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

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.

Except he doesn’t mind saying one thing on Tuesday and something else on Wednesday. Or even 5 minutes later on Tuesday.

China sending mystery planes to Iran.

Air defenses? Surface to air missiles for Fordo?

Might only be semi-erect until the B-2 takes off from Diego Garcia.

So it’s been 48 hours since the night that was supposed to be remembered for centuries….

[jon-nyc]

I'm glad you remembered that night. I had already forgotten.

In the bowels of sheba this morning at 715.

We are hearing a direct hit on Beershebas biggest hospital. Still don’t know details

[blondie]

I’m praying you stay safe and your hospital stays safe Bach.

[kluurs]

Sorry to hear that news, Bach. Keep your head down - and a few meters of concrete between you and anything wayward.

[jon-nyc]

Horrible.

[AndyD]

Targeting? Are the Iranian missiles accurate to a building or room or city block? Or not?

Bach - you're in all our thoughts. Hopefully you can stay relatively safe

[bachophile]

accurate to a city block is my guess. but i know the area, been there many times. its really the only big building and campus in the area, closest military targets are way out of the city (hatzerim AFB for example) so its really the only real target in that area of Beersheva. it was obviously directly targeted.
