OK, so for some knuckle dragger opinion. As I watch the republican show up to the polls and the numbers are out stretching the dems there is a lot of joy on the right. But the republicans, or the dems for that matter, are not going to decide the vote. The number of independent voters in all states is staggering. I have never seen it like this before, or maybe I never noticed. In my state of AZ and the majority of states I have looked at, if the independents vote, in most states, at 60% or greater to one candidate, that side will win.

In every recent election it’s been up to the Independents to tip the vote, 49 Pan. Beyond the margin of cheating in key districts, anyway.
But also quite a few people claim to be independent or undecided if they don’t want to tell the pollster how they plan to vote — mostly Trump voters who feel unsafe coming out of the closet.

Apropos of nothing - just a morning laugh amidst these tense days - this will make you laugh. In the Hall of the Mountain King done by three guys with far too much time in a bar and great imaginations!
[ShabelleMedia] Somalia’s elite special forces units, known as DANAB and Gorgor, successfully neutralized 15 al-Shabaab ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... forces of Evil and demolished several of their hideouts near Qaycad, in the Galmudug ...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth... State, according to a statement from the ministry of information.
The operation, which took place in the pre-dawn hours, marks another significant military action against the al-Qaeda-linked group al-Shabaab, which has plagued Somalia with insurgency for years.
The special forces, trained with support from international allies including the United States and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... , have been at the forefront of Somalia’s efforts to dismantle al-Shabaab’s infrastructure and reduce its operational capabilities.
The Galmudug State, like other regions in Somalia, has seen frequent festivities between the national forces and al-Shabaab, with the forces of Evil often using the area for hideouts and training bases.
This latest operation is part of a broader strategy to clear these regions of bad boy presence, enhancing security and stability in central Somalia.
The Somali government has not reported any casualties among the national forces but confirmed the significant blow to al-Shabaab’s ranks and logistics.
The destruction of the hideouts is seen as a strategic move to disrupt the group’s activities, including its ability to plan attacks and maintain control over territories.
This military success comes at a time when Somalia is also engaging in political reforms and economic recovery, aiming to stabilize the country post-conflict.
The operation in Galmudug State underscores the ongoing commitment of the Somali military, with support from its international partners, to eradicate the threat posed by al-Shabaab and restore peace across the nation.

