Let’s do what
I do remember that..I was knee-deep in learning the ins and outs of how to fly a CH-53E and becoming a HAC, not justifying hyperbolic statements from my boss or pretending that I know what 14 x GBU-57's just did in a strike on Iran, over the apparent assessment of the IC. I liked my job at 27 better.
I would have as well. But I’ll bet you boned something minor up back then.

Haha, no doubt. I do recall losing accountability of a desktop monitor as the RO working in the S-4. It was devastating... 😄

At least I was qualified to be in that job and had the requisite qualifications to be the RO...unlike Leavitt.

That entire article is about the possibility that the uranium was moved…I agree and posit that that Mossad is preparing to solve that problem as well. The NYT article implies that a bit of dirt was piled against the tunnel entrances.

That's a lot to hope for, and probably not a viable plan given the amount of material supposedly involved.

While Mossad had some pretty impressive successes Iran was still able to strike back at Israel up until the very end of the conflict.

I don’t disagree entirely, but I imagine the information is either known, or will be discovered soon. How the parties react is, of course, up in the air.

I don’t think there are any qualifications for being a WH spokesperson.

I don’t get the first joke…sorry.

Is there a ODNI/POTUS rift? The information was leaked…I’ve been out a bit but is that how ODNI does Intel now?
Leavitt is married to a man 32 years her senior. DNI Tulsi Gabbard released a campaign-style video a couple weeks ago saying how close to nuclear war we are. Then Trump said "I don't care what she said" about Gabbard's having said before that the intelligence community has concluded Iran is not currently pursuing a nuclear weapon. Then it came out she was being kept out of discussions regarding striking Iran. Then she tweeted recently that her testimony has been taken out of context.
 
I have no doubt that Trump went way overboard with his “totally obliterated” comment (he is Trump after all) but I’m confident that the NYT is either (a) totally lying or (b) have been misled in this story. The reality is somewhere in the middle.

I’m just trying to understand your position. The NYT leans left, but has a high factuality rating in general. Do you think they’re so far left that they’d deliberately lie just to rain on 47’s parade? If they were misled, do you think the “low level scum” who leaked it is the one trying to rain on his parade?

I’m not trolling—but it seems to me the preliminary BDA implied a lot of the equipment was deep enough that it can be dug out and dusted off in a few months. Separately, it seems the 60% enriched uranium likely was moved before the strike.

Karoline Leavitt’s statement seems to indicate the initial assessment assessment exists as reported to me, but I could be wrong.

Are we seeing the same set of facts?
