Agreed.  I've seen these tested and always wanted to see the impact on an actual target.  It is my opinion that I've seen these tested and always wanted to see the impact on an actual target.  The test targets are made from reinforced US concrete and I wonder if foreign structures are as strong.

 My opinion is that the best part is hearing about the "decoy" B1's the went West while the others went East.  I doubt that, but I could have no way to confirm.  The strike craft moved weeks ago in my opinion.  This post is an opinion.

 

 Trump said they were "weeks away" from having a nuclear weapon, but then again that's Trump so it could mean anything.  Maybe he believes it.

 Weeks away from an actual warhead, or just the components, who knows.  I think more realistically is that they had 60 days and stalled as they usually do, so the US acted in order to create an actual consequence.  

 I'm not a fan of more war, but I'm also not a fan of giving a known hostile regime a deadline then extending it over and over under the guise of "negotiations".  Iran wants to stall, they get bombed.  Stall more, get bombed more.  I can see Trump being ok with that logic.

Let's hope this strike destroyed their ability to make war. And peace follows

this is the first thing he has done that I agree with.

if Iran's' nuclear program is for peaceful purposes why are their facilities buried in bunkers

No one knows for certain if this was the right move. Look how we still argue over the atom bombs on Japan.

It seems like it’s the right move to make. The trick is, of course what comes next. If one of Iran’s random missile launches on Israel hit a major city and kills hundreds, I feel like Israel well retaliate with 100 times the force.

If Iran, launches missiles at an American military base, all bets are off the table.

There’s a lot of Talking Heads on TV this morning but it seems the ones that makes the most sense are the one saying that Iran will attack Israel but not America directly. They’ll likely encourage or even give direct orders to some of the terrorist groups that get their funding from them to attack American targets, even within our borders, That may give a little bit of insulation for them but Trump’s unpredictability has to give them pause to think about that.

If there’s a significant terrorist attack on American soil, that can be directly linked to Iran in response to this particular bombing, I believe Trump will, in the words of Maximus from Gladiator, “unleash hell on them.”

Saddam Hussein had few allies and was seen as a threat by neighboring countries and invaded Kuwait.

That is completely different from the situation with Iran.

 This is true, but I'm not all that concerned of some uprising in the US or Americans being murdered all over the planet because we bombed Iran.  I don't think the leadership there has that level of influence on the planet.  I think if anything most Iranians would prefer a different leadership.

 I heard how Americans will never be able to travel to the Middle East or Europe again after Iraq/Afghanistan operations began and I've seen tons of Americans going to all of those places without issue.  If Iran can activate tons of murders, good for them, but I'm not all that concerned.

 I agree.  Our single best card on the table is Trump's willingness to do just about anything and be convinced he is right.
