00:00I mean, we did hear very early on in this conflict that the United States had aerial supremacy over Iran.
00:05And I think quite a lot of people would agree with that.
00:08Would you say that everything had been done to prepare the ground in the event that the United States does
00:13decide to go ahead with the ground operation?
00:16Absolutely not. Simply having air supremacy does not guarantee a successful ground operation.
00:21There are two different things. The United States had quickly achieved air supremacy over Iraq, where I did serve for
00:27a period of time.
00:28Quickly achieved air supremacy over Iraq. And then we spent almost 20 years bogged down in a conflagration there.
00:36So great, there's air superiority, but that doesn't guarantee any kind of successful long term operation.
