Salute!
Heh heh, from the guy that has not called foreign leaders iceholes, morons, insane, etc.
If I had the warplan explained right up front, I would feel better commenting in how much of "the plan" the U.S. and IDF has achieved.
But along with all the critics here, all I hear on the tube is "Iran cannot have nuclear weapons". Secondly, "Iran does not own the Strait of Hormuz". Any critics hear something else? So many objectives that we were not privy to, could be accomplished. The air aspects seem pretty well under control, so no effective defense against iDF or U.S. plinking at point tgts of choice.
Personal surprises? Yep.
- apparently, many nations were not expecting Iran to play the "strait" card if their source of $$ for their nuclear program was theatened. Over years of covert action and many violated agreements, they labored to get their nukes. I never once since 1979 heard a peep about recanting their vow to exterminate Israel and cut the head off the snake, ...the "Great Satan"
review the history of the Ayatolla who changed the country in 1979 in ways nobody really expected. But even then, only a small group of zealots went along, and the people suffered... still do
