#1 The bear may respond as they said they would to a US strike against pencil neck. Any potential navy collateral damage must be moved out of the kitchen.

#2 Twitter is cleaned out too. Digital globe had posted clear photos this AM. Now they are gone and the photos on their site are blurry for the port.

#5 US Miliary: WELCOME TO Syria!

Where there are year round fireworks, eco-terrorism, home to exotic military excursions from armies from just about every country around the world.

Visit the ancient ruins of Palmyra, resently ruined a second time non other than modern barbarians known the world over as ISIS.

Into wild life? Don't miss areas occupied by Turkey. Home to nature trails such as Olive Branch, currently a destination of jihadi's from around the world, complete with real action filled battles between the indigenous people known as the Kurds fighting for survival against ... well just about everyone else (Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria).

Syrian Safaris a re-enactment soon to occur similar to the one sided battle ground where several hundred Russian mercenaries, tanks and artillery were "hunted down like dogs" according to a now hard drinking Russian survivor, by US Apache Helicopters, C130, B52s, artillery, mortars and many other unexpected weapons for over 4 hours.

After all worn out by the action, a short Cobra hop over to the bright and peaceful beaches of Tel Aviv, miles away from the noise and smoke of burning tires courtesy of the Palestinians still smoldering from Easter Holiday celebrations.

Please check back in soon to find out about the surprise Tomahawk fireworks display that is going to be a sure crowd pleaser for everyone except anyone living around Damascus.

#7 "Alas, Babylon" sigh... palm heart salad made by a old maid is what that novel reminds me of. Oh and the racial slur against the blacks with the "why little rock" bit and lest one forget radioactive diamond rings from Miami.

As to actual action... people don't seem to really look at Trump's SOP. Nothing happens until after markets close on a Friday. Closing window for something to happen is market opening + 4 hours on a Monday.

#8 This weekend has the last tax paying window so will not want the IRS computers or US Internet disrupted when taxpayers pay. So SOP will not apply.

#11 Interesting the Russians did this before when evacuating Syria's chemical weapons. Wonder what they're taking out now?
