It's hard to be friends with someone who juts their foots into your face while you try to sleep.

They waited a full week to do this?!

Well, that's one way to make sure they get to the good stuff at Fordow.
comment in response to post
Nothing is "right there" in Fordo, it's a deep network of tunnels and caves, burrowing laterally for hundreds of meters, reaching almost 800m deep. A handful of bombs isn't going to be enough to destroy the stockpile, at best it would bury it, which is easy enough to dig out later.

What a stupid thing to say. Comparing the destruction of centrifuges to a reactor meltdown is beyond disingenuous.
comment in response to post
That's fine, as long as you know where to drop them. On Natanz, absolutely, let's make sure those centrifuges never spin again. But Fordow is too deep for even the GBU-57 to reach, they would do some damage but not reach the most sensitive areas. And neither helps locate the missing enriched U235

Obviously they aren't doing a great job of things, or they wouldn't have lost the ONE THING they are supposed to be monitoring. But admitting to such a huge fuck-up makes me believe them in this case that they did in fact fuck up and failed to track the movement.
comment in response to post
All they need to do is a dig a hole somewhere and drop it in to retrieve later, much easier to hide than to find.
comment in response to post
The IAEA already admitted earlier this week that they have lost track of the 400kg of 60% U-235, that it isn't where it was or where it's supposed to be, and they have no idea where it went or where it might be now.
comment in response to post
I wouldn't be so sure. Uranium is extremely dense (like lead), and 400 kg of it doesn't take up much space at all, hence easily smuggled and hidden.

At least they stopped with the shoes and didn't enact a similar requirement after the incident with the underpants bomb.

quick question: is the air supposed to be the consistency of a Slurpee?

It's about 1 km from the hospital, and these missiles supposedly are accurate to <100m.

I don't envy the driver of that monstrosity, that's gotta be a tight squeeze.

At best they were aiming for the university across the street

I thought there was a ceasefire with Lebanon
comment in response to post
I know that we have a different type of system over here, but the lack of a real Pikud Haoref (Homefront Command) seems like a hole that DHS+FEMA doesn't really fill.
comment in response to post
The one thing that made sense was moving the secret service from the Treasury Dept which was a historical holdover, but otherwise the real issue was the lack of coordination between the 27 different intelligence agencies, which the DHS never fixed.

Wow, I forgot about the TSA, what an absolute fiasco that one was.

Iran (the gov't not the people) is very bad and generally up to no good, with a very wide reach far beyond their corner of the world. But that doesn't necessarily mean that bombs are the right move to contain or deter them, except as the last possible resort.

And meanwhile as noted earlier all of the enriched U-235 is missing and hidden. As a result, this whole war will only set Iran back a few months. Whereas the much maligned Obama-Kerry agreement would have provided another 5 years to work out a permanent solution, until trump ripped it up.

I'm afraid to even look up what this means

Let's not get too cocky, all it takes is for one of them to get through and land in the wrong place for there to be a horrific mass casualty event.

that's 10x as many as any other source has reported, did you mean to write 400?