[KavkazUzel] Khusein Medov and Dzhabrail Aushev were arrested on charges of illegal arms and explosives trafficking. The investigation links them to the recognized terrorist militant wing of the Ingush vird Batalkhadzhintsy and the weapons used in the terrorist attack in "Crocus". Two more residents of Ingushetia have been declared wanted.
Was every local troublemaking Moslem group involved in that project? The Russian authorities started with ISIS, added a Ukraine connection, and then it spread from there.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on March 22, armed men broke into the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow, opened fire and set it on fire. According to official data, 145 people were killed in the terrorist attack, the FSB classified the incident as a terrorist attack. Eleven people were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the terrorist attack. The terrorist attack in Krasnogorsk was the largest in the Moscow region in 30 years. From 1999 until the events at Crocus City Hall, there had been five terrorist attacks there, each killing more than 40 people. Before the terrorist attack at Crocus, the largest number of deaths, 130 people, was attributed to the seizure of the Theater Center on Dubrovka.
Two alleged accomplices in the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall in the Moscow region, Aushev and Medov, have been arrested in Moscow on charges of illegal trafficking of weapons and explosives, RIA Novosti reported today.
"The court granted the investigator's motion to extend the preventive measure in the form of detention for Aushev D.M. and Medov Kh.A.," the agency quoted data from the card index of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow.
The new defendants in the case of the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall are residents of Ingushetia. Two of them have been arrested, and two more have been put on the wanted list. According to the investigation, they may be connected with the already recognized terrorist and banned by the court militant wing of the Batalkhadzhin vird. They converted blank-firing Kalashnikov assault rifles into combat ones and armed them with them along with cartridges to the terrorists who directly attacked the concert hall visitors, Kommersant reported today.
Batal-Khadzhi Belkhoroev is an Ingush sheikh, the founder of one of the Kadirite branches (virds), a follower of Sheikh Kunta-Khadzhi, according to the report "Batal-Khadzhi and His Followers" prepared by the "Caucasian Knot ". The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, declared the Batal-Khadzhi people his brothers after a wave of arrests in the fall of 2022. On November 3, 2022, he stood up for the Belkharoev family. Kadyrov stated that the term "Batal-Khadzhi terrorist society" is absurd, and the Belkharoevs will always be his close brothers. In February 2023, the FSB included the militant wing of the Ingush vird of the Batal-Khadzhi people in the list of terrorist organizations.
The defendants in the criminal case are natives of the Ingush village of Surkhakhi, Khusein Medov, Dzhabrail Aushev and Khavazh-Bagaudin Aliyev, as well as Batyr Kulayev from Ekazhevo. Their criminal case in the central office of the investigative department has already been combined with the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, and they are accused of illegal circulation of weapons and ammunition (part 5 of article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and explosive devices (part 3 of article 222.1). FSB and criminal investigation officers detained Medov and Aushev in Ingushetia, from where they were taken to Moscow. Two of their fellow countrymen have been declared wanted.
The investigation suggests that a few weeks before the terrorist attack, the Tajik nationals contacted residents of Ingushetia through accomplices. At the request of the Tajiks, 32-year-old Khusein Medov obtained four blank-firing Kalashnikov assault rifles through his own channels, which he converted into live ones at home. 27-year-old Batyr Kulaev gave his fellow countryman magazines for the Kalashnikov assault rifles and cartridges, which were used by the terrorists in the Crocus. 23-year-old Dzhabrail Aushev and 31-year-old Khavazh-Bagaudin Aliyev delivered the weapons and ammunition to caches near the villages of Ekazhevo and Surkhakhi, sending their coordinates to the customers. They were taken from the caches by intermediaries, who, in addition to the four assault rifles, brought 68 magazines and more than 2,000 cartridges. Most of the magazines were loaded before being sent, which, according to the investigation, confirms that the alleged members of the Ingush link of the terrorist group knew what they were planning to do. According to the testimony of the persons involved in the investigation, they were paid more than 1 million rubles for the weapons and ammunition.
On November 1, the Basmanny District Court extended the pre-trial detention of Medov and Aushev until December 22. The hearing was listed as open in the Moscow City Court database, but after the court had only established the identities of the defendants, the trial was closed. Introducing themselves to the court, Dzhabrail Aushev and Khusein Medov said that they were unemployed with secondary education. Medov is a disabled person of the second group due to bronchial asthma.
After the trial, representatives of the accused said that they denied their participation in the terrorist attack, but admitted involvement in the illegal circulation of weapons and ammunition, stating that they worked only with intermediaries, and therefore could not imagine who would end up with the guns and how they would be used.
According to the investigation, the members of the militant wing of the Batal-Khadzhi Belkhoroev religious movement, which is recognized as terrorist and banned in Russia, are connected not only with adherents of extremist movements in Islam, but also with Ukrainian special services. This fits in with the version about the Ukrainian trace in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus, which was previously made public by the leadership of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation and the FSB, the publication says.
Up to 600 people were involved in the Poitiers battle following the shootout
Shots were fired at a kebab shop in the city overnight
Five teens were seriously injured, with one in a state of 'brain death'
A massive shootout linked to drug trafficking has left a teenager and four others, including two teenage girls, seriously wounded in western France, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said on Friday, in the latest such gunfight to injure children.
The shootout erupted in front of a Poitiers restaurant, reportedly the 'L'Othentik' kebab shop, overnight after shots were 'fired from a passing car injuring a number of people', the minister said.
French police told Le Figaro that 'at least 12' bullet holes, believed to have been 22-calibre rounds, were seen on the facade of the restaurant, while weapons were found at the scene.
'We are at a tipping point and the choice we have today is a choice between general mobilisation or the Mexicanisation of the country.’
'What started as a shooting at a restaurant ended up in a fight between rival gangs that involved several hundred people', Retailleau said.
Cops said that between 400 and 600 people were involved in the violence that escalated in the aftermath of the shootout, which reportedly came 'against a backdrop of tensions between the Maghreb and Guadeloupean communities.'
Oboy. The Maghreb means the jihadi-narco trafficking nexus of Al Qaeda in North Africa, while the overseas department of Guadeloupe…actually, I have no idea what that’s all about. Probably analogous to Puerto Rico or Guam or something.
The 15-year-old boy who was shot in the head was between life and death, he said.
French newspaper Le Parisien reported that the boy's family has been informed that he was left in a state of 'brain death', after he was rushed to the nearby Poitiers University Hospital.
The newspaper also reported that the other four injured, three 16-year-olds and another 15-year-old, were also rushed to hospital after they suffered shots to the shoulder, head, ankle and feet, though they are in a less serious condition.
Cops were 'set upon' by '80 to 100' people in the crowd, and were forced to arrest dozens to restore calm by around 2:30am.
Police in the city said they were sending reinforcements to calm tensions.
The minister warned that the country was at a 'tipping point' when it came to drug trafficking violence.
'These shootings are not happening in South America, they are happening in Rennes, in Poitiers, in this part of western France once known for its tranquility', he starkly said.
'We are at a tipping point and the choice we have today is a choice between general mobilisation or the Mexicanisation of the country,' he said, citing Mexico's deep problem with cartel violence.
Léonore Moncond'huy, the mayor of Poitiers, said the incident was 'a new episode of violence unacceptable for the neighbourhood'.
Pictures from the scene in Place Coimbra, an area of the city known for drug-related crimes, showed the restaurant's facade riddled with bullet holes.
The shooting then triggered fighting between rival gang groups in the area, according to police.
"Tensions between groups broke out, requiring the intervention of the police and the gendarmerie," Vienne regional police said in a statement.
Retailleau said "400 to 600" people were at the scene, though it is not clear how many of those were directly involved.
He was scheduled to visit Rennes, the capital of Brittany, on Friday following the shooting on 26 October, in which a five-year-old boy sitting in a car was shot in the head. Authorities confirmed the shooting was also drug-related.
The drug trade in France has long been viewed as centred in the southern port city of Marseille, where at least 17 drug-related killings have been reported since the start of the year.
But researchers say the influence of drug trafficking in France in recent years has spread beyond the main hubs of Marseille and Paris to medium-sized towns and even rural areas.

