Vance (12:13 pm ET): Praying for a successful mission.
Waltz (1:48 pm ET): Our initial strike was successful; we have positive ID on target. Excellent job team.
Vance (1:54 pm ET): What?! Please, elaborate.
Waltz (2:00 pm ET): The primary target, their top missile expert, was positively identified entering a building. The building is now collapsed.
Vance (2:01 pm ET): That’s great news.
Ratcliffe (2:36 pm ET): Starting with a bang, indeed.
Rubio (5:14 pm ET): Impressive work, team!
Stephen Miller (5:18 pm ET): Well done team. An auspicious start.
Hegseth (5:20 pm ET): CENTCOM executed flawlessly. We have more strikes planned tonight. Full report tomorrow 👊🔥
Wiles (5:21 pm ET): Hats off to everyone, especially CENTCOM. God bless. 🙏
Steve Witkoff (5:47 pm ET): Proud of our team! 🇺🇸
Gabbard (6:35 pm ET): Great work everyone! Marco, how about we celebrate with some Russian vodka tonight? 😉
Rubio (6:45 pm ET): Tulsi, always with your Russian affinity! 😂 Let’s stick to good old American Bourbon.
March 16 Vance (08:16am ET): I have a few concerns with our approach. I can support the consensus and keep them to myself, but pausing might give us a better launching point.
Kent (08:22am ET): There’s nothing pressing about our timeline. Waiting a month gives us the same options.
Ratcliffe (08:26am ET): I concur with Kent. A delay wouldn’t affect us negatively.
Hegseth (08:27am ET): Vance, I understand your concerns. We should bring this up with POTUS.
Miller (09:35am ET): The president’s directive was clear. Once we succeed, we need to make clear our expectations to Egypt and Europe.
Hegseth (09:46am ET): Agreed. Now’s our time. If Europe doesn’t compensate, we’ll take our next steps. 🔥💪
Gabbard (10:35am ET): So, do we have a deal, Marco? I can get the vodka. 🍸
Rubio (10:40am ET): Tulsi, I think you missed your calling in diplomacy. Bourbon it is!
