are we missing". "Our intelligence on Iran was so bad we didn't know about a missile that could reach London, what else don't we know" is a valid line of reasoning .

    I dunno, how many times do they need to attack our ships and bases and try to assassinate our president before they qualify ? Why is it you seem to think the US needs to just sit back and take it forever. We should have taken them out at the first opportunity after the '79 hostage crisis...

    If by "surprise", you mean they didn't get prior warning of the exact time and targets, then yea. But, most rational people would agree they had plenty of warning that an attack was coming, and *nobody* is going to give them more detail than that. We have been striking them on and off for the...

    Feb 19th, Trump explicitly said they had 10 or 15 days to reach a diplomatic solution or "bad things" would happen. Literally the whole world knew a strike was coming and the approximate time frame for it. It was only a "sneak attack" in the delusions of someone who is determined to hate...

    You think that was a sneak attack ? They had months of explicit direct warnings it was coming. Just because they thought Trump was bluffing doesn't make it a sneak attack. And I do think they are enough of a *global* threat that we needed to act. Probably should have decades ago. The fact...

    You seriously think someone is controlling Trump ? Isreal's goals and ours are roughly in alignment. Stabilization of the middle east is obviously more important to them, but that doesn't mean it isn't also in our interests. Since we both want that, it makes sense to coordinate our efforts.

    Has anyone else noticed that Democrat politicians throw weird anti-American temper tantrums?

    They would cite things like the atomic bombs, or Dresden. And they would try to conflate the internment of Japanese Americans here to what was done to the Jews. Now, there is no excuse for what happened to the Japanese Americans, but comparing the two is disgusting. That's like saying a slap...

    Has anyone else noticed that Democrat politicians throw weird anti-American temper tantrums?

    It's the logical conclusion of their ridiculous "critical theory" philosophy. When you divide all of society into "oppressed" and "oppressor", then whoever has power is automatically the bad guys, and whoever doesn't is the good guys. The if you point out that that means Germany and Japan...

    We went to war in Iran for the same reason we went into Venezuela. It's a war for control of the planet, and those are key Lynch pins in China's strategy. Just because half the country is too stupid to understand why they don't want China in charge doesn't mean they will like it if it happens.

    Yea, nobody is going to trust anyone in that arrangement. But the fact that they are even talking is huge. If you remember Desert Storm, it was one of Bush's highest priorities to keep Isreal out of the fight because if they entered the rest of the Arabs would have taken off. Now they're...

    While I'm not against prosecuting Obama in principle, it would be an absolute shit show and ultimately nothing would be accomplished.

    It's a war of attrition. Will the American public run out of patience before Iran runs out of Ayatollas. OFC, Iran's latest tactic if lashing out at anyone they can reach is not helping them there. The rest if the Arabs aren't going to demand we stop just because they suffer some minor...

    No, you don't. Unstable leadership is a quick way to turn somewhere into a shithole fast. You want to cycle out the shitweasels and replace them with a nice stable batch of guys you can trust to run the place smoothly with no drama for the next 30 years.

    The trick is to just keep eliminating them until you get one that's reasonable enough you can live with him. Or the regime is destabilized enough to fall to a revolution or a coup. Pretty sure we can just keep dropping Ayatollas indefinitely until we finally find one who wants to live.

    They're incapable. The US needs a foreign intelligence agency, but the CIA needs to end, and probably half of their senior leadership should be in prison. Then you can build something new, and maybe recycle some of the lower level assets.
