Wiping out the buildings - if they even managed that - doesn't destroy the program, especially since Iran must have been warned ahead of time to move the uranium. And wasn't CinC-fink busy at 2 in the morning thanking Iran for sending pre-attack notifications to Qatar? They didn't do it for free.

I'm guessing that everyone is passing notes in class. They have dismissed the precaution that you don't "telegraph the stunt" because apparently, Iran got word that they should move their uranium, and Qatar got word that the U.S. should evacuate their military base. An expensive waste of time.

Who the fuck warns the enemy in advance? It sounds like the U.S. and Middle East had a teatime gossip ahead of time that was full of revelations, so there was no point to the mission other than elbowing Netayahu out of the way so Dozing Donnie could get in on the attention.
astraltraveler.bsky.social (@astraltraveler.bsky.social) reply parent
The point was to make a splash, so Dozing Donnie could brag attention away from Israel. If it's true that we got notice ahead of the base bombing in Qatar, then Iran got notice to move their uranium. If Iran has operatives here in the U.S., then they will hit us unexpectedly and hard in the future.
