“Iran is a nation of GREAT POWER. Tremendous power. No one expected them to attack the Gulf states. We were shocked!”

-- Donald Trump, President of the United States

We were shocked.

Shocked.

Yeah. Listen: Iran has repeatedly said that if attacked, they would draw every other nation in the Gulf into the war. They've been saying this for 50 years. Literally, 50 years.

I was a war planner. And I have some extensive experience in this part of the world. The most basic OPLAN for war with Iran begins with the assumption they would attack the Gulf States and close the Strait of Hormuz.

So, as a US military commander, you would have to DELIBERATELY ignore decades of intelligence, analysis, and planning in order to be even mildly surprised at this turn of events, let alone "shocked." It's simply NOT possible that Iran's continuing strikes on its neighbors in response to US and Israeli attacks was a surprise to anyone but Trump.

But that's what happens when you fire all the experts and listen to the toadies who only tell you what you want to hear.
