The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Enter "Baghdad Bob"

Headline on the Beeb tonight, words to the effect "Israeli attacks in Lebanon continue, cease fire holding"

Meanwhile, everyone is quoting the official line about the Iranian attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain: two missiles aimed at Kuwait broke up and fell into the sea. Three missiles fired at Bahrain were intercepted, and did not hit their targets. One thing I noticed. No article says how many missiles were in each attack. With Iran having an inventory of thousands of missiles and drones, did they only launch two to Kuwait? Or did they launch ten, and CENTCOM is only talking about the two that broke up? Same with Bahrain. Were there only three in the attack, or did they intercept three, out of a larger number?

Can't be sure of anything, with "Baghdad Bob" in charge.
