Roundup
(1) Today is Purim, the Jewish festival that celebrates the obliteration of Haman, head of a movement in ancient Persia to eliminate the Jews, and his followers. Interesting, no? Most people think it’s just a story and has no historical reality, but one wonders. And note this: something like the name “Haman” is embedded in the name “Khameini.
(2) Another snowstorm where I am. Fortunately, I don’t have to go out. And so far I haven’t lost power.
(3) Qatar warns Iran to stop attacking it or they will retaliate.
As you might imagine, Tucker Carlson is experiencing stress, with two of his favorite places – Qatar and Iran – squabbling. But he is flexible enough to resolve his dilemma by claiming that the attacks on Qatar may seem to come from Iran, but they’re actually orchestrated by Israel, of course:
Tucker is an absolute lunatic.
1) He blames the damage against the Gulf States on Israel, even when those themselves are blaming The Islamic Republic.
2) He claims that the Saudis & Qatar arrested Mossad agents that planned to bomb those countries. This is completely made up pic.twitter.com/eNrmNUu95H

But from Al Jazeera, no special friend of Israel:
Qatar’s FM spokesperson adds that there is no information on Mossad cells operating in the country.
This comes after US broadcaster Tucker Carlson claimed that Qatar and Saudi Arabia have arrested individuals linked to Mossad.
What Qatar has done is to arrest two Iranian sleeper cells (from Al Jazeera as well):
Qatar has announced the arrest of what it called two cells operating for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Ten suspects were arrested in the cells, the Qatar News Agency (QNA) announced on Tuesday. Seven had been assigned to spy on “vital and military facilities” in Qatar, while three were tasked with carrying out sabotage operations.
Hey Tucker, maybe the Jews have hacked Al Jazeera too, right?
(4) Megyn Kelly isn’t far behind Tucker in saying the war is being fought for Israel rather than for the US, and Trump has criticized both of them.
(5) NeverTrumpers Bill Kristol, et al, say Trump shouldn’t have attacked Iran. And yet for quite some time they’ve been angrily asking Trump to do something to help the Iranian protesters. But hey, consistency isn’t their strong suit, except in one regard: whatever Trump does, they’re against it.
I’ve seen reports on various blogs that Qatar is joining the air campaign over Iran as well. Haven’t heard anything about the Saudis though they might be sticking to working over the Houthi since that air space has been deconflicted (since Israel is busy working over Iran)
Tucker and Kelly, what a pair of ——
Supposedly another poll says something like 65% or so of the American public opposed the strikes on Iran. Really must make Dem heads spin when so many ME countries are giving tacit support for the attacks. When you have Canada and Australia on your side (reluctantly I imagine), Trump must be doing something right.
yeah he lost the plot, when the al thanis and the bin Zayeds are more level headed than you, you’ve got a problem,*
*keep in mind, I don’t entirely trust any of those people, , but much like the Mexican attitude to native revolutionaries like the Zapatistas or those students in Iglala, they don’t forget about settling business
for at least a generation, it has been an exercise in feeding the crocodile so he eats you last, so we suffered through the EFP’s and IEDs that Suleimani sent our way in Iraq as well as Afghanistan,
those junior officers and enlisted like Hegseth and Vance,
then learned a a valuable lesson about the threat
If they’ve lost Qatar, they’re really in trouble.
Sad to see Carlson’s and Kelly’s brains turning to mush.
With frauds like Tucker, Candace, and Meghan who needs enemies?
I watched about 10 minutes of that trash from Tucker. He’s just a standard Jew hater and I don’t have time for that.
He asserted – without evidence – that Bibi forced Trump to attack Iran. Absurd.
Tucker is a whack job. And to think I used to like him.
I’ve been waiting for this headline.
Trump: Iran ‘running out’ of missiles, launch sites, as strikes ‘decimate’ regime’s capacity

Now, is there any chance the bastards are being resupplied from Turkey or some other border country?

Re Qatar, that second Al Jazeera link seems not to be working.
But there’s this:
“Qatar arrests 10 suspects tied to IRGC;
“Qatar says authorities arrested 10 suspects linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in two alleged cells involved in espionage and sabotage.”—

It’s time for all of us to fully wash our hands of Tucker Carlson. Even after his softball interview with the vile Nick Fuentes, I still watched his podcast infrequently because *occasionally* he would offer a unique perspective that, even if it was wrong, was intriguing and well informed.
But now he’s truly just making up BS. He’s not merely spreading conspiracies, he’s inventing new ones. Always, always about Israel. Sometime soon, I expect him to have David Duke on his show and start quoting ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’.
I will never watch him again, nor will I dignify his bile with any commentary going forward. I encourage everyone here to do the same.
Rubio “clarifies” his previous remark on the war:
“Rubio clarifies remarks, says US was not dragged into war with Iran;
“Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarifies remarks about the Iran war, saying US was not dragged by Israel into the conflict and that President Trump ordered strikes after concluding diplomacy would fail.”—

No doubt his detractors will “clarify” his “clarification”…

Both Tucker and Kelly appear to be hitting the AG1 pretty hard at the same time their brains are short circuiting. Coincidence?
