New U.S. assessment finds American strikes destroyed only one of three Iranian nuclear sites

1. That was obvious the second that they all started grabbing the thesaurus and settled on "obliterated"...

These are not eriudite people in the Trump orbit. They are what he calls everyone else - stupid people. None of the boot licking sycophants are intelligent, just craven. When the verbiage was chosen (and I am betting on Stephen Miller here - it reeks of his style of bombast and idiocy more than the others), and then circulated to the 'team' for constant parrotting, it was OBVIOUS that we had botched the whole thing.

What? You might say... No way! You might think....
Yes, way. The truth is that Americans and their government have ALWAYS overestimated the capability of our weapons and the reliability of the ordinance in field usage. Has been true since Vietnam and really still is.

How were we bogged down in Vietnam for nearly a decade? Why were we losing men to IEDs and stuck in Iraq and Afghanistan for 15+ years? We blew shit up in both places anywhere we could drop bombs, and yet we never "completely obiliterated" anything.

The cold truth is this - unless you invoke the nuclear weapons option, you are never going to "totally oblietate" anything.