As noted previously, starting in the early nineteen nineties a mosque in Milan served as a major European outpost for the Al Qaeda. It served as a bank for the Islamists, and it remains a center of European Islamism to this date.

This is what conquest looks like-restrained only by the taqqiyah pretense of "coexistence" as the aim of Islam.
Conquest of the west is their goal, by immigration alone it seems as Europe largely is committing cultural suicide rather than embrace their past glory. In America, perhaps the next few days may signal signs of sanity at last?

Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world.

After being informed, police and rescue officials rushed to the scene and shifted the injured and the bodies to the hospital for medico-legal formalities. The bomb disposal squad also reached the spot soon after the earth-shattering kaboom and started collecting evidence.
In a statement, the hospital administration added that 33 injured people were undergoing treatment at DHQ and Nawab Hospital in Mastung, among which most were schoolchildren. The ages of the dear departed schoolchildren, which include girls and boys, are between 10 to 13 years old, while four coppers are among the injured.

Pakistain's Prime Minister condemned the incident, labeling it a ''terrorist attack'' in an official statement. However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... no individual or group has grabbed credit for the blast so far.
It is worth noting that Baloch separatist groups, designated as ''terrorist'' organizations by the Pak government, are often behind attacks and bombings in the region.

[KhaamaPress] A report states that Pak military Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s targeting Tehrik-e-Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... Pakistain (TTP) positions in Bannu, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, have caused civilian casualties.
Three Mighty Pak Army personnel, including an officer, were reportedly killed during the operation.
The festivities between the military and TTP forces have been ongoing since midnight. The Pak military deployed helicopters along with both light and heavy weaponry to strike TTP strongholds in the area.
Some Bannu residents claim that military aircraft attacked civilian areas, resulting in civilian casualties. The Pak military has not officially commented on civilian losses, though military sources confirmed the deaths of three army personnel, including an officer.
Reports indicate that early in the morning, Pak forces attempted to surround Hafiz Gul Bahadur ...a member of the Madda Khel clan of the Uthmanzai Waziris. Educated in a Deobandi madrassa located in Multan, he is affiliated with the Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) political party. Upon the formation of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in December 2007, he was announced as the group's overall naib amir under Baitullah Mehsud, who was based in South Wazoo, but has largely distanced himself from the TTP due to rivalries with the Mehsuds and disagreements about the TTP's attacks against the Pak state.. , a TTP commander. During the operation, a military officer named Atif and his soldiers were ambushed by TTP fighters, prompting the use of helicopters to break the siege.
the report added that non-combatants were killed, and several homes were damaged in the crossfire. The exact number of civilian casualties remains unconfirmed.
Two TTP snuffies have been confirmed dead in the fighting so far. The situation has added to the tensions within the region.
This escalation in hostilities comes as the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) has recently called for the military and TTP to vacate Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. In a recent assembly, PTM members resolved to take action if both forces do not withdraw from the region.
The continuing festivities have heightened tensions in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, leaving local residents in a vulnerable position amidst the violence. The need for a peaceful resolution and immediate protection for civilians is becoming increasingly critical as the conflict unfolds.

