That's the closest thing to a confirmation that we're going to get.

You don't need to wait for government functionarys to move their mouths for confirmation.

There are other ways.

I realize that this is an obscure 25 year-old reference, but this story totally reminds me of it...

Just have to hope the SAR team suffers losses, now

Then we can have ourselves a proper ground war.

An A-10 supposedly also went down in Iraq.

Sounds like durring the rescue mission an a-10 was fatally damaged... It limped out of Iran before the pilot bailed and he was rescued.

2 American jets in a day. Oh boy oh boy. Sure your getting your butts kicked all over the field but for a brief moment you can shine. This is your big day jergul!

That is why you just lob missiles from great distances sammy. You and Israel have lost North of 150 ACAVs too incidentally. That airspace is not safe for you.

Also, 14 days past when the US captured Bagdad in 2003. You are not the military you once were.

There is a video out there of a newer Iranian missiles avoiding 12 Israeli interceptors. The good news I suppose is that Israel still has enough interceptors to burn of 12 of them versus a single missile. The bad news of course is that the missile obviously was targetting something pretty important. Too bad about the news embargo from Israel. We are probably missing spectacular scenes.

Lol soviet random number generator in action again.

"past when the US captured Bagdad in 2003"

A pure air campaign didn't take a city? Oh wow. Military genius you are. Amazing discovery. Lol

"There is a video out there of a newer Iranian missiles avoiding 12 Israeli interceptors."

No there isn't.

Lol, I was just discussing the illiteracy of rightwing extremists with an American friend, and how none of them know the difference between you're and your. You can almost always tell they're Maga by that one.

A regime change campaign that did not have a ground component? You lost the war before it began.

The belated surge with ground capacity is numbered in the low 1000nds. Rofl. GG.

You are not the military you were in 2003. Not even close.

Ya we are trying to regime change Iran on the cheap. Might work. Might not.

If it doesn't we smash everything that is military and take karg island and go home. The regime probably won't survive that long term either but at the least we trash everything dangerous.

Win win.

We can't hold Kharg Island, and there'd be no point. If we don't smash it, Iran will with our troops there.

Taking it would just be to force Iran to cough up their highly enriched uranium and reopen the strait. But I'm not sure Trump's poll numbers would survive that kind of operation.
