Interestingly, I found this in a story from 2017:
"Sessions, as chair of the House Rules Committee, stalled a bill imposing additional sanctions against Russia and Iran from moving to the floor, saying that some parts of the bill, which passed the Senate on a 98–2 vote, could create 'huge problems to companies in Dallas, Texas, that I represent' and place them at a competitive disadvantage."
Why is he opening is mouth before it happens.
He is endangering our troops.
Well, it was kind of ‘obvious’. Who knows for sure but seems like a good guess from anyone watching things unfold. Wrong for a senior House member to say anything.
If troops take the Island, they will also secure land and sea bridges and I hope they have plenty of anti-drone and anti-mortar protection. Apache choppers can shoot down drones. The Iranians are probably crazy enough to attack their own oil storage facilities.
Sessions is a wing nut.
This is a war of ascendancy, whether we will suffer from an evolutionary World Wide Caliphate or whether the path of Freedom , free trade, freedom of the seas will continue to be.
As tio my bet. Sure its Karg Island, and we will destroy eery launch site that fores on it.
But also a twofer. The North Shore of The Straights of Hormuz is about to become American property, with a large base built there.
wouldn’t they be sitting ducks?
Sessions is not in the decision making loop. What he is saying is what anybody would think when they heard that the US had just bombed the military infrastructure of Kharg Island and that 2500 troops were headed to gulf and that Kharg Island handles 90 percent of Iran’s oil exports.
Is obvious to anyone and everyone around the world who cares to look.
Needless to say—its a check mate move on the Iranians.
The IRGC would not be above burning the island to ground or blowing it up. If it goes, it would take up to three years to make enough repairs to use the island again.
I wish the use of “boots on the ground” would stop.
There are men who wear those boots. Nobody gives a damn about the boots - but we had better be focused in the men who wear them.
Take Kharg island, lease it back to the Iranians, and leave.
I hope you Libertarian TDS tards give heavily to Free Republic because you’ve chased away a lot of Patriots.
One man can provide “boots on the ground.”
Would not surprise me as we have 5,000 marines headed that way. Kharg Island isn’t technically boots on the ground but the Commiecrats and MSM will lose their minds. Maybe Tucker will jump out of his basement window.
“Sessions is a loudmouthed idiot. “
Indeed.
Kargh approx 2 miles by 4 miles.
On any given day it has up to 30 million barrels of crude on it...120 million gallons.
If Iran wanted to it could light it. It would make Saddam’s pyrotechnic display look amateur.
NOBODY wants to be on that island if it gets lit. Least of all our US Marines.
Is it a war yet?
