I suspect it gets much worse. If you look down the road a bit, you can see full-blown war. The terrorists would be absolutely brain-dead not to press their advantage now, while the United States is being driven off a cliff by a incompetent fascist dunce. They're pretty stupid--if they were smart, they wouldn't be terrorists--but are they that stupid? Even a broken clock is right once a day.

How one yearns for the Bush days when the world was stable. The Obama presidency is a trainwreck, and we are living in a constant state of chaos and agitation. Going from bad to worse, we are living on the edge of impending catastrophe. 50 mortars fired into Israel, 2 injured; IDF strikes Gaza <http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=212838> J Post IDF responds with tank and helicopter strikes; Hamas claims responsibility for 10 of the mortars; barrage of projectiles explode in Eshkol, Sha'ar Hanegev and Sdot Hanegev regional councils, one building damaged.Civilian areas in southern <http://newstopics.jpost.com/topic/Israel> Israel were heavily shelled by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza on Saturday morning, when more than 50 mortars were fired at the regional councils of Sha'ar Hanegev, Eshkol and Sdot Hanegev. Two Israelis sustained light injuries by shrapnel and were transferred to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba. Hamas' armed wing, the Izzadin Kassam Brigades, claimed responsibility for a dozen of the mortars fired. The IDF responded to the barrage of mortars with tank shells and helicopter strikes. Six Palestinians were reportedly injured in the strikes. Following the attacks, Foreign Minister <http://newstopics.jpost.com/topic/Avigdor_Lieberman> Avigdor Lieberman instructed diplomats in New York to lodge a complaint with the United Nations <http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=212844> over the mortar barrage. One building sustained extensive damage in the Eshkol Regional Council although a majority of the projectiles landed in open areas, local officials reported. The regional council is inhabited predominantly by farmers, and has been the target of Palestinian shelling for several years. Eyal Brandeis, a kibbutz secretary in the Eshkol Regional Council, and the head of a local emergency response team, told The Jerusalem Post that the injured were a married couple who had been attempting to seek cover in a safe zone - a room reinforced with concrete to protect from projectiles. "It happened just as they entered the room. The couple were responding to instructions we sent out on cell phone text messages calling on all residents to seek shelter. They ran to the room, and shrapnel went through the window just before they could close it," Brandeis said. The man suffered shrapnel injuries to his back, while the woman was injured in her hand, Brandeis added. The couple received medical attention on the spot before being evacuated by Magen David Adom paramedics to the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva for further treatment. "We are used to sporadic rocket and mortar fire, but this was not the daily show we are used to," Brandais said, referring to the high number of mortars fired at his community on Saturday. "Luckily, we escaped with few injuries. We'll have to get through this," he added. Southern communities cannot be alerted to mortars by the Color Red rocket alert system and have developed their own cell phone text messaging alert system. "When we heard the high number of explosions across the area, we knew this was not an ordinary attack," he said. Ronit Minaker, a spokeswoman for the Eshkol Regional Council, said residents had been ordered to stay indoors for the duration of the morning. "People were compliant with the safety instructions," she said. "We're not used to this kind of massive fire. But we have experienced it before, and we know how to respond," Minaker added. "Our residents expect the government to do everything it can to end this. They also expect the government to construct safe rooms in the many communities that still lack them," she said.
