What gas station do you work at?

You know nothing about logistics or purchasing. Smart bombs were being developed in 1969.

Cost? Do the US a favor, take your BB gun and kill the enemy.

The people that leak to the WaPo always do so to put forth a narrative that often is not true.

Bingo. It's the CIA propaganda rag, just like the NYT may as well be the swamp FBI newsletter.

I don't doubt there is concern during a mission, and I don't doubt there is paranoia of leaks. However, the rest of this article is shite. This is made up by the author and passed on as info from a "source".

They are not concerned about it lasting beyond a few days. Trump and team were prepared for it to take some time to carry out their objectives.

We are talking about the same Pentagon that has a plan for every imaginable event....just in case..... so is it really "news" to say someone in the pentagon is "worried" about contingencies happening....... i'm sure they are takes with thinking up anything that COULD happen then trying to come up with a plan to counter it.......

The mood should be intense. They have a very important mission to complete.

only way to ensure the IRGC doesn't seize power is boots on the ground. been saying it since day 1....all of the neocon propagandists on this board are in complete denial but its unavoidable.

It's not about being in denial. It's about recognizing what is happening. What boots are you suggesting are going to be put "on the ground?" Where are the troop movements? They're non-existent.

I would hope that the mood is very intense and they are very paranoid. It means they are human. Yea, it's probably very intense and stressful in that building. Does the WaPo expect it to be a fricking rainbow and sunshine mission where everything is simple and easy and safe and perfect? Pfffffft - fricking morons.

It's just another stupid fricking NO shite SHERLOCK propaganda article

yeah - just think how many new "Learing Centers" could be stuffed into another garage apt in the Somalia community of with that money.

Might even be able to increase the learing in Massachusetts with some of that $$$$

That’s an interesting version of the definition of war. The other party must put boots on the ground elsewhere.

So, you're taking WAPO seriously now?

You might want to take a couple of deep breaths and relax. Your extreme TDS can't be good for your health.

I posted Hannity in another thread to balance the WaPo article I posted here in the OP. So you can downvote me here and upvote me there.

No, just that it has to be sustained armed conflict. The reason I said boots on the ground at this point is because they're already to the point of just firing missiles blindly and indiscriminately in all directions due to having had their command structure taken out within 24 hours and reports are that their stockpiles are quickly dwindling. They're already finished, man. There is nothing sustained coming from their side.

You would need to see them make some sort of real effort and initiate a prolonged armed conflict.

We have had a decade of the BS. Why do you ppl.even bother posting this crap

I cannot recall exactly which outlet or exactly when it was, but there was a day during Trump's first term that there was an article that put out something like:

"Trump is likely to react like this, according to anonymous sources that are familiar with his way of thinking."

Like, really? Trump doesn't exactly project his moves, and has been ANYTHING but predictable in his decision making. He is certainly decisive when he pulls the trigger on a decision, but it's pretty much impossible for anyone to predict exactly what he's going to do or how he's going to react.

"Familiar with his way of thinking". That's just somebody literally making some crap up out of thin air.
