Hey @bachophile - what do you do if you’re in surgery and one of these alerts comes in? Just hope for the best?
@jon-nyc great question
My hospital (Sheba ) has 10 ORs underground for emergencies. So we just keep on working. Sometimes we don’t even know there are alerts until they are over.

If so it is very poor thinking. Bush I did exactly what the coalition agreed to, expel Iraq from Kuwait. It was done quite masterfully. There was no mandate to slaughter retreating Iraqi troops or to depose Hussein.

No surprise if true. Yesterday when he unthinkingly called for “unconditional surrender”, he painted himself into a very tight corner and has only emboldened the Iranian regime to thumb its nose at him and rankle the looney MAGAt faction in the GOP.
