Give me a break....

What do you want broken?

My belief is that Kharg island would be a bad target for an amphibious attack. I have explained why. It is too close to potential sources for a counterattack and too hard to resupply.

There are also too many civilian workers there. That greatly complicates the logistics of military supply.

Some of the risk problems can be solved. Maybe they are already solved. I can only use open-source information and there is a lot of deliberate noise in all of it. If you have better information, I have ears to hear it.

Maybe there are other, better targets with less risk available.

The central problem we are dealing with is a treasonous press and a great many people in Congress who do not want an American victory. They will exploit any military setback to turn public sentiment against the war. It is important that we do not give them any such thing by over-extending US forces.

If you have substantial opinions, by all means, post them.
