...it was an admission at all--but a made up story that they got together and decided would sell better to the American people after six service members died--something they did not really anticipate. So hey, let's come up with a reason that it would have been much worse and the six dead don't seem so bad. It could have been 6,000--so there....

It looks like clearly both Israel and Saudi Arabia had been lobbying the U.S. to strike Iran for months. And it is no mistake that our carriers moved so quickly to be in the region--the USS Gerald R. Ford coming all the way from Venezuela.

If the truth comes out I believe this story will fall apart like Turnip's marriages.

Israel doesn't do anything without the approval of its biggest ally and benefactor. Why would it?

The story that Israel was going to strike against our wishes and put American forces in harm's way is absolutely prosperous.

The Administration chose this war, and now they do not want to live with the consequences. But when do they ever?
