Hey @bachophile - what do you do if you’re in surgery and one of these alerts comes in? Just hope for the best?

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.

By the way I met a young lady at your hospital recently. Can’t remember if it was AASLD, ERS, or ATS. She knew who you were though hadn’t met you.
When I asked if she knew you she said ‘of course I know who he is’.

A worsening of this is what will bring regime change to Iran. We will know for certain when the women hit the streets en masse in protest because their kids are crying from hunger:
One contributor from Karaj, a city just outside of Tehran, says: "Yesterday, I went to a supermarket to buy fruit and found almost empty shelves.

I'm thinking Trump's looking at the disparagement of GHWB's Presidency - not "finishing the job".

You might be right, Trump probably fancies himself like the Don Rickles character, Crap Game, in Kelly’s Heroes.

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.

I wonder if Bolton went to see a doctor over his 5 hour erection after Israel started bombing?
