Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Join Jim and Greg as they marvel at the new hi-tech details surrounding Israel’s successful targeting of an Iranian nuclear scientist back in November. They also welcome the perfectly logical conclusion of the Senate parliamentarian that amnesty for illegal immigrants does not belong in a budget reconciliation bill. And they vent as the Pentagon actually admits its ISIS-K drone strike actually killed a bunch of innocent people but top officials somehow stand by the intelligence behind the strike.

The Marine Raider screening was in the last major war the US has won.
Why was the Israeli strike so successful — killing the A-bomb builder while sparing the wife sitting next to him — while the American drone killed seven children and three innocent adults.
Answer: Personnel on the ground.
Incidentally, I was immediately suspicious of the American strike. With nobody on-site, how could they possibly know the ten people killed were associated with ISIS-K — an organization of which I had never heard before.
