So let Trump give it to them. No more last chances.

When is that going to happen? I would have targeted the houses of their leadership, including the military, and government buildings already with more than few cruise missiles. granted there will be collateral damage but it is essentially the same as when President Reagan went after Khaddaffi, minus the manned bombers.

Send a bunch of cheap “fake drones” to deplete and expose Iran’s missile resources.

It was reported today that a leak got out to Iran that the strike was imminent. They positioned 150 civilians around the sight, much like Saddam did, as well as Mohamar Khidaffi, did so that if the strike happened, the collateral damage would be broadcast world wide.

We have ordinance that could take out a person in a car, and not hurt other occupants right now. We just need to adjust the ordinance used. I think strategic shots at 1 minaret at a time on the Mosque, at time dropped by a B-2 in the middle of the day, might send a good message.

As Rumsfeld said, we can kill them over there, or wait until they come here, or something along those lines. I don’t remember verbatim, but that was the point.


Problem is they are coming over here. And who is rolling out the welcome mat for them? The same war hawks insisting we spill American blood in the Middle East. Yeah, no thanks.

If we know that they’re going to shoot down our drones, we should overwhelm them with cheap ones. Darken the sky with them.

Seems a “suicide module” could easily be put into these drones, that once they have been “locked on” ... they release a missile to the locking site.

Ask yourself why? They’re not insane. What are they trying to get by poking the bear?

get sympathy from the EU;
make PDJT look like a warmonger and divide his supporters;
unite the Iranian people behind ayatollahs.

they are going to crack very soon, time is on our side as their treasury empties out. its a clever strategy but PDJT seems to understand what they are trying to do here.

Our pilots put three bombs down an air vent about a meter square and they were set to detonate at a specific elevation in the building and did. Our airplanes were gone before the explosion. Bet we can do even better on the second try.

Sounds like the first try was a confirmed do. What's the point of a second try? To blow up rubble and goat sex smelling hamburger?

No that would be stupid to even consider. I’m talking about a second target in a different location.

Hi. A scenario...

XO: Captain, for some unexplained reason a D-5 out of tube 18 just launched!

Captain: WTF!

XO: Sir, we are tracking the telemetry, and the missile has past the Fail Safe point.

Captain: WTF! We’re is the missile headed?

XO: Appears to be the city of Qom, Sir.

Captain: In Iran?

XO: Yes Sir.

Captain: What are the warheads dialed up to?

XO: About 250 kt each Sir.

Captain: no need to inform JCS or the President. Let’s see what happens.

5.56mm

The drone was in international airspace.
