This is such a revealing clip. The American media is full of the least curious, least insightful people in our country.
To recap, an out of context, "low confidence" and incomplete intelligence report was selectively leaked to the media. The media reported on the findings without any real effort to figure out whether they represent any part of (much less the full) truth. The way the media has presented the report is contradicted by the IAEA, the Iranians themselves, and the administration's political and defense leadership. More importantly, the media's reports are contradicted by common sense.
To summarize: a dozen 30,000-pound bunker busters were dropped on Iran's main nuclear site. (The other two sites that were targeted suffered heavy damage too). No one disputes they hit their targets. No one disputes the explosive or destructive power of the weapons. No one disputes that a week ago, Iran could have easily assembled a nuclear weapon and now they can't.
The entire debate--even accepting the press's dishonest framing--is not about whether Iran can now build a nuke. They can't. It's about how much rebuilding the Iranians would have to do in order to achieve a nuclear weapon. In other words, after a wildly successful military operation with no American casualties, the American media is trying to blame Donald Trump for the existence of facilities that haven't even been built yet.
(Set to the side Iran's willingness to rebuild their program. As the President himself said, they now know there are serious consequences for rebuilding. They also learned that we can very easily set their progress back.)
There is actually an interesting story here, if the media was interested in telling it. Why are members of the intelligence community leaking incomplete reports against the elected leadership of the country? Why have the same reporters who have gotten so much wrong learned so little? What is the purpose of these leaks--who is behind them, and what are they trying to achieve?
The media won't investigate that story, though it would be in the public interest to do so. So pay attention to the reporters who are laundering talking points from junior careerists in the intelligence community.
President Trump has obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. The American media seems destined to obliterate their own credibility on this fake story.

Idiots like @AOG would rather be first than right. Clinging to any morsel of hope that the US bombing of terrorist Iran's nuke dreams failed.
These people actually want wars over Trump being successful in this mission and also negotiating a ceasefire.
You cannot reason with people who are this far gone, including almost every TugTard who has posted a comment.
Idiot? According to sledog I have a PhD, hence my icon. Anyway, if you vote for Trump once it proves you're an idiot. Two times, a complete and total idiot. And three times it means you probably have only a couple of working neurons left.
Fry cook has thoughts
Once again AOG is incapable in explaining why he voted for an actual neuron deficient dementia patient and then a neuron deficient DEI candidate because reasons …
The gay that voted for Obama, Hillary, Biden and Harris mumbled something about Trump
Too many words
Too small a brain
Intelligent people got it
You need to get to the point….quicker.
Shit if I need to sleep a little better I might start reading your posts from now on.
But seriously, the irony of a department head complaining about his subordinates leaking info when he himself doesn’t take securing information seriously.
Yeah that's the take away
If you're retarded
Bucks been busy and away during Pride month.
Explain the flaw in my argument.
It is self evident
You're a retard
No rebuttal only personal attacks, that’s what I thought!!!
I destroyed your argument already
Intelligent people got it
Back to your cubicle boy
