Reporter Corners Trump on What's Left to Bomb If He 'Totally Obliterated' Iran's Nuclear Sites

In a Friday appearance before reporters from the tarmac at Fort Bragg, President Donald Trump was questioned on what's left to bomb in Iran if he truly "totally obliterated" the country's nuclear sites as he's previously claimed.

The off-camera reporter cited Trump's speech after last June's military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, in which he deemed the bombings a "spectacular" success that had "completely and totally obliterated" their targets. "What's left to go after?" questioned the reporter.

"Well, you could get whatever the dust is down there," responded Trump. "That's really the least of the mission. If we do it, that would be the least of the mission. But we'd, you know, probably grab whatever's left," before adding that Iran "has been obliterated, as you know."

Last week, Trump spoke with NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas, insisting that the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, "should be very worried" about U.S. threats of force. According to a Friday report from The New York Times, when Trump threatened military action on Iran last month, "the Pentagon was in a poor position to back him up."

Remember Heritage is old school. Old school says that war is to rape and pillage the defeated country. Take their treasury back home to fill the conquerors vaults.

It said that if a person in Massachusetts were found guilty of witchcraft, for the first offense, he/she would burned to death.

Which leads me to the next question: What did they do to you if you did it again?

Or perhaps don't shut the fuck up. You're just digging yourself deeper every time your dementia brain connects with your yap.
