B-2 crews have trained for this very mission for years. If Iran refused to give up their nuclear ambitions it was eventually going to happen

(71,062 posts)... when he broke all agreements with Iran over the stopping it's nuclear program. This is 100% on TACO and it does no one any good. Did it improve your life any? Did it improve the lives of Israelis who have around 275 nuclear weapons?????
Explain why Iran is not allowed by what authority to not be "allowed" nuclear weapons.
For the record: ALL nations, including the US should disarm all nuclear weapons.

Trump's fault for blowing up (pun intended) a deal that could have kept Iran from getting nuclear weapons... or every significant elected politician of either party since 1980 who all agreed that Iran cannot be allowed to get one?

(71,062 posts)... stop Pakistan from developing it's nukes? Pakistani nuclear experts have helped North Korea in developing it's nuke program. Are we going to bomb North Korea?
No nation should have nuclear weapons. People like TACO and Hogsbreath just got away with some rank shit. If they keep escalating, how far from a nuking of some enemy nation are we? How sure are we that the military would keep the nukes in storage in spite of TACO? I'll admit, I feel better about the Army now that they soft shoe-ed TACOs parade, I feel confident the Navy won't go rogue, but the air Force is a whole different culture.
My ex-son in law is an Air Force Academy graduate, and he was a grade a jack ass. As an LT and a drone pilot, he got himself discharged over consorting with sex workers. I admit, he colors my opinion of the AF.
I was a 4.0 sailor. I know I could have hacked Army life. I think I'd have been washed out of the Air Force.

(447 posts)was why didn't they take out the outbuildings there, that reportedly control the ventilation and other control systems of the facility. Why not bomb the roads or tunnel entrances? Those actions could have gone a long way toward rendering the use of the facility as extremely difficult. I think this was more of a show of massive force that really wasn't needed. Israel could have done what they needed to do without his entering the fray.

(264 posts)Looks like a bunch of dirt was displaced but I see nothing that resembles equipment or machinery or any type of human made debris. Even the roads look relatively untouched.
