Cease Fi-- Incoming!

     In the wake of the U.S. bombing of several nuclear-work sites in Iran, there was supposed to be a cease-fire between Iran and Israel.  The President of the U.S. said so.

     Their militaries don't appear to have gotten the message.  I don't know if their governments have.  Each is accusing the other of going back on the agreement.

     I'm not chortling at Mr. Trump's disappointment (he was chiding the Israelis on social media not long ago).  I'm certainly not cheering on the conflict; it is messy, with missiles, bombs and drones striking civilians along with their (presumed) military targets, in a region already filled with tragedy.

     Who ever calmed a hornet's nest by shaking it?

Donnie's watching that coveted Nobel Peace Prize circling his drain. No wonder he's been reported as "furious".

Obama got one, so why can't poor Donnie?

StupidiT peddles peace while pressing war. The incompetence, petulance, and imperturbable narcissism have brought the world to its knees. There is no end in sight to the chaos, but the rational minded must not yield, otherwise we'll all be living in gulags as political dissidents.

As a Vietnam veteran, I cannot imagine going to war again, but I took an oath to protect this country against enemies; both foreign and domestic. I will not hesitate to do so again, if necessary.

"I created peace by bombing them" sort of a tea and no tea situation.
