  1. Preliminary report courtesy Alfred Lord Tennyson (1854) “Forward, the Light Brigade!” Was there a man dismayed? Not though the soldier knew Someone had blundered.
  2. Sure and the official report on the incident can be labeled: INCONCLUSIVE
  3. U.S. Central Command attacked the school based on long outdated coordinates for the strike provided by another defense agency, one of the officials told The Intercept. While the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school was once connected to the IRGC base by roads, the building was partitioned off by 2016, according to an investigation by New Lines Magazine The attack, which came after a yearlong effort by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to gut programs to reduce civilian casualties, killed more civilians than any other strike in Trump’s second Iran war. It was “colossal negligence,” one of the current government officials said. https://archive.ph/grM1M#selection-727.0-731.22
  4. So everyone is a fool but ME -- Thanks for your attention to this matter: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116196014942465383
  5. Richard Painter, an attorney who served as the chief ethics lawyer in the George W. Bush White House, said the apparent US strike “could be criminal negligence in a war that was illegal to begin with.” https://www.commondreams.org/news/preliminary-findings-iran-school-bombing
  6. As I posted Sunday: The school was located approx. 200-300 meters from the navy installation. A 'precision' airstrike can have a CEP circle accuracy of less than 10 meters. Maybe the Dept. of WAR let their satellite photo subscription lapse https://aseannow.com/topic/1388594-takeaways-from-the-iran-strike/page/15/#comment-20409959
  7. This was from a link in NYtimes story. Ali Larijani is Iran’s top national security official,
  8. Forum Rules 5. In factual areas such as news forums and current affairs topics member content that is claimed or portrayed as a fact should be supported by a link to a relevant reputable source.
  9. And there isn't going to be one for the reasons in the post quoted above.
  10. As you already posted. '"It’s also reasonable to ask whether analysts commenting in a media context are bringing any institutional, political, or professional biases into their interpretation - something that happens in virtually every conflict." And from the above: . They involve pulling together multiple sources, historical context, policy decisions, and strategic analysis. What sources? I think of this kind of post as the word used by Bill O'Reilly in his Fox days: BLOVIATE
  11. Yes all without one independently corroborated fact.
  12. I posted different topic that the Tomahawk has an accuracy within a circle 10 meter radius. The school was about 200 meters from the medical naval facility.
  13. All these "well what abouts" make it sound like everything is the same -- just the numbers are different.
  14. Because Kushner and Witkoff told him to. From ABC News: The president spoke with his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner by phone on Thursday, multiple sources said. In a phone call Saturday, the president told ABC News that talks between the U.S. and Iran had been going "very well." He added, "But in the end, we didn't think they were going to get there. And they would've had in a fairly short period of time some very fairly big nuclear capacity and we were not going to put up with that." The CIA had been tracking Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei for months, tracking his daily movements, a person familiar with the intelligence told ABC News. When they learned there would be a meeting of top leaders on Saturday with the Supreme Leader, the timing of the attack was moved. https://abc7chicago.com/live-updates/iran-live-updates-trump-says-major-combat-operations-have-begun/18660347/entry/18665562
