It's nice that he can't help but say things, basically confirming that after Venezuela they got really high on their own supply and thought they can just do that for every FP problem.

Anyways APS-5 is what? An ABCT and an IBCT? That leaves weaving that special JSOC "magic" and wouldn't it be ironic if things end how the begun.

The constructed this whole thing around air power only for political reasons (to be able to say this is different than Iraq/replicate Venezuela) and now are saying things that makes this completely moot, because things are not working out the way they thought they were.

This not ruling out ground troops is such an unforced error. There are no significant ground forces to use in the theater! It would take at least two to about 6 months to get them there!

In general I find the idea that John Harbaugh will make the Giants magically not the Giants, after he failed at making the Ravens be the Ravens, pretty amusing

Well, the good news is that I have in this presser a new video to roll whenever someone asks why I am screaming at them for basing their political preferences on aesthetics, inspiration, and being good on TV rather than the blandest measures of daily competence

A screenshot of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, with Luke defiantly standing against the Emperor. The 90s-style captions read:
"You've failed, your highness. I'm forklift certified, like my father before me."

I can't speak to the cable networks, because I like most other Americans do not watch any cable news, lol

Can't speak to the on air content, but the written reporting is definitely not rah-rah-rah stuff. Contrary to what you would think reading the posts about it

Assuming this is just PAC 3 MSEs (it probably isn't but it sure is the majority) that's over 1 year's worth of production at current capacity

"Bomb stuff until they give up or we run out of useful targets" is the theory of victory here, and no one has thought about what happens if they don't give up

Hearing Will Buxton even after one full IndyCar seasons till does not sound right. I need the Australian voice of Leigh Diffey to soothe me.

If you look at the approval numbers for this vs Iraq it really seems they haven't, just that this admin is mainly based on wishful thinking.

Hey at least Pate didn't conduct a multi billion merger or completely reoriented corporate strategy on that premise.

It tells you a lot how unpopular and juiceless this admin now is when people like Pate basically pretend their POTUS interviews didn't happen because of the backlash.
