Here is what our military objective should have been. Decapitate the leadership of Iran, extinguish their ability to aggressively react to an attack with offensive weapons systems, eliminate their ability to neutralize the Strait of Hormuz, eliminate their ability to threaten regional governments with reprisal attacks aimed at thwarting resistance to their regime’s control of the region.
Massive aerial bombardment of ALL infrastructure targets, a carpet bombing campaign of every asset the Iranian government possessed, and continual damage to all vital components of a structural economy until the nation of Iran capitulated, unequivocally, to the demands that they were no longer a threat to even the Snail darter.
Our military should never be contained. If we are engaged in enemy warfare, it should be without limitations. Iran should be nothing but kitty litter by now…we don’t wait on the so-called internal element to make their move…we create the move by obliterating the enemy and removing them from the battle entirely! We need to eliminate the Mullahs from the equation. Iran needs to cease to exist as a Muslim country. In fact, any nation that wishes to remove entire races from the planet should be irradicated from the face of our planet. Kill every fanatical religious zealot who supports religious violence! Zionists, Muslim, Christian Identity, and any other religious group who adheres to the eradication of others based on religious beliefs.
