I'm no pundit but it seems to me that the real reason we started the war was due to pressure from Netanyahu. The many justifications were post hoc rationalizations.

And more distraction from Epstein files but I agree that allowing Bibi to run our country was #1 cause.

You have such a way with words. And once again, you’ve nailed it!

Moving the goal post is this administration’s modus operandi with everything because there is no goal except self aggrandizement. This column is spot on. Thank you.

To paraphrase the great Oliver Hardy, “Well, here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten us into”. A mess created when a president who thinks he is a genius and a SecDef who feels a warrior mentality combined with high testosterone levels will bring about instant victory decide attacking another nation is a good idea.

I'm no pundit either but could there possibly be anything to obfuscate any discussion or release of the Epstein files.

Dept of War burns down the house to make their neighbor open the door, then flails in the charred remains to a tawdry dirge about leverage.

The Generals knew before this war started that this is where we would end up. But this administration doesn't care. A distraction from the Epstein files, a distraction from Gaza, a distraction from Ukraine, and big push from Netanyahu. They don't care about our troops, and they don't care about the people in this country.
