Wow, playoff hockey, and the Heeb Force is lighting people up too, busy night, wonder what got up Rabbi Nussbaum's butt? Maybe they just want to show Trump how it's done...

Early reports are unreliable. Most likely just Hez getting hit.


Damn:
IS says that 3 USAF helicopters have landed on the site of their attack to the East of Raqqah to evacuate killed/injured soldiers

Saddam Hussein's gold discovered in T-54 Iraqi tank by British military restorers
A military collector discovered five gold bars worth more than £1m ($1.24m) hidden inside a restored tank purchased for £30,000, prompting theories it was plundered by Saddam Hussein's soldiers during the first Gulf War in a 'Three Kings'-type heist.

The bullion was buried inside the fuel tank of the T-54 armoured vehicle that had previously belonged to Hussein's Iraqi army. It is believed that the bars may have been looted from Kuwait during the 1990 Iraqi invasion, according to The Sun.

The tank's owner Nick Mead and his mechanic Todd Chamberlain had wrenched open the fuel tank at their site in Northamptonshire fearing they might discover firearms. ...

Instead, they were stunned to find five gold bars each weighing five kilos.

"We didn't know what to do. . . . so we called the police," Chamberlain told The Sun.

... IBTimes UK believe {the gold is worth} closer to £1.2m, based on current market prices.

Mead had recently purchased the Russian designed, Chinese built, tank on eBay. ...
Damn :shock:
I bet they found more than 5.
NukeDog was right

Chosenite air strike confirmed to not have happened, though there is intense Israeli air activity over Golan and Southern Lebanon supposedly.

It all depends what comes next.
I think you guys are overreacting at this point, Trump hasn't invaded anyone yet, he just fired some missiles into the dirt to placate those high on the humanitarian pixie dust. Worry if things start to take a turn for the worse but at this point the freak out is unwarranted.
I can't think of any way that I have overreacted...
I'm feeling mostly unperturbed about this situation.

I do think it's fascinating though.
Can't wait to find out what, in fact, the actual deal is.

Do you think Trump craved the humanitarian pixie dust effect enough to fabricate a false flag event.... that's a bit much for me to buy.
I don't buy that it was Assad who dropped the gas.
But if it wasn't Assad - who was it? and was Trump in on it all along... more importantly was Putin in on it?

Who has answers? Theories even.

GB, or Sarin, is a volatile binary agent which degrades quite quickly, so you don't just put GB/Sarin in an artillery rocket and tape the two ends shut, it actually requires some expertise to deploy; stored, transported and loaded as two precursors, which are only combined as they are aerosolized by a custom dedicated warhead.

You're not going to be just whipping up a batch of GB in some basement somewhere and pouring into a cannister like it was a martini, requires some level of technical infrastructure and some expert personnel for handling that kind of CW, ain't no thang for the Rooskies, but it's not a "homemade" bomb kind of weapon.
