Mornin’ Gran and all....
I’ll bet there’s more behind this faux attack than we’re hearing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole thing was approved of by the president, the troops were moved to safety (maybe the other bases that weren’t targeted) and now the Iranians will be required to come to the table and they’ll oblige, having saved face and all. I think they have figured out that if those 52 sites get hit, they’re done like dinner.
