Cargo planes are big, slow and have no stealth capability or countermeasures. As damaged as the Iranian air defenses are, they still pose a threat to such planes. SO that option is out. Also, could be the bunker busters are only located in the Us, So either fly the the bombs to Diego Garcia and load onto a B2, or load them on to a B2 in MIssouri and just fly direct. |

I'm sure he convinced John Taffer he knows how to make a Manhattan.....
Trump clearly has read "The Art of War." He practiced deception perfectly here. It helps that low-IQ liberals take every word he says literally. So much so the Iranians probably did as well. The side benefit is that the TACO crowd has been humiliated and everything else he promises gets taken even more serious now. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

In the pantheon of stupid MrV posts, this takes the cake. You clearly are implying that Trump’s ‘lie’ was a negative, not the clear and obvious positive it was. Another example of your overwhelming TDS. As far as the possibility of US ground troops there…. I don’t think our country could stomach dead US soldiers from us sending troops in. As DRich posted, I do believe Iran will target US civilians anywhere they can find them. |

I am not saying cargo planes would be a good idea to launch the large bombs, I am just saying that I heard that was an option. My understanding is that no manned planes have been lost by Israel or the U.S. in Iran during this weeklong confrontation. That includes them flying over 1000 manned sorties. I think the Iranian air defense is pretty much non-existent at this point. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

Another misdiagnosis there, doc: how's your malpractice premiums these days? Again, my key point is only that Trump blatantly lied; I said nothing about a ground war. Yeah, lying is a negative...didn't your mama teach you anything? It seems you clowns will applaud the oaf for any lie, including the "stolen election" nonsense. |

Which lie are you referring to? If it was the "two week" one, I believe he said that he will determine actions within the next two weeks, not that he would wait two weeks. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

Only a total dumbski would call the two week thing a “lie.” As if Trump would give the exact time. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 4239 | He could have surprised the Sharia Law group more if Trump would have said 3 months, etc. It would have let me know I could go bass fishing for the weekend. |

| Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 30 Posts: 5255 | Looks like Iran just voted to close the straight of Hormuz in Parliament, the decision is not finalized yet, but it's basically a done deal. This is going to be an interesting week, if the U.S. responds... Edit: I would buy gas today if you need it.... |

If they actually try to implement it, I would expect repercussions from multiple nations, of course led by the U.S. but UK and others will be involved. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |
