Former USS Cole Commander: Amphibious Landings Are ‘Extremely Difficult Operations’

EXCERPT:

LIPPOLD: “It’s a very, very complicated problem. Amphibious landings are typically extremely difficult operations to pull off without having all those support forces there.”

CAIN: “And we should note, this is coming at the same time that President Trump did say earlier today that it looks like there is at least some prospect for a deal, some interest on the Iranian side in finding a deal. He went so far as to say this could be over very soon, but we’ll see, because this is clearly a preparation for the opposite.”
