An earlier planted story press escapade http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1669669/posts
Take a deep breath and grow up, people. The Pentagon prepares thousands of plans that never get executed. It’s part of their job to consider contingencies and develop plans to address them. There’s nothing shocking or crazy about this. If they weren’t doing this, they would be derelict in their duties.
Nonsense comparison.
Taking out radars to protect our assets has been military strategy for over 50 years.
It would be irresponsible not to include the option.
Or, these possibilities we’re covered just so they could be “leaked” and let it be known to the Russians they were let off easy.

I have little doubt it’s the same faction of bureaucrats involved.
Agreed. And, by the same token, we no longer have to destroy them with kinetic weapons, just disable them at the right time and for a specified period.
Think Deir ez-Zor, Syria - September 2007.
Thoughtful points, but I think doubtful - as the whole point was to stop the spread and use of chemical weapons by the Russians (and others) used in Syria and the UK.
Assad didn’t just say ‘oh well lets gas them and make every body mad at me’. He had to clear it with the Russians and very possibly the Iranians al Qods troops under Major General Q. Soleimani’s command.
Germany is shipping chemical weapon components to Iran which are then shipped to Syria keeping Assad supplied. So that was the message to all concerned - we will obliterate your chemical weapons factories and stocks.
DJT was just asking for a more forceful alternative which would have escalated right off the bat. Perhaps, if the weapons are used again, then a stronger ‘worded’ message may be sent.
He refused to attack Russians directly and risk starting World War III.
Obviously he’s Putin’s stooge. /sarc
Bump — good info. Thanks.
Unless you threaten to fire everyone in the room, it's a meaningless gesture.
Hitlers biggest mistake was declaring war on the US. The isolationists whould never had agreed to go to war in Erurope in 41 or 42. Germany never attacked the US. That was the standard then. Had Herr Hitler waited for the V2 been developed wither multiple stages, the outcome would have been different.
Hitler had the non agreesion pact with Stalin and England was subdued.
If Hitler had not invaded the USSR, had made a separate peace with the UK in 1940, then the post WWII world would have had a three way cold war between Western democracies, Fascist Europe(Third Reich) and the USSR.
The whole point of making a separate peace with the UK, would have been to give Hitler a free hand to invade Russia.
Give it up...troll
Well said and true. The Russian trolls here want neither truth or logic.
Russians are proven liars...can never be trusted. About anything.
#22...perfect.
Correct....Germany aided Saddam too. Now Germany is selling everything to Iran.
