IF Iran's Nuclear Program Has Been "Completely Obliterated"....

....is there any need to try to force negotiations by continuing to attack? It seems to me there is not. If they try to reconstitute the program just hit them again. It seems to me we should be using PSYOPs and covert operations to help the Iranian people overthrow the Islamic Government. Now that they have Starlink perhaps they can more effectively coordinate their efforts. And of course the US and Israel can provide military assistance as needed to pave the way.

For Gos's sake no boots on the ground and use military strikes sparingly. We don't want to set the region ablaze.

That is huge IF. Have you seen the satellite images?

@samueltyler2 Thus the cap IF.

@samueltyler2 I have not, but I've read the opinions of our best intelligence people, which are that Iran wasn't capable of building nuclear weapons even before the bombs were dropped.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@LordShadowfire yes as in the build up to the Iraqi invasion, we were told the same!

MoveAlong · 70-79, M

@LordShadowfire Not only our intelligence community but several from Europe including GB. The situation has now changed, probably not for the better. You cannot unring the bell or a better analogy might be you cannot undrop the bomb.

@MoveAlong was there a cowboy riding those bombs?

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@samueltyler2 I'm guessing you'd like to apply for that job.

@LordShadowfire If it were doomsday, maybe.

@LordShadowfire i am not totally in favor of what "we" are doing, but Iran is not the innocent bystander.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@samueltyler2 So, what I'm hearing you say is that you disagree with the international intelligence community when they all say Iran was not building nuclear weapons. Can you share with me the intelligence you've gathered that they didn't have that led you to the conclusion that they were incorrect in their assessment?

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@LordShadowfire where did i say anything like that? Do you not believe that Iran has been the force behind so much chaos, death, etc/

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@samueltyler2 Sure I do. Just like I believe the US has been the force behind chaos, death, etc.

In the past.

And now here we are doing it again. But Iran wasn't. Iran was abiding by the agreement they made with President Obama before all of this.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@LordShadowfire the agreement was actually with POTUS Obama.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@samueltyler2 Yes, thank you. I edited my response.
