Seems like we have missiles flying awry (maybe) all over the area! Isn't that unusual? I mean, missing a building is one thing, but MISSING A COUNTRY IS ANOTHER!!

And you want to start it by hitting a random bus?

Uh-huh.. Remember the USA is a sovereign nation...We don't cow-tow to International pressure. I think we will be OK.

Expect more of this kind of thing.

Most likely, a staged attack meant to provoke.

I believe the Syrian bus was in Iraq transporting mostly refugees.

As it turned out those 3 missles that hit Iran were Iraqi. So, I'll bet you this was too.

Surprisingly, it did.

They were dressed like them too.

Wonder if it was carrying those "high officials" fleeing Baghdad.

The Jihad bomber was in the wrong country. He thought he was in Israel.

Five were killed, the other 129 on board escaped injury.

Mighty puny missle.

They tossed off the dead, the driver was able to restart the bus, took on some more passengers and headed on down the yellow brick road and everyone lived happily ever after.

Now go to bed.

Come to think of it, isn't Syria "holding" some of Saddam's WMD? hmmm....However, we would never hit a school bus on purpose no matter what was in it.
