israel determined to start war

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Of course DonOld is lying, no news there as we move a second carrier into the med for a total of three in the region.


It occurs to me that DonOld may and probably is playing high stakes crazy man chicken.

Listening to some military talking heads while driving home tonight.

According to them this is not strictly an air operation even with the Big Beautiful Bomb (it made sense and sounded right), it's gonna take some boots on the ground.

Betcha TACO TACO's.
TACOs from what - Being the Peace POTUS or from being Nuttyyahoo's puppet? I'll guess the former - Mr "America First" joins Bibi's War in his first 5 months. :sick:

So he can join Srub in an open ended war with boots on the ground in the middle east based on bad intelligence?

Yeah, maybe that is right.

Yeah, and so much for the urgency to take immediate action.

Marc Thiessen, chickenhawk. Figures. His resume gets even better than that.
... Career

After graduating from college, Thiessen moved to Washington, D.C., where he has worked for many years, starting at the lobbying firm Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly (BMSK) from 1989 to 1993. BMSK is notable as two of the founders and name partners, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, became convicted felons during the first Trump administration ...

From 1995 to 2001, he served on Capitol Hill as spokesman and senior policy advisor to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jesse Helms (R-NC).
My departed Mom apologizes for that. :oops:
He joined the George W. Bush administration as Chief Speechwriter for Donald Rumsfeld in 2001, and later to Bush's speechwriting team in 2004. In February 2008, he became chief speechwriter when William McGurn resigned.

In March 2009, Thiessen and Peter Schweizer (Liarbart News, Hoover institution) founded the communications firm, Oval Office Writers LLC.

Since 2009, Thiessen has been a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is also a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

... he has criticized the Obama administration and advocated against the Iran nuclear deal....
How has withdrawing worked out? Is he now covering for his shame?
He also serves as a Fox News commentator.
:roll: Of course.
Book

Thiessen's first book, Courting Disaster: How the CIA Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack, was published by Regnery Publishing in January 2010. In the book he argued that the CIA's systematic use of enhanced interrogation techniques was effective, lawful, and moral. The book was endorsed by the former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and former Attorney General Michael Mukasey....

A pseudonymous former military interrogator and author of How to Break a Terrorist, writing for Slate, characterized Thiessen's book as "a literary defense of war criminals" and criticized Thiessen for relying solely on the opinions of CIA interrogators.
:puke-left: For decades, Thiessen has been about as evil as it gets.

Supposedly, the GQP is divided over whether to become Bibi's bitch. -0-?

Trump admin open to using tactical nuke on Iran?

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-c ... ow-2088461
The Trump administration has not taken anything "off the table," including the use of tactical nuclear weapons, if it decides to take military action against the underground Iranian nuclear facility at Fordow, Fox News reported, citing a White House official

...

Unlike Israel, the U.S. possesses 30,000-pound GBU-57s "bunker buster" bombs that are specifically designed to reach targets buried deep beneath the surface and can be deployed by B-2 Spirit heavy bombers.

On Wednesday, citing people "familiar with the deliberations," The Guardian reported that Trump "does not appear to be fully convinced" that GBU-57s bombs can reach the Fordow facility

...

It said the effectiveness of GBU-57s against the Fordow facility was "a topic of deep contention" within the Pentagon, citing two defense officials, with some reportedly believing that only a tactical nuclear weapon could destroy the site. It added that Trump was "not considering" the option and said it hadn't been presented by Hegseth or Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Caine.

...

Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich said she was told by a White House official that The Guardian report was "false." According to Heinrich, the official "has no doubt about the efficacy of bunker busters in eliminating the site at Fordow" adding they also denied "that any options [including tactical nukes] have been taken off the table."

I thought I had a little more time to predict that he would become Bibi's Bitch.

US moves B-2 bombers as Trump weighs Iran options

We sure moved a lot of resources. Some in the military might have been disappointed if we didn't go to war, but I'll wager more would have felt used and abused for TACO's whims. Now you have to take it with a grain of salt, but I'd really become convinced that we were going to war.
Trump announces ‘very successful’ air strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that the United States has completed a “very successful attack” on nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

The president said all planes are now outside of Iranian air space and “on their way home.”

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Saturday evening.
I guess the bunker busters were used.
:angry-banghead: :cry:
Trump to deliver national address on Iran airstrikes

President Donald Trump announced he will deliver an address to the nation at 10pm ET on Saturday from the White House, following what he called a “very successful military operation” targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.

“I will be giving an Address to the Nation at 10:00 P.M., at the White House, regarding our very successful military operation in Iran. This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

The president had earlier announced that the United States has completed a “very successful attack” on nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

Trump also re posted a social media post that said “FORDOW IS GONE.”
