Remember when Biden got flack because Trump left him a disaster to clean up in Afghanistan?

This is so, so, so much worse.

Are you f***ing kidding me? I am a mid level manager and even I could have told them that Strait of Hormuz is Iran’s strongest geographical and economic weapon. What the hell sort of incompetence are we dealing with here? This is what happens when you appoint TV show hosts to cabinet positions, well done MAGA!!

Help is on the way? Does he mean hell? How does burning them to a crisp help them?

A U.S. Air Force KC-135 refueling aircraft has crashed in western Iraq with a crew of six. No confirmation on their status, but it is highly unlikely they survived.

Adam Kintzinger:

About 15 years ago, someone got promoted suggesting that the parachutes on the KC135 wasted space. They were removed.
Dumb stupid idea then. Could they have saved this crew? Who knows. But would be nice to have the option.

Well this is clearly what Jared Kushner wanted.

The incompetence is just stunning. How can anyone defend this?

As Ron Filipkowski said, “A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas & home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.”

The Iranian people will be free even if we have to hunt down and kill everyone of them.

And we just lost a KC-135 Stratotanker.

The Iranians want a Jewish war criminal for their new regime?

Regime change isn't going to happen. It's a moron's errand (which is clearly why Netanyahu has recruited Trump to the cause...)

Sounds like Netanyahu wants the US to stick around long enough to help them effect regime change in Iran. I can't imagine that Israel can do that on its own. This won't be over any time soon.
