No, we keep getting messages from the powers that be, that there is still a big danger of ballistic missiles. Not to be euphoric.

Only prudent and realistic under the present circumstances

Yeah, my guess is much of the delay is rebuilding a command structure and assessing what’s not been destroyed.

Dig out all the problems. When all this is over Israel should donate a bunch of camels and lots of sheep and let them go back to the people they really are.

Back in the shelter. Feel like I should be singing gimme shelter by the stones.

Good luck Bach, hope it all goes well for you and your.

[Mik]

It's hard to imagine. Best of luck both for you and yours, and for the mission.

[bachophile]

Back out. All kewl.

[Mik]

The Iranians are claiming they struck with precision. I rather doubt that.

[jon-nyc]

Maybe so

[Mik]

Yeah, but hitting a city is hardly precision.

I heard a few booms but far off. Now a lull so im out with the dog. Last thing I need is the dog peeing in the shelter.

[bachophile]

So to sum up. Nine places where there were impacts. No serious injuries reported. Some scratches from flying glass.

[Mik]

Definitely not first world problems.

I wonder how many missiles they fired.

[bachophile]

They are saying 200.

Injured now reported at twenty.

[Mik]

I've been glued to NYT as they do updates every few minutes. they did not say anything about the extent of Iran's response.

@Mik You should read 'The last Shah' by Ray Takeyh'. Gives a good insight into the historical backgrounds of Iran/Persia.