[IsraelTimes] Iran says it is committed to the destruction of Israel and supports terrorist groups throughout the Middle East in pursuit of that goal.
Axios reported late on Thursday that Israeli intelligence suggests Iran is preparing to attack Israel from Iraqi territory in the coming days, possibly before the US presidential election on November 5, citing two unidentified Israeli sources.
There was no immediate Iraqi comment.
Sudani’s government has not been successful in a push to convince the Islamic Resistance in Iraq — a coalition of Iran-backed militias and terror groups — to stop firing rockets and drones at Israel, according to four sources from Iran-backed groups and two government advisers.
Four sources from armed groups said the Kataeb Hezbollah and Nujaba groups, which are leading the attacks on Israel, have warned the prime minister against pressuring them to halt their actions and vowed to continue their attacks as long as Israel continues its operations against Hamas and Hezbollah.
The issue has divided parties in Iraq’s ruling coalition, all of whom are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause and view Israel as an enemy, though some differ over how involved Iraq should be in the regional confrontation, which erupted with the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror onslaught in southern Israel.
Shiite leaders discussed the risk of repercussions from attacks on Israel and possible Israeli retaliation during two meetings in October, said Ahmed Kenani, a Shiite lawmaker from the ruling alliance.
Key players in the Shiite coalition view direct confrontation with Israel as counterproductive and potentially damaging to Iraq, according to four Shiite lawmakers.
“Those groups who have the rockets and drones should go to Gaza and Lebanon to fight Israel rather than pushing Iraq toward destruction,” Iraqi PM adviser Abdul Ameer Thuaiban said.
Kataeb Hezbollah, the most powerful of the armed factions, said Israel and the US would have to pay a price for Israel’s strikes on Iran last week.
Senior Iraqi security sources told Reuters ahead of that attack that any strike by Israel against Iran, outside what the sources called “the established rules of engagement,” could prompt pro-Iran armed groups to significantly expand their attacks on Israel and US assets in the region.
Mohammed Shummary, chairman of Baghdad-based think tank the Sumeria Foundation, said growing regional conflict risked pulling Iraq’s Shiite Muslim parties, many of them heavily armed, into a confrontation that few initially had an appetite for.
“They are torn between maintaining their decision to keep Iraq out of the confrontation and their ideological and political commitments toward the Shia of Lebanon and the broader resistance axis, amid Israeli aggression that has crossed all permissible red lines,” he told Reuters.
“If the confrontation escalates… this may not only mean the continuation of attacks on Israeli targets but also the potential involvement of additional factions in larger, more complex operations,” he said.
From the Times of Israel liveblog, the headline efficiently summarizes several subsequent posts: here, here, and here.
Update at 1:00 p.m. ET:
Police update says 19 wounded in rocket attack on Tira
Citing medical officials, police raise the injury toll in the rocket attack on Tira to 19, four of whom were moderately hurt and the rest lightly. All 19 were taken to local hospitals, police add.
[IsraelTimes] UNRWA accuses IDF of damaging its office in Nur Shams during operation, military denies responsibility, says terrorists had planted explosives nearby
The Israel Defense Forces said it had wrapped up a day-long raid in the West Bank’s Nur Shams camp near Tulkarem on Friday, during which three button men were killed in an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... and festivities with troops.
The operation was carried out by the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit alongside Border Police and Shin Bet forces.
Amid the raid, Israeli forces carried out a dronezap against two button men who were firing at the troops, the IDF said. It published footage of the incident.
Also amid the operation, Haruv soldiers killed another operative who "posed a threat," the IDF said, adding that the unit also maimed several other button men.
The operation also saw Border Police officers neutralize several bombs planted under and along roads in Nur Shams.
The IDF also published drone footage of button men operating at the entrance to a hospital in Tulkarem. In the video, one gunman can be seen handing over an assault rifle to another at the medical center compound.
Amid the raid on Thursday, UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini claimed that IDF bulldozers had severely damaged the UN aid agency’s office in Nur Shams, rendering it unusable.
The IDF, however, issued a statement denying responsibility for any damage sustained to the building.
"The claim that the UNRWA offices in Nur Shams were destroyed by IDF soldiers is false," the statement read. "Terrorists planted explosives in the proximity of the UNRWA offices that were then detonated in an attempt to harm IDF soldiers. The explosives likely caused damage to the structure."
The raid in Nur Shams was launched shortly after troops operating in the West Bank city of Tulkarem killed prominent Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... member Hussam al-Malah.
lIn a joint statement, the IDF, Israel Police and the Shin Bet said that al-Malah was involved in planning imminent terror attacks with Islam Odeh and Zahi Oufi, two Hamas operatives killed by Israel in separate incidents in recent weeks. The three, along with other members of a Hamas network in Tulkarem, were allegedly planning a major terror attack on the October 7 anniversary. The military said that after Odeh and Oufi were killed, al-Malah continued to lead the Hamas network and worked to plan imminent attacks in recent days.
Since October 7, troops have arrested some 5,250 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,050 affiliated with Hamas.
According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 716 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or hard boyz carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 41 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another six members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
The IDF has carried out more than 70 airstrikes in the West Bank since October 7, using drones, attack helicopters, and fighter jets.
[GEO.TV] At least 10 Palestinians were killed on Friday in an Israeli strike targeting the entrance of a school sheltering displaced people in Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, medics told Reuters.
Another local Hamas HQ and weapons stash surrounded by willing and unwilling human shields, no doubt. There doesn’t seem to have been a single innocent, single-use school, mosque, hospital, or public building in all the Gaza Strip.

