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?

(2,368 posts)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.

Finally Schrodinger's cat is sitting there, with radioactive material and poison! Someone's head will roll for this one.

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.
