Rush Limbaugh had the original audio of this on the radio with "Bomb Iraq." Just the other day I was thinking it should be revived and someone did!

Nothing about this is like the Gulf War. Iran as a nation state has already hit back harder than Iraq did. Iran is an actual country, with 4x the population and 6x the land mass of Iraq. It's not just lines on a map drawn up by the British in the 1900s.

So if this fails to effect "regime change", what next?

we should probably give it at least 48 hours before declaring failure...

---

If we're going to war, we probably should think it out a little beyond 48 hours.

---

Not to worry. It is in fact a 96-hour plan.

---

Well, we will see. Venezuela may have given Donald a false sense of security. We will see what the follow up moves are. Not Donald's strength. Hope someone thought this out beyond the sound bites. What are the mission objectives? When do they know what success is or isn't? Not hearing much on that.

Not criticism, just discussion now that the initial stage is over.

---

initial stage is not over - 3 days was - more or less - the initial phase.

- UF

this has been war gamed and planned out for a loooong time.

---

ok, let me re-phrase. I keep forgetting this Board can require very exact wording from select people. So...

To be exact. Initial contact. Initial contact is over, we made our moves. Iran has now started their moves and will be reaching a re-load point, what adjustments are made? EVERY plan does not go as planned, it is the nature of conflict. Not a value judgement, what has DoD have planned?

---

ISR knows where everything / everyone is.

so, starting w/ that.....

- UF

and basically no Iranian air defenses, and the ability to drop a precision missile down a chimney stack....

D!

---

Come on, it is a live war versus a live opponent. It does not go according to a script. Humans are not logical and Religious zealots are even less so.

They are firing missiles. Even the best ADA is not fool proof. What is in the warheads? Where are they aiming?

They hit Dubai and UAE because those populations are not used to war, like Israel. That was a curve ball. How do we react? When politics starts?

They lobbed a few ballistic missiles at the Lincoln. That was a curve. They didn't get close according to CENTCOM, but now you have to work that in. Maybe target lists change? Maybe we have to sent in small groups to take those sites we can't reach with airpower in the mountains.

It gets complicated and it does not mean it is bad or mistake. There are several on here with a lot of real world experience, their inputs on next steps and evaluations are interesting. Some in military, some in law, some in policy, some in intel. If everything has to be cheerleading, no real discussion happens. I for one would love to hear it.

---

This just feels like the scene of Ace Ventura talking out of his ass cheeks.

---

Would like to discuss like a rational adult. But, we can't have that. I have family stationed at Doha and another on the way both in AF. So, yeah I have a bit of an interest and hearing "all is well" and if you ask a question or discuss it is talking out of your butt cheeks doesn't really get it done.

It is a bit ironic. Maybe you should look in a mirror some time. This **** impacts people's lives and it is not just a debate to win.

It amazes me of the number of sudden experts when it comes to war fighting and military strategy. When I know none of you have ever planned and executed a Order of Battle war plan (or even know what that means). Much less took the oath, served and wore the uniform.

However, there are many on this board who have. Some have been wounded in battle, and other alums paid the supreme sacrifice.

This group can't even say "Thank You", or that the air raids were incredibly well planned and executed.

And to anyone that's actually supporting the Islamic State of Iran - you can take your civilian, woke ass home.

Anything that is not of Christ, and leads men astray, is the work of Satan. I think the vast majority of Christians understand that (or should).

---

Are you trying to tell me that Jews worship Satan?

---

Depends on what you mean by devil worshippers. Has Satan led them astray to the point that they are worshipping something other than God? Indeed. Is that Satanic? Yes, it is.

Demonic forces are at work in this world, leading men astray. We know this from the NT.

Tell me, do you believe that Jews and Muslims are worshipping the same God as Christians? If no, what is it they are worshipping?

https://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/PRESS-RELEASES/Press-Release-View/Article/4418568/three-us-f-15s-involved-in-friendly-fire-incident-in-kuwait-pilots-safe/

Glad the pilots are safe, but the past decade or so has made it quite clear that .gov will lie to advance a narrative. Whether it is Bondi/Patel/Bongino lying about Epstein, the previous administration lying about 2020 and Covid, or the Army trying to cover up Pat Tillman's friendly fire death as well as numerous other things I do wonder if this actually was friendly fire.

Centcom has every incentive to call this friendly fire if the Iranians - particularly if Iranian pilots - were responsible.

Yes every faith has the good and the bad. The difference with Christianity is that the bad Christian's are violating the commandments of God while bad Muslims are obeying the commands of Muhammad. Strictly speaking, Muslims don't worship Muhammad as a god but they treat him like one to the point of attacking and killing people who say certain things about him (i.e. that he was a pedophile even though he married a young child) or publishes a cartoon image of him. It is about the deeds as much as the words.

Christianity is distinct from all other religions. Only Christianity preaches love, toleration, charity for all, and genuine compassion (not the fake variety that's so common these days). Other faiths have a strong emphasis on hatred of others and are generally selective in their compassion and charity. This is most obvious with Islam since its history is soaked in the blood of innocents.

Hindus aren't bad and are actually discouraged to convert someone to their faith. As a faith it is compatible with a peaceful world. Islam, not so much.

Tell me, do you believe that Jews and Muslims are worshipping the same God as Christians? If no, what is it they are worshipping?

---

Yes.

---

And since you believe that Muslims and Jews likewise worship the triune God of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, do you believe they are saved?

---

I didn't say that, and you didn't answer my question.

---

I asked you whether Jews and Muslims worship the same God as Christians, and your response was "Yes."

That being the case, what God do you believe Christians worship? I am not Catholic, but it's my understanding that even the Catholics believe (or purport to believe) in a triune God. Is that not what you believe?

As for the Jews and Muslims, they aren't worshipping God at all. There is only one God, and it is the triune God of the NT. If you don't believe in that God, then you are worshipping something else entirely. What it is, I am not sure. Maybe just a figment of their imagination. But whatever it is, it is indeed of the devil.

---

Jews, Muslims, and Christians worship the God of Abraham, but only Christians understand his triune nature.

I'm still curious what you think is the Good News and why Catholics don't believe it.

---

No, it's not God's nature Jews and Muslims get wrong, but God himself. They don't worship the true God of the universe.

As for Catholics, they don't believe salvation is a free gift, but instead they believe in a works-based faith. I've encountered Catholics who I believe are Christian, and although misguided on some issues, get the important points right. You are not one of them, based on many of your comments on this board, as well as the issues you support.

Thank you for your service!
I think we can all appreciate the amazing success of this operation in the first 24 hours while also having concerns about how long it will last and what the ramifications will be long term. Naturally, not everyone will have that perspective.