[IsraelTimes] Top Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... official Izz al-Din Kassab was killed in an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... earlier today in the southern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip, the IDF and Shin Bet announce.
Kasab was one of the last remaining members of Hamas’s political bureau, where he served as head of national relations.
According to the military, he was responsible for coordination between Hamas and the other terror groups in Gaza.
"Kassab was a significant source of power and, by virtue of his role, was responsible for the organization’s strategic and military relations with other factions in the Gaza Strip. He held the authority to direct the execution of terror attacks against the State of Israel," the IDF says in a statement.
According to the IDF, Kassab’s assistant, Ayman Ayesh, was also killed in the strike.
The military releases footage of the strike, which took place in the Khan Younis area.
[IsraelTimes] A Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court judge has partially lifted a gag order regarding an ongoing investigation into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office over the leak of classified intelligence.
Judge Menachem Mizrahi confirms that over the past week, the Shin Bet, Israel Police and the IDF began the "open phase" of their joint investigation into a suspected breach of national security caused by the leak of classified information.
Authorities suspect that the leak harmed the achievement of Israel’s war aims, Mizrahi says.
"Several suspects were arrested for questioning, and the investigation is ongoing," he adds.
[NYPOST] Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... claimed it could build a nuclear weapons as its supreme leader on Saturday threatened the US and Israel with a ''tooth-breaking response'' to Israel's strike on Iranian military targets.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...> spoke with students ahead of the anniversary of the 1979 seizure of the US embassy in Tehran.
''The enemies, whether the Zionist regime or the United States of America, will definitely receive a tooth-breaking response to what they are doing to Iran and the land of the Medes and the Persians and to the resistance front,'' Khamenei, 85, said in a video released by the state media, referring to Tehran-backed terror group like Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... and Hezbollah.
The comments came a day after a top adviser issued a warning about Iran's nuclear capabilities. Adviser Kamal Kharrazi said Friday the country could alter its policies on using nuclear weapons if the threat seems big enough.
''If an existential threat arises, Iran will modify its nuclear doctrine, we have the capability to build weapons and have no issue in this regard,'' Kharrazi told Lebanese media, Fox News reported.
A day earlier, Khamenei reportedly instructed his forces to prepare a direct attack against Israel.

Iran's capacity to put another 300 missiles in the air toward Israel is in doubt.
Iran's capacity to launch an effective attack on Israel with their old F-14s is pretty close to zero.
Yes they could put a nuke on a truck and drive it to Israel but that would likely be detected and might even go off in Iraq or Jordan.
Iran could demand Hezbollah to launch all their remaining missiles at once but Hezbollah would likely not be able to do that. Furthermore once they didn't have anything else to lauch Hezbollah is much less of a threat.
Iran could try launching a thousand drones but I'm not sure they have anywhere near that capacity.
Wonder who is going to tell the Ayatollah.

A lot of the stations and hardware that were used to fuel the ballistic missiles were destroyed in the 26 October attack.
When the perfidious Juice launched their utterly unprovoked attack on Iran, everyone was going on about nuke labs and oil facilities, none of which were struck. The stuff that did get blowed up were the Iranian air defenses because that is always the first thing in any good air strike, and lots of missile production facilities, including the machines used to mix up solid rocket propellant. It was not as sexy as blowing up Kharg Island, but it keeps Iran from rebuilding the arsenal they recently set off which will be a disadvantage in the next round. Israel seems to be playing the long game.

I've never been to Beirut. But from the pix I've seen, it used to be pretty. The Paris of the Middle East, they called. Maybe it still is, judging by the Massive shootout sparks battle between up to 600 people in France story. Or maybe France is just becoming the Beirut of Europe.
[GEO.TV] A strike hit a building in the coastal city of Tyre in southern Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds.

It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... on Friday, an AFP correspondent said, after other heavy Israeli raids there in recent days.

Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set.
