Shocked General Says Pentagon Pete Must Be 'Smoking Something'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A retired general claims leadership at the Pentagon “must be smoking something” because of its Iran hubris.

Retired Brig. Gen. Steve Anderson made the comments live on CNN News Central on Wednesday Morning after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, held a news conference at the Pentagon about the U.S.-dubbed “Operation Epic Fury.”

“And I would say that we’re gonna be in the same situation we were in Iraq. We’re gonna be able to knock out their defensive capabilities, their offensive capabilities, establish air superiority, but they’re gonna go underground. These are tough, resilient people; they’re gonna be able to outlast us.”

He said any suggestion to the contrary is foolish. “And if we think we’re gonna be able to bomb them into submission from the air, somebody’s smoking something,” he declared.

[pansypoo53219]

6. duh. just hope he doesn't say crusade.

[haele]

8. Oh, he will.

White Christian Nationalist.
His "God" is on his side - the God of frustrated, mediocre men who want to destroy the world they're afraid of.

14. And we all know how this ends. When stupid people go off half cocked.

It will end in disaster and a lot of lost blood and treasure. Here's hoping Nuttyyahoo and the band of relig-o-nut zealots supporting him get the very much short end. That's the root of all this and Donnie is too fucking stupid NOT to follow that piper into disaster. Does the "iron dome" have more interceptors than Iran has ballistic missiles and drones? We're about to find out.

And no, American relig-o-nut zealots, Jesus ain't coming to save anyone you fucking morons!

15. Pete has watched far too many hollywood "B" movies

Full of stereotypical Hollywood villains and easy, formulaic Neo-Christian 1950's dogma.
So much so that he cannot possibly parse the complexities and subtle differences found in the real world. He is the very embodiment of Dunning-Kruger with bells on!

[Whyisthisstillclose]

16. Uh-oh. Another retired competent sane veteran is going to be court martialed.

Petey can't stand criticism!

[Attilatheblond]

17. The whole regime is keeping liquor and pharmaceutical industries afloat.

Stone and stupid.

[LudwigPastorius]

18. "...if we think we're gonna be able to bomb them into submission..."

Is that the goal?

Is there even a goal to this war, other than "let's bomb the shit out of them and see if something good happens to come out of it"?

Iran has been planning for this for years. They will wage a war of attrition, and ultimately bring down the world economy as a way to end this.

[BigmanPigman]

19. Nope, just the opposite!

If he truly was "smoking something" such as pot he would be a more chilled guy. Maybe he is smoking crack instead. Now THAT would cause a loser to become an even bigger psycho.

[Aristus]

20. Or drinking everything...

[ShepKat]

21. sure as hell ain't weed

crack, bathtub crank... or somethin'.
Maybe some of that stuff the bad guy in wonder woman sniffed up his nose
