President Trump caught the world off-guard Saturday by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites — after his apparently strategic deception indicating that such strikes weren’t imminent and trickery with the deployment of US Air Force B-2 bombers.
Trump said Thursday he would make a decision in the “next two weeks” to allow more time for negotiations, giving the sense of reprieve amid fevered speculation he might join Israel’s airstrikes.
“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,”

I never liked advertising to the world what our intentions were regarding military actions. This is the way to do it: just do it!

#2, especially when the media thinks they are the authors of power and truth.

He gave them 60 days. Struck on the 61st. Then he gave them two weeks. Struck on the 15th. Still they don’t believe him. FAFO.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Trump's bombs did not start this war...the Iranians started it when their proxies,
- the Houthis, years ago, began firing Iranian missiles at American ships, both naval and civilian
- Hamas, funded and equipped by Iran, continued their genocidal and murderous attacks on Israeli civilians
- Hezbollah, funded and equipped by Iran, continued their genocidal and murderous attacks on Israeli civilians.

Finally, an administration that knows how to prosecute a war. Media left flummoxed.

Don't ya just love our president?.. he's so smooth...he carried out a fake move and caught Iran of it's guard....he eliminated the nuclear threat that hovered over Israel in one mission....kaboom and the threat was gone...now I suppose the fake news will carry the narrative that America didn't get it all...so you better watch out...well folks...my President Trump said his hit was absolutely perfect and the Iranians don't have any nuclear sites up and operating.....well done!!

I listened to a lot of hand-wringers, including some on the right, saying Trump was manipulated by Israel into bombing Iran. But listen to Hegseth's presser this morning. Trump has been carefully planning this for months. As always, he has tried to reach resolution through peace, but he had a plan in place if that failed. He always has a plan BEFORE he begins any negotiations. He has said for 10 years that Iran could not have nuclear weapons and, unlike his predecessors, he meant it. Trump wasn't manipulated into bombing Iran. He knew the proper time had presented itself, and he took it. He is a brilliant strategist.

Has Joe Biden given his comprehensive analysis of Trump’s actions against Iran as Commander in Chief?

#12 Yes, he hops on Amtrak every day and goes somewhere. I saw a picture just a couple of days ago. He still looks like the lights are on but no one is home.

Send half the B-2s to Guam for a vacation, and then the real strike package heads to the east. It would be interesting to know what route they took. Over the ocean the whole way ...Gibralter, down the Med and coast in over Israel, or coast in in the middle of the Sahara and join up with the USN assets out over the Arabian Sea or....??

To ChuckU and Hakeem who “oppose” the President’s actions, you mean you oppose saving the lives of millions of human beings who would have been incinerated by an Iranian nuclear bomb? Then you both need to be thrown out of Washington DC never to return.

Been a long time since America has fought to win. Trump was smart enough not to tell the Dems, the RINOs, the MSM, or the lawyers. Notice how quiet all his political enemies are this morning.

Airtight security with a bodyguard of lies to keep the World off balance.
That's how you play the cards close to your vest.
