About the line of trucks that were photographed, leaving the Iranian nuke sites......

Looked like about 50 trucks, all getting out of Dodge. Maybe they were carrying a birthday cake for the Ayatollah. But I doubt it.

So why weren't they taken out?

Possible answers: It wasn't part of the original plans and too late to dispatch missiles, drones or whatever.

Bombing it, might spread nuclear contamination over an area, wider than the road the trucks were on.

Let 'em go. Then see where they go to. That'll be the next site to bomb.


Your idea?

it was no secret that the USA blasted that bombers and ships were headed their way. Put 2 and 2 together, Iran got advance notice and were able to move stuff from the 3 locations.

They could have arrived under the cover of night, loaded up all night and day. Then took off at nightfall so no one know where it's all at now.

Whether it was MIHOP or LIHOP doesn't matter. Going forward Iran can make the claim that it has no enriched material in its possession. They are able to make the claim that they simply don't know what happened to it, maybe it was buried in the rubble, maybe a rogue driver disappeared with it, maybe some foreign agents planned a successful heist. Whatever. The world can come in and look, of course they will have to clear the debris at the bombed sites if that's what they want to do.
It's just another epic failure of this administration, losing track of what had been accounted for for years.

Hammurabi must have had some help early on, but as always we little people didn't do anything. He did it all by himself. All these self-made titans all the time. Unless it's something bad. Like in today's executive branch. All those incompetent fools nodding and grinning and making Trump look stupid. Oh wait.
