Big time No one wants an all out war, but Iran crossed a line and were hit because of it Cool, calculated response from American leadership Strongly disagree. No surprise there. By the way, for you and the other guy who has joined you in posts about Biden's actions re the three casualties and their remains. Remember the Navy Seal named Chambers, who was killed boarding a weapon delivering boat last month? The guy was from Maryland, I had dinner with my best buddy from AOCS last night. He was a F-14 RIO and he lives in Annapolis. They have a completely different view of how the Biden Admin handled his death. I don't get excited about this stuff, but it wasn't good. For what it's worth. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 14 hours ago, Tiberius said: So you are overly critical of the Biden administration, so what? I am critical of what appears to be a useless, expensive strike. Five and half days to move valuable people and items away. The usual response after an attack on US troops is the usual, "We will respond. We won't say how." No problem there. Then to state that we have "Decided to respond," and even more silly, two days later, "We have now decided how we are going to respond." When the action actually occurs, press releases detailing what was used, with clear attempts to show how we used x number of pgm's, which was clearly mentioned to demonstrate extreme care. The seemingly unnecessary use of long range strategic bombers? Why? The entire thing could have been done Tuesday, unless there was some element we have not been told. Obviously prepared press releases. The thing looked like they were waiting to build a PR stage prior to actually doing what needed to be done. We still have no reasonable explanation of how that drone got through. We have a Sec of Defense who goes down for a few days, tells nobody of import, turns over the lead to a vacationing assistant in Puerto Rico who has no idea what is going on and clearly lacks the material support to handle the job from there. Is this a confidence builder? It isn't to me. One last thing, related to you. You posted a link to a PAO release describing A-10 involvement. You prefaced it by stating it was "interesting if true." Why is that interesting? What was the point? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 RETALIATION, BIDEN STYLE FTA: We can infer that the Biden administration believes in telegraphing its punches. Marc Thiessen poses a rhetorical question: “How stupid do you have to be to announce you will strike two days in advance and where[?]” It’s smart if you want to minimize the damage done (or to be done). The administration also believes in repetition. The statement attributed to Biden includes this variation of what has become an administration mantra: “The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world.” It reminds me of LBJ’s classic one-liner on Vietnam at the time of the Gulf of Tonkin incident: “We still seek no wider war.” Although the intent and the circumstances vary greatly, both statements carry the air of fiasco. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/02/retaliation-biden-style.php 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Egg Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Last night 11:30, neither FOX nor CNN were reporting on the strike, which surprised me. Switched to MSNBC, they were covering it. They had on a Military analyst who gave fair, non biased, aspects. Drove the host nuts he wasn’t insisting Trump and Putin were the problem regarding the strike. She was absolutely unable to maintain her TDS, she kept interrupting him to assert this pertains to Putin and Trump more than anything. She was rude to him, felt sort of bad for the guy. Another example of how the Left will eat their own if they don’t conform to the script. Edited February 3 by US Egg 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not talked to my Tampa buddies about this incident yet, but what was your friend expecting the administration to do differently regarding those guys getting lost at sea?
