#2 Every time crap like this gets hyped, it turns out to be a big nothingburger......no reason to assume anything different this time.

If the Iranians DO actually attack, I simply expect Israel to rip Iran's balls off to shove up their nose as an 'example' of they they should stay home.

#3 I am leaning more toward the US supporting Iran than Israel with the Biden administration in charge. Netanyahu should watch this action very carefully.

#6 With Team Brandon, betrayal is always a possibility. One would hope that the presence of US forces would discourage 3rd parties from joining the festivities.

#11 By Daily Mail? No. They deal in schwerelos anti-tomes.

#12 Why an aircraft carrier? Arleigh Burke-class and Ticonderoga-class are custom built to intercept planes and missiles. Me thinks the Daily Mail is talking out its ass again.

#13 Things are getting seriously close to kinetic if they need diconnect from the IV drip and drag Jojo back from Weekend at Bernies!

Fox News: "BREAKING: White House says President Biden is returning to the White House from Rehoboth Beach, Del. this afternoon to consult with his national security team about events in the Middle East."..
