Israel will respond strongly after the hospital missile hit.  The Iranian regime is not going to last very long.

Bombing hospitals for me, but not for thee.

Is that wrong?  Huh.

[Scoop Snoop]

Only once muggsy admits he's about 4 points short of a functional 5 point plan.

For those old enough to remember the slogan for Timex watches....it works for Muggsy as well.

"It takes a licking and keeps on ticking."

IMHO this was an example of incompetence and not malice, and an example of how powerless Iran is to respond effectively.  Sure its possible that Iran targeted the hospital, but based on their lobbing ordinance and hoping for the best (worst?) so far, it seems the less likely explanation.

To be fair to Muggsy, I don't think even he ever described it as functional.

[GB Warrior]

I think Muggsy's plan is best summarized as

1. Topple Khamenei
2. Get bitches

Who needs strategy or a plan?

In the broadest sense, the plan is undeniably brilliant.

War time in America.  Fantastic

War time in America.  Fantastic

In all honesty, the world is now a more dangerous place. Everyone's intelligence indicated Iran was not seeking a nuclear weapon, and were engaged in negotiations.

They were bombed anyway. Actions like that upset that natural order of the world, and eliminate the trust/respect other countries have in the USA.

[tower912]

Indeed.

Countdown to re-instituting the draft has begun in our house.   Says the father of an 18 year-old.

No one respects America anymore and I can't blame them one bit.  But at least student loans didn't get forgiven.  Imagine if that happened?

It's kind of sad that the world is now hoping that Iran is the rational, peace seeking nation as the only hope to stop an all out war in the Middle East.

Very rational. Especially with regard to women, hey?

We illegally bombing Saudi Arabia, too?

Depending on who you read, the negotiations appeared to be a bit of a joke with Iran repeating the same messaging and not wanting to budge.  They continue to enrich uranium, try to expand ballistic missile capabilities, etc... 

I'm certainly not condoning military action, but Ive seen a lot of contrarian takes the last few days trying to make Iran out to be some misunderstand peaceful force whose only fault is being mischaracterized by propaganda and completely disregarding Iran's role and efforts in arming and funding groups all over the Middle East.

Some may be mistakenly thinking it would be Iran being altruistic and peaceful to avoid a war when it would actually be Iran realizing that they are already screwed in an armed conflict and cutting their losses, IMO.

Well, the good news is, they'll act accordingly now.  Especially since we immediately asked for peace.

Are you sure most of the world sees Iran in that light? Their extremist religious government has been a bad actor for decades and decades.

I think you misread my meaning.

Right now, Iran has been unilaterally attacked by both Israel and the US. The Middle East is on the verge of all out war.

Israel said they will keep attacking. The US says if Iran doesn't surrender we will keep attacking. The only hope is that Iran says no to war, which would mean that they appear as the rational, peace seeking nation in this ordeal.

Related, the President is saying they must agree to peace, or they will be further attacked. What does that even mean?

I agree on the bolded.

And I agree on the negotiations. Iran wasn't going to give up being able to have a nuclear enrichment program, but that is different than pursuing a nuclear weapon, which our own intelligence said they had no desire to do. Peace could have been found in the middle.

So it may be true then that Iran was not overly engaged in negotiations, but we also had the President tonight say that all of this was done as part of a team with Israel, which to Iran and the rest of the world, indicates that we were never negotiating in good faith, we were just helping facilitate a surprise attack. That's not a good look.

Who are Iran's allies?  Russia?  Yemen?  The tell for me is what is the USA up against.
