    Whatever doesn't fit the narrative will be fake news...or the Dems...or the Iranians. Wait, what?

    Somebody probably has better answers.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    These are unsettling questions. The NPR photos also clearly show buildings that look like they were intended to be hit.

    If they had wanted to inflict casualties it appears they would have done so. Or, this was allowed so that Iran could claim a retaliation and everyone gets an exit. If that's the case, I think it's well done.

    Revealing too much of what we know about an adversary’s activities also risks compromising the means of knowing it. And risks the adversary’s employing methods and tactics to keep us from gathering that information in the future.

    It isn’t worth potentially compromising the ability to monitor future events merely so the president can brag about how unreliable Iran’s ballistic missiles are.

    Why give them a free bomb damage assessment and bonus target spotting?

If they aren't there yet they will be very soon. Trump is no exception. Nobody who qualifies for Required Minimum Distribution (SSI) should be able to run for president. The reason is you don't have that much longer to live. The fed ran the numbers. 9 years average.

    Trump doesn't look all that healthy. Maybe Melania is wearing him out but I doubt it.

    My thoughts go out to the men and women on the ground. It’s a terrible to take incoming fire and know that your just along for the ride.
    Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.

    Two hour warning. Nobody gives you a 2 hour warning to insure there are no casualties unless they don't want any casualties.

    Everyone is playing to avoid an escalation and we may have succeeded. I'm pretty damn happy about that.
