He should, shouldn’t he? They don’t grade their own work.

intelligence community does. I believe that General Caine is tightly drawing the line between operational roles and evaluative roles.He executed and explained the air strikes but deferred the judgment on their effectiveness to the intelligence community, including the CIA, DIA, IAEA, etc. That’s why he keeps referring reporters to those “third-party” agencies. But he highlighted extensive damage, emphasizing “extremely severe damage and destruction,” yet stopped short of echoing the term “obliterated,” indicating final assessment was still pending.
