Trump was just off the cuff jibber jabber to the press IMO.


You don't think he's been briefed on it? When they asked him he said, "from what I've seen, it was the Iranians" (and as you yourself said, they can look at the coordinates of every single strike). He knows what happened. He told you what happened. You just choose not to believe it because you had already made up your mind that it was an American mistake.

I think he gets briefed on a ton of shite and at the time this probably wasn’t very high on the priority list. I think he likely misspoke or got this instance with another one.

I don’t fault him for it. It’s completely normal. Hegseth only has to focus on military shite. Rubio has to focus only on the diplomatic. Trump has to know as much as possible about everything so I’ll give him some leeway on this one. Although I’m aware the media and his political opponents will not.

You think that the one thing that the media is trying to hold his feet to the fire isn't on his list of priorities for briefings? Man, that's ridiculous. You're twisting yourself into pretzels here in order to hang onto your bias.

No, the bias you have towards your own premature conclusion that it was a mistake made by American forces.

Well, that is tragic. The Iranian Navy undoubtedly opened a base-adjacent school as shielding, but I'm sorry to hear this was our doing. I'm also sorry to hear DOD investigators are leaking to the NYTimes.

Really? I mean, we have video footage of a missile malfunctioning and dropping straight down out of the air into the area (and before you claim that you can see an exhaust trail in the video of the missile falling, but not the one on the school realize that you're only seeing a couple frames of the one that hit the school). You've got the fact that this supposed "cruise missile" hit the school coming damn near straight down on top of it. And you've got the fact that the US and Israelis have been jamming missiles over the area from the outset, which will cause exactly what we saw.

Do you think that was a tomahawk or a glide bomb?

I think that is the most likely explanation yes. Is it possible that an Iranian missile went astray or was even targeted at the school at the same time we launched our attack on it? Yes. But I stand by my assertion that by far the most likely cause was old or bad intel about the current layout of the naval base.

Yep. Because the moslems in Iran continue to pursue evil. Thanks for the assist.

No, I'm asking you if you think the munition that hit the school was a tomahawk or a glide bomb?

Oh well, we’ve caused a half million or more deaths since Iraq. Just sweep these deaths under the rug with all the rest.

No doubt about it. But then again, those people believe chicks can have dicks, and men can get pregnant.

My apologies, no reasonable person would believe that we intentionally targeted a school full of little girls.

I’m not a munitions expert, but I believe it was most likely one of ours.

The Iranians on the other hand have a history of killing school girls.

Something else to throw into the calculus.
