I heard an interesting comment about the rocket attack on, of all things, the financial report this morning on WCBS News Radio out of New York City. Wall Street has its own military advisers and analysts (I guess because they decided they couldn't trust anything coming out of the government) and apparently the consensus among them is that the attack was deliberately aimed to fall short of killing any personnel as a kind of "de-escalating" response which was intended to simultaneously placate demands for retaliation from the Iranian people while not actually giving the US a valid excuse to return fire -- and making it look bad if it did.
