Aftermath...

 

What does the aftermath look like? This is far from over.

As Americans, we all have reasons to be proud today. The feat, the unbelievable feat which was performed by our Armed Forces this past weekend, was something which could have been taken out of a Tom Clancy book. As good as this mission was, as flawless as it was, some questions remain. Like - the aftermath. What is that going to look like? And are we out of the woods as yet?

Heard something on the news this morning which gave me pause. The IAEA believes that Iran still has enough enriched uranium to build up to 30 nuclear bombs. Wait - what? How can that be? We destroyed the centrifuges! Unleashed our finest bunker busters to ensure the job was done right. True - but the IAEA believes that Iran still had enough enriched uranium at 60% enrichment, to make up to 30 bombs. And the path between 60% to 90% (finished product) is not a hard path at all. All that was taken out and hidden elsewhere before the bombing started. That is issue number one.

The next issue is what Iran will try and do to us for punishment because of last weekend's bombing. Not to get too political, but with Joe and Kamala leaving our borders open for four years, how many Iranian terrorists could have gained entry to our country. Became "sleeper cells". Could we have some Iranian "sleeper cells" be activated, and then hit some of the many soft targets we have in our country? Innocent blood spilled? Worries, worries and more worries. That is issue number two.

Iran still has hundreds, maybe thousands of very short-range rockets at their disposal. Rockets not stout enough to hit Israel, but very adequate to hit some of our bases in the Middle East. If they shoot a wave of these missiles at one of our bases, can our THAAD or Patriot defense systems handle them? Or will the saturation be too much for them to handle. We have warned Iran to do this would be a suicide plunge for them. But the old guy running the place (The Supreme Leader), does not seem to care how many of his people might die in our response to an attack. That is issue number three.

Issue number four. The Straits of Hormuz. To punish us (as well as much of the world), Iran is threatening to close it down. Maybe mine it. Why in the world would Iran do such a dastardly thing. Because they are Iran. They don't care. All they want out of life is to destroy Israel, and then us. Why? We are antithetical to way they think. They way they believe. We believe in life, liberty and God. They don't. Inflicting pain and lots of it, gives them joy. Closing the Straits will give them great joy.

What does the aftermath look like? This is far from over. Issue number one, with all that uranium almost ready to make bombs with, is more than concerning. What do I see coming? Please don't hang up on me now, but this is my fear. Boots on the ground. Why? We need to get to that uranium, and ensure they get NO MORE. Otherwise, everything which has happened so far, would have been in vain.
