And I think we were ready for this, at least to take out the air defenses, the industrial complex, ballistic missile program.

I think this is all part of a well-crafted plan.
And everything doesn't always go, you know, the way you want it.
But I think overall, this has been a resounding success, at least from a Pentagon's perspective.
