Countach-looking tail lights.

Your literacy seems to be running at about its usual average. Is that good for mid-day?

Seems about right. If it is intact they have at least 2 ways to take advantage and they might be quite pleased right now: Trump doesn't change light...

Hopefully. If they're not we're in the worst case scenario, having proven that the bunkers can't be busted and our threat has no value a la post-2022...

The IAEA not detecting any radiation releases may not be the good news we'd like it to be.

Arguing the inevitability of a clear danger while thinking congress couldn't be readily convinced by those arguments fails a very basic smell test.

You've already presented a bunch of evidence about how much WGU they might have and it didn't add up to "they already have enough for a bomb and it's...

You argue it was clear and do not even contend that it was present. It's And, not Or. The risk to the world of Iran getting a bomb is not trivial....

They have a bomb and they are going to use it tomorrow or next week? The week after that? No. There's plenty of time for a willing congress.

So, again, the danger was that a threat would eventually exist, not that there was any present danger of an attack. Sounds like we agree this was not...

Present means the threat is so immediate that there is no time to consult congress before action must be taken right now to prevent an attack. Not to...

Also different in that there has been a standing congressional justification (good or bad) for the GWOT and droning, while often a poor strategy with...

Because as clear as it might have been it was not present. Is not present. That's why it requires taking the minimal time needed to get congress to...

If "this was not that" can you draw the line to show how unilateral bombing by executive order absent a clear and present danger of an attack on the...

When cono thinks it's over history teaches us to be skeptical. Well, most of us.

I was feeling pretty optimistic about the limited nature until I read that. Feels like last week Wall Street "defeated volatility." If the...

If Sun Tzu were in charge the fourth site would have been the Ayatollah's residence. Or W or Rumsfeld or Hillary or...at least in Iraq we targeted...

Bombs away.

You think it takes that long? This thread could probably host a little over/under action. 4 might be a good spot to open.

So it's confirmed again that dog wagging works. Ok.

Point of order: the CIA was in the right side of WMD. So much so that the Cheney administration used "but his wife is CIA!" to discredit a dissenting...
