I have not seen mentioned that "your favorite President"

Gave an address that was PRERECORDED.

In no way can they trust him to give a live address which is appropriate for a military operation.

It was obvious after the last attack and the relatively feeble Iranian response that this was going to happen.

As an aside: as an individual who has been politically conscious since the Six Day War in 1967, I am “amused” that Israel began the operation on the Jewish Sabbath which is a big “fuck you” to those who attacked Israel on Yom Kippur in 1973. The only day holier than Yom Kippur…is every Shabbos. (The Dude abides, nevertheless.)
