It's not that. It's rather some of us are not so short-sighted as to understand that any sort of explosion in Iran has the enormous potential to effect U.S. interests abroad. That's why the story alarms me, not that I *assume* the U.S. has anything to do with the explosion itself, if it happened.
I haven't run out of the house naked yet screaming "We're ALL DOOMED!!!", and as you can see, we're just discussing the story in a cautioned manner. (*takes one more step toward fallout shelter*)
Maybe you need to stop accusing everyone of biases you so actively display yourself? Why I assume you'll listen to me, I'll never know. But it's a good point all the same. *pats self on back*

Oh please ::)
Careful, you're going to tear a tendon or ligament reaching around to pat yourself on the back so much.

I used the word "possibly", as in not corroborated yet, and I only used the word "missile" as that is what has been reported.

It's been reported (as in "latest reports", go ahead check it out, even Dexter's story says it) as a fuel tank explosion. Since you're defining "possibly" as "not corroborated", why focus on ANY of it, or why dwell on the initial speculation, rather than "latest reports"?
Any OTHER time, you're telling us about "latest reports" and relaying "the latest information"...why not this time? Ignoring the sparks flying from the grinding wheel do nothing for you, and your sanctimonious stance on this only adds color to the picture I sketch in black and white.

Hopefully it was not a hostile attack......

By the way, nice of you to speak for everybody on the board as usual :)

And nice of you to generalize that I "usually" do this. It'd be interesting to see you point to the "usual" you refer to...that the stats will disagree with you probably won't be an issue.
I'll edit it, because you're right, I was speaking for everybody. I don't think there's a person here who disagrees with your general viewpoints on the war that thinks you're being honest.
You are well aware of the point I'm making, and attempting to paint this as "drew thinks I'm for killing more and more people" is foolishly thinking people haven't read your past viewpoints and are somehow incapable of drawing the same conclusion.
You relish telling Americans how bad our country is, no matter the reason or how woefully underinformed on the subject you might be.

If this was a US or Israeli attack, the headline would be "Blast at Iran Nuke Plant, The Crater is...."
