Oh, it gets worse.

“What you are doing with ISIS is again being talked about – with armed forces, we’re really winning. We know how to win, but we have to let you win. You weren’t winning before. They were letting you play even. We want to let you win,” Trump said, referencing the Obama administration.

At various times during the conference Trump contrasted his own leadership with that of his predecessor, former President Barack Obama: “They say we’ve made more progress against ISIS than they did in years with the previous administration, and that’s because I’m letting you perform your job.”

Where’d the 4 humped camels come from?

All those desert Bentley’s that have trunk mounted falconry kits are going to updated with mobile nuke launchers soon. The best and most expensive nuke launchers.

Nuclear power my ass.

After years of howling about the Iranian nuclear program, too. The Middle East Cold War is about to get radioactive.

I don’t see how the Israelis would stand for this, though, unless they don’t care, cause they have their own nukes.

According to PRIS, still under construction (it’s supposed to be finished next year).

Not that lobbing missiles at it would do anything to improve things in the area.

Even if they hit, I wouldn’t expect major damage. Reactors are hard targets.

And a modern reactor should shut itself down if compromised rather than melting.

Edit: actually, it’s a half-built reactor.
