is hardly a cause for a freakout.

There was never a question of Iran being capable of reaching the air base, nor was there a question of Iran being able to cause damage in Israel. The question was, at what cost and to what effect. And the proportionality factor between the two is pathetic. The pothole crew at the airbase is sleeping well tonight.

Notwithstanding the condescention of your geography lessons, you asked me a fairly direct question: Beastly Boy Apr 14 #20
