      To say that “continued military operations” are a red line is basically giving them an ultimatum to cease hostilities.

        As terrorist motivations go, a strong Israeli reaction, and the fallout from it, is the most plausible one.

        Education is extremely important.

          In that sense, Iran already won.

            That’s how I read it as well. I understand also that in the last 12 hours Israeli jets air struck Aleppo airport in Syria. A good thing that the 2nd USN Carrier Group is en route.
            This is shaping up to be a multiple party hot one.

                    True, by postponing 36 hours they’ll avoid a nasty Russian winter in Gaza City.

                    Actually I imagine they’re postponing for humanitarian reasons (it’s hard to evacuate 1MM people in a day along two roads) but don’t want to say as much.

                      Good point.

                      That was kind of … optimistic?

                        The American General that commented on it said two things: (1) were not going to Monday morning quarterback their tactical decisions; and 2) but that’s a tall order.

                                          When I see how fast and massive missiles and rockets can be fired, it makes me wonder what would happen if such an attack was against an aircraft carrier. Could the carrier group really pick off all the incoming?
