Let me make this perfectly clear Corky

Piggy is in no way positioned to successfully Taco.

Iran would have to buy into that Taco

They are winning

Understand that

Iran is winning.

Iran has zero incentive to stop fighting

If they stop they lose their advantage

If they stop Israel and the US will rearm and come back better prepared a year from now.

Iran understands that.

Piggy has shown himself utterly untrustworthy. He withdrew from an important agreement and attacked Iran TWICE in the midst of negotiations.

Iran has zero reason to agree to any ceasing of hostilities.

Iran's response has been devastating and a HUGE surprise to our military. Think about that, we spend a trillion dollars per year and are SURPRISED by the response from Iran?

That is Pearl Harbor levels of incompetence.

Israel is getting pounded by Iranian missiles and Iran is not even sending that many there. Israel's interceptors simply cannot either keep up with the number of incoming missiles OR cannot intercept the faster missiles.

It is decidedly in Iran's favor to extend hostilities until there is REAL pain and Piggy has to come crawling for a truce.

That is going to mean serious concessions by Piggy, like withdrawal from the middle east.

Do you think Piggy is willing to do that?

He would sooner use a couple of tactical nukes to get his way

No, Piggy will not Taco, it is too late for that

Thanks magat scum.

Iraq has shut down port operations.

This is getting ------- real bad.

Dow down to 30,000? I can see it

Oil at $200/barrel? I can see it.

Here's one for you

Noncombat fire on USS Gerald Ford injures two sailors
Two American sailors have been wounded in a noncombat-related fire on the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier, the US military says.

The blaze originated in the ship's main laundry area, CENTCOM said, adding that there was no damage to the ship's propulsion plant and the two soldiers were in stable condition.

"The aircraft carrier remains fully operational," it said.

Anyone really believe this from our government?

That during active, high volume attack on Iran that the laundry stewards dropped a cigarette into a laundry basket?

You think something like that rises to the level of a CENTCOM press release?

They had to assure us the propulsion wasn't effected?!? Like WTF!?! What does a small fire in the laundry room have to do with the engines?????????

Really?

Assume for a second that this press release is a lie?

What does that tell you?

Iran hit our carrier?

That would not be good.

I am not saying it happened or even likely, but it is a realistic possibility.

Yes, I fully admit this is conjecture, but our government is CLEARLY lying about the cost of this war.
