Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu has spent the last several months strutting around like a peacock with a megaphone, insisting Iran’s missile program was toast for years. Meanwhile, Pete Kegsbreath, who is never one to let a good exaggeration go to waste, said the US had definitely, most certainly and almost assuredly set Iran’s missile machinations back for decades. Decades! Which is a hell of a long time, especially when US intelligence was already quietly muttering to itself ‘It’ll months if we’re lucky’.

They at least had some semblance of contact with reality it seems, because by that point Iranian bulldozers and dump trucks were already clearing access to the underground missile sites, undoing a lot of the damage far sooner than not only Whiskey Pete was musing, but also in the Israeli military as well.

It has left Benjamin Netanyah ...
