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

    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.

                        Warning.

                        "Extremely Graphic" is an understatement.

                        Don't look unless you have a strong strong stomach.

                          Yeah, no thanks.

                          Remember when snuff films were a lucrative thing? Now they are free on social media.

                                  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?

                                      If you have the right weapons and enough of them. What Hamas has?

                                        Success against an aircraft carrier would be a bad idea from the get go as the retribution for a successful attack would be fugly.

                                          The US Navy will not get close enough for Hamas to shoot at them without revealing Iranian weapons. I seriously doubt the mullahs would risk that.
