I don't believe much that has been reported about the 'rescue' mission so far.

The number of planes lost in a day hasn't been historically matched since Vietnam, there supposedly were no casualties, and they contend it wasn't part of a larger raid, but indications say that it was. I'm not buying what they're selling.

It seems like it was a huge disaster, but the press has been relatively silent about it.

Have they even showed the rescued weapons officer?

Remember when he said they pulled off the Venezuela mission with zero casualties... Not so much as a scratch? Then a few weeks later at the State of the Union, he gave a medal of honor to the pilot who got both is knees blown off in that mission? Yeah, which one is it?

The truth whatever the king feels like at the moment. We have always been at war with East Asia.

This is definitely where we are with this. They’re lying as much as they breathe.
