Never so glad to be wrong in my life

Well, it is August 23 and I'm still here.

Thankfully.

I still am very concerned about Iran and its allies, they must not be taken lightly.

That the Iranians went out of their way for months declaring that Aug 22 was a deadline of sorts and that they would be making a major pronouncement on that day, and having the occasion pass with only a minor reiteration of their usual position indicates to me that something might have gone wrong for them.

We ignore Iran at our peril.

And this IS the Middle East, where anything can happen.

It is after all, not a question of IF, but WHEN.
