Israeli weaponry far more accurate and deadly than Iranian. And I don't even want to think atomics. Sleep soundly everyone??

Some recovery from the selling.Futures have gained about 1/3 of the stock market losses back.Reports are suggesting the counterattack was done in almost a cooperative way.A lot of "face-saving" going on.

Great--even higher gas prices. If Snifin' China Joe hadn't stepped in we could still have energy independence.

Attack targets in the vicinity of nuclear facilities but not the facilities themselves. Send a message and warning.
