Maj. Gen. Randy Manner and I had a wide-ranging conversation today about where we are, and where we're headed in this war.
"This is probably the highest risk situation I've heard of so far in the Middle East over the past several months."
He says the fact America has committed 1/4 to 1/3 of its refueling capability to a single theater is a real indicator of what's to come...
On a potential ground operation to secure the Strait of Hormuz: "...a course of action I would NEVER recommend, ever... absolute insanity."
On Iran's true capabilities: "They aren't acting illogically compared to the U.S., they have the capability to sink a U.S. warship, they're choosing not to."
What comes next: "I am now upping my probability to very, very high, things are going to get really bad THIS coming week..."
Great having the Major General back on...
