I want to thow out some congratulations to the DoD's modeling and simulation guys. Those MOPs were simulated way more than what testing could be done. The nerds should get some kudos.

Kicking them in the balls and removing their nuclear capability was just fine with me, but I don't want to be invested there long term.

Well local radio in San Diego (KOGO) has an article where Adam Shitheat is upset about the attacks and how congress was not told in advance. Also, he notes, based on the reports he's seen (read: allowed to see) did not show Iran building a nuke was "imminent."

I guess the part he's missing - Trump wanted it to be a secret hence the reason Shithead(s) was not/were not told

Thanks, Johnny. What Georgetown U. needs is to send over some God loving, red, white, and blue through and through nuns with bars of soap to visit Prof. Brown.

Iran Says It Launched Missile Attack on US Base in Qatar

The Iranian regime made the announcement on state television and through state-run media outlets like PressTV and Fars News.

Iran said Monday night local time that it launched missile barrages at an American military base in Qatar, two days after a U.S. airstrike targeted the country’s nuclear facilities.

The Iranian regime made the announcement on state television and through state-run media outlets including PressTV and Fars News.
“The message of this decisive action by the sons of the nation in the armed forces to the White House and its allies is clear and direct,” the Iranian military said in a statement through state-run media, adding that Iran won’t “leave any violation of its territorial integrity, sovereignty, or national security unanswered.”

Other details about the attack were not released by the military.

The U.S. military has yet to issue a statement on the alleged missile barrages. The Epoch Times contacted the Pentagon for comment Monday.

This is a breaking news story. More details will follow.

Trump Strikes Came After Direct Iran Terror Threat on US Soil

President Donald Trump abruptly left the G7 last week for urgent issues on Iran and reports are now indicating it was due to Iran telling the U.S. it was going to activate its terrorist proxies on U.S. soil.

The report comes from sources close to NBC News that said an intermediary sent a cable through diplomatic channels that Iran would activate its terror cells in the U.S. if there was a direct U.S. attack on Iran.

That came as Trump was urging Iran to come back to the table to talk about giving up its nuclear weapons aspirations, but after receiving the threat of terrorist attacks on the U.S., Trump left the G7, not due to ceasefire talks but something "much bigger."

That much bigger ultimately wound up being Saturday night's 30,000-pound bunker-busting B-2 stealth bomber airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.

After the threat and departing G7, Trump issued his famed "unconditional surrender" and direct warning to Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying the U.S. had him in their sights.

The U.S. has long called Iran the globe's largest state sponsor of terror, but the reports of the direct threat to activate terrorist cells in the U.S. is a new level of admission of direct tentacles of terrorism around the world.

Without mentioning the NBC report, retired U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Jack Bergman, a member of the House Armed Services Committee and chair of the Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee, told Newsmax there was a classified "threat assessment" shared with some congressional GOP leaders that became the predicate for authorizing Trump's strike on Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday night.

"So my colleagues who talk about what we should have done probably haven't been in the fight when there's lives on the line and threat assessment having been done at the local level to secure the mission," Bergman told Newsmax's "Wake Up America."

"Because, they did have authority to go ahead and do this because we don't want to have another 9/11 happen. That happened. That caught us by surprise. You should never be caught by surprise twice in the same regime."

As for Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., jumping on the "unconstitutional" strike talk to expand to impeachment, do not give the blowhards any "oxygen" for wasted breathe, Bergman concluded.

"Well, as my mother would have said, you got to consider the source," he said. "So if the source of calling for impeachment has no credibility, then you got to just kind of move on.

"So I'll just leave it at that, because we could dwell on what others say all the time, having no knowledge of threat assessment, having no knowledge of what it means to put together a national security posture, a strategy, and then execution of the strategy as necessary."

Newsmax has reached out to the White House for comment on this story.

10 missiles? At bases that had already been evacuated? That's a pretty halfhearted attempt. Basically just a target practice demonstration for the SAM crews. This has to be more about politics and saving face any real attempt at a strike.

The Israelis have taken out a lot of their longer-range missile launchers (plus a lot of the missiles) and the numbers the Iranians have been able to fire toward Israel has dropped significantly in recent days. Qatar's a lot closer so maybe they have a bigger remaining stockpile of shorter range missiles and launchers or maybe, as 92fstech said, it's about saving face, more with their own people amidst increasing calls for regime change, than among the world as a whole.

I am amazed that people like this, who supposedly possess an elite education, cannot find an adequate vocabulary to express themselves. Even more, I am shocked that these towers of intellect are too clueless to realize that the imagery they choose to use, in this case perversely sexual, is a window into their own twisted minds.

If someone hacked into this professor's laptop, I can only imagine the weird things they would find. In keeping with the prof's theme, I am not advocating that anyone hack his computer, I am only speaking symbolically.

It is the right thing to do. How it gets done is the issue. We should be doing everything possible to support and encourage the Iranian people to overthrow the radical islamic leadership, short of "boots on the ground".

Encourage the Iranian people to overthrow the radical islamic leadership? Sure.

Support? That could mean anything you want it to mean.

It has to be "organic" or from within Iran. We can't pick a new dictator more to our liking. We've tried that over, and over around the world and it never ends well. We truly have enough of our own problems at home.

There’s ways of making things work out, if done correctly.
Controlling the internet and media. Putting out favorable information for one person more than another. Disinformation campaigns… briefcases of cash and trucks full of guns also helps.
Focus on the moderates and the more liberal Muslims- which are the majority in the country.

A little bit better than “the Devil you know, and the Devil you don’t”.
It’s just got to look “organic” and not a puppet. Less chance of an uprising/revolution against that regime later on.

Thank you. This Prof failed Freshman Writing class. Sounds like a fifth grader writing for a underground magazine trying to look cool.
