re: PT Poll. Go on the record with your prediction. Does this Iran war work out how we want?

Our air game was always going to result in victory. There actually was no other outcome.

If the goal is just bombing some targets and leaving, sure, airpower can do that. We’ve been very good at blowing shite up from the sky for decades. But if the goal is anything beyond that, history makes me far less confident than you.

Airpower alone doesn’t control territory, doesn’t secure infrastructure, doesn’t stabilize governments, and doesn’t manage the aftermath of a regime collapse.

And it doesn’t determine what replaces them.

So what makes you so confident the “air game” alone produces a victory? If a victory is anything more complicated than “bomb some shite and go home,” that theory hasn’t exactly racked up a strong track record.

Yes.

But only if the United States has the resolve to see to it that this Islamic Regime in Iran is dead, buried, burned and sent to the Pits of Hell.
