Bibi Netanyahu has again salvaged his prime ministership, and the hapless Donald Trump hopes the markets won't move too badly this week. After all, his advisors and partners told him this would be easy, and good for his presidency. A cakewalk, if you will. Israel will do the heavy lifting, they said.
Saturday's attack on Iran was posed as a decapitation strike; it also decapitated several dozen schoolgirls in southern Iran within the first few hours, but thats just war, right ? Trump told Americans that the latest unconstitutional mayhem was based on five facetious factors: 1) No nuclear weapons or nuclear enrichment for Iranians, 2) no long range ballistics missiles for Iranians, 3) no Ayatollah for the Iranians, 4) no Iranian support for anti-Israel forces like Hezbollah or Hamas, and 5) liberation of the Iranian people, first of their weapons.
