First Sen Murphy brags about leaking information from a classified briefing. Then he claims that we are "not going to be able to achieve any of our stated objectives," ignoring our incredible achievements so far...such as those presented today in National Review by Noah Rothman: "To date, U.S. forces... alone have conducted strikes on at least 5,500 Iranian targets, according to Admiral Brad Cooper, in accordance with the American military’s objective in this war: eliminating Iran’s capacity to “project power” across its borders. America’s operational tempo is accelerating while Iran’s is in retreat. The Iranian ballistic-missile launch rate is down 92 percent from the first day of hostilities. U.S. forces have entombed much of Iran’s stockpiles in their underground “missile cities.” U.S. drones monitor from the skies the cities that it hasn’t hit, striking them only when they observe Iranian activity. In addition, over 60 percent of Iran’s missile launchers have been disabled... "The Iranian navy is off the chessboard. According to Cooper, 60 vessels have been struck, sunk, or rendered useless to the enemy, including all four of Iran’s Soleimani-class warships. At least 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels have been destroyed. Ten of Iran’s 18 air bases have been hit and rendered inoperable. The U.S. maintains, if not air supremacy, superiority in the skies over Iran. The Iranian air force is a non-entity, as are its air defenses. As was the case in Venezuela, Russian and Chinese technology has proven unequal to U.S. capabilities, allowing the U.S. to transition away from the use of exquisite stand-off munitions (long-range missiles launched from a safe distance) toward cheaper, more abundant, precision-guided gravity munitions." Noah goes on with more, which you should read. But I ask Sen Murphy: What do you have against the real achievements of the U.S. military?show more
