    B O R I N G!

    Leaking a report by an unnamed source without actually publishing the report is typical democratic spin tactics. Democrats like to take junk for a spin.

    The way it works is you leak to CNN and then to the NYT and then all of the other lamestream media forms the circular firing squad. Hey, it has worked in the past. Hunter Biden's laptop is a perfect example. Unfortunately, the majority is on to this type of fake news reporting. It no wonder why the American people don't like or trust the lamestream media.

    I'm not saying some type of low-level general report doesn't exist. I am saying low level paper pushers don't have all the facts that their superiors have. If this is important and a report has in fact been leaked, produce the full text of the report.

    Insofar as firing squads are concerned, I expect anyone involved with the leaking and misrepresenting of what should be a classified report to be identified and fired immediately.

    EDIT - Found this from midday on Tuesday:

    So is it your assertion inflation would have been materially less under Trump?

    So you are part of the problem you complained about in your post. Biden was not competent.

    With so many self-proclaimed "experts" posting on the www and the profoundly biased mainstream media only interested in being the first to break a story (with no concern for the accuracy thereof since they can modify or retract such reports at a later date) who really believes anything being reported regarding the extent of damage from the US B-2 bombing mission?

    You want them to actually publish copies of the classified report? Good attempt to deal with cognitive dissonance though.

    Whether it becomes public or not, we cannot afford to be wrong here (i.e a mushroom cloud over Israel or US territory).

    The Russia Collusion Hoax is the biggest example of all time followed by the J6 Hoax.

    Leaked the damn thing, have the balls to publish it. The lamestream media is disgraceful.

    The leakers fall into another level being in the federal government, R E S I S T E N C E, used before. I'm surprised the part of the democratic playbook that requires an anonymous letter wasn't promoted too.

    Notice that the Trump folks aren't actually calling for this. They probably learned from the Goldberg incident. Of course, then the journalist was "disgraceful" for publishing the receipts.

    I am sorry that an initial analysis of the Iranian attack didn't turn out how you wanted it to turn out and that you are having very big feelings about it.

    Until there is more information, the report is garbage.

    I saw a report out of Israel yesterday that said this report was tagged with "confidence low."

    What say you about what the IAEA official said yesterday which I added on as an edit? At least the IAEA has been on the ground in Iran.

    Not for nothing, but doesn’t this Administration already have history of being reckless over security information? Isn’t it entirely possible, indeed plausible, that the confidential information was recklessly maintained? #Textgroup

    Here is the only IAEA report on the incident that I could find. At Fordow, they assessed damage to the entrance and the access roads, which appears consistent with the report. At Natanz, they assessed strikes above the underground facility. No further claims were made.

    I think this is highly overplayed. What would the benefit be of detonating (by whatever means) a nuke in Israel, especially when you consider the No. 1 goal of the Iranian regime is to maintain their status as the Iranian regime? So, I guess they could develop one or two warheads in secret, but then what? And spare me the religious angle. The only God creeps like that pray to is their own inflated egos.

    Addressed in post #141, but here is the link to what the IAEA had to say on Fox News yesterday. It is both a story and a video:

    It's all about "the feels" with MAGA. Always has been. That false bravado? Just that, false bravado.

    My guess is not necessarily that they would nuke Israel (who they need as an enemy to point the finger at for all that goes wrong). The big fear I have is that they hand a nuke over to their proxies, who use it as the ultimate terror weapon. Think Tom Clancy’s book, The Sum of All Fears.

    So you need reports filtered through 2 media sources that you prefer rather than direct from sources? Interesting.

    Regardless, nothing in that quote contradicts the report. He even claims that he doesn't know whether it was years.

    That would be consistent with a report assessing months of delays.
