…its credibility on promises to do just that, this is a threshold that Iran’s significant nd growing littoral warfare capabilities can cross, even with fairly conservative assumptions about Iranian capabilities” And remember this was written in the pre-drone warfare era. Yikes
This is a valuable read as it is so prescient. The section that stands out for me was this observation (in 2008!) “The question is whether Iran can harass shipping enough to prompt U.S. in-

Thank you for sharing this. It is so prescient that I want to @ you with so many quotes from it. The one that stands out for me “The question is whether Iran can harass shipping enough to prompt U.S. intervention in defense of the sea-lanes. Given that the United States has staked its…

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us
RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war
REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war
MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.
We’ve gone from Jerry to George in one season
KENNEDY: What got my attention was you blamed your 'domestic terrorist' comments on Stephen Miller
NOEM: No
K: Here's what you said. 'Everything I've done I've done at the direction of the president & Stephen'
N: Where?
K: Did I read your words accurately?
N: I enjoy working w/POTUS & Stephen
