1. the best computers and teams of generals and statesmen have been gaming this exact situation

for 50 years. who would have ever thought????

one guy who "would have thought" was the emir of qatar. the "pro quo" for the gold plated airplane was "you don't LET this happen."

[spanone]

2. Yes, he's really that ignorant.

[Tetrachloride]

3. how now brown cow

wherefair art thou ?

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Nobody expected...

He means everyone expected that but he dismissed their concerns. What the hell did he think they were going to do?

[liberalla]

19. Exactly!

[tanyev]

5. It's not a reality show where he can say any rando thing and a team will fix it in post production.

Obviously, that’s how his administration functions much of the time, but anything outside the bubble can’t be controlled that way.

[Rob H.]

6. "Nobody expected that."

Shades of "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center" and just as false.

[Skittles]

7. WHEN will enough be enough

this man is a DANGER TO THE WORLD

8. It's the Epstein thing.

It's the Epstein cover up. Krosnov, has to save his behind. Along with all of his pedophile buddy. No matter how many innocent people, have to die.

9. Where have I heard that before? No body expected them to fly airplanes into tall buildings.

Oh yeah. Now I remember.

Been there. Done that.

What are we not expecting now?

[Coolgoober]

10. Might First Thought

Was, HOLY SHIT, This guy should be resigning after saying that. This is the most INCOMPETENT Administration ever. "We were shocked." Are you fucking kidding me??!!? The world is laughing at him.....us

[Buddyzbuddy]

12. If it wasn't so tragic it would be funny. Iran is not cooperating.

They aren't fighting the way the Felon wants or planned on. If they're aren't careful, he's not going to play with them anymore and take all of his army men and toys and go home.
What a buffoon.

[liberalla]

20. Fingers crossed! time to go home -- now!

and then just stay home dumbass!

[lastlib]

13. Shocked because they were STUPID!

Maybe it was just PEDOnald and his circle of loyalists---any general worthy of the rank would've foreseen it.

[liberalla]

21. He doesn't listen to generals... He knows better than the generals

Just ask him -- he'll tell you.

[0rganism]

14. Idiot! "Nobody expected that"? Except every administration for the last 45 years?

Maybe... just maybe, find someone in your cultivated staff of spineless yes-men who would have "expected that", and promote them to a position where you can hear from them from time to time.

Meh, there I go taking F47 at his word again. Assume he's lying. Obviously everyone expected it, especially anyone who's looked at a map of the region. They did it anyway, because they want to project strength and cause distractions. F47 wants his long-term military entanglement so he can claim whatever "wartime president" perks he can find. Headline shift, power grab, look strong, shout out to racists and religious fanatics, kill many children -- pure win from F47's viewpoint.

[BurnDoubt]

15. This IS the guy who stared at an Eclipse...

So I’M not shocked that he was shocked.
Somebody should surely lose their FCC License over this.

[xuplate]

16. Says the 3D chess player.

[blue blues]

17. It was U. S. military bases that were attacked

I would think this is how a war works?
just saying

[70sEraVet]

18. And he didn't expect them to close the Strait of Harmuz...

Here's a hint -- don't take the advice from the guys who are wearing the over-sized shoes!!!
