They aren’t fast, but the ocean is big, and the blockade does not control all of it.
If the blockade is really intended to shut off their access to oil revenue, then it doesn’t make sense to let those tankers through. Can’t have it both ways.
We already won, we got Ahmadinejad
Case closed
So much winning

Law,
I know you want this Operation Epic Fury nonsense to be a major win for the Navy, given you are a Navy veteran. I get it.
However, it’s not a win. In fact, it’s a catastrophic failure. Even you, Law, are not obligated to defend this abysmal operation.
There is no “give it more time.” There is no “wait and see what happens.” There is no “but it took so and so 8 years.”
Of all people, I would think you at least have the capacity to understand the failures and miscalculations of this operation better than anyone else.
HUH???
I’m an ARMY Veteran (Retired Lieutenant Colonel).
GET IT RIGHT!!!
And no, the success or failure of any war isn’t determined until it’s over.
And as I said before…it ain’t over 'til it’s over.

He could have exited after we got bin ladin. We did nothing after that.

ISIS was already beginning to form by the time OBL was killed.
In fact, the withdrawal of troops in 2011 from Iraq led to the vacuum that created Isis.
But isis itself was largely the result of GWB
Man, if that’s true, that’s a huge shift by the Saudis.

So, we started a skirmish with Iran, though they posed no imminent nuclear threat and weren’t trying to restrict traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, which inflicted economic pain on the world and killed people in Iran, some of whom were bad, some of whom were students, but weren’t harming us directly.
Winning!!

I’m sure the Gaslight Gang will be all over this as another stroke of brilliance instead of just acknowledging the obvious sh!tshow.
If we stay at it long enough, the US will lose access to all of its important regional bases. Leaving Germany is a great start for Russia, and being barred from using SA is pretty impressive, too.

The reason we didn’t get OBL is we got distracted, and only sent a few thousand troops in. Shouldn’t have been a surprise that he slipped through.
This has nothing to do with a Iraq or Iran though.

Makes sense. Iran’s response was to start attacking random neighbors again.

But it’s not random these are countries that facilitate the US military. Random would be if say they hit a random country in Africa or something like that.
Saudi, UAE, Oman, etc. that’s not the definition of random

Sure Bro.
As if we could have supported large numbers of troops in the ground logistically in Afghanistan at that point.
You really do accept every Demcompoop narrative uncritically don’t you?
Let me ask you this.
Did the war end with OBL’s demise, or did it continue for several more years and many more casualties under you know who without criticism of you know who on your part?
Hint: YEP!!!
All right then.
