Sometimes it seems like the talking heads aren’t zeroing in on the right issues. They harp on procedure, despite Trump putting procedure and protocol and proper channels in the rearview mirror a long time ago.
Everyone is insisting on having an exit strategy and an estimate of duration, re the war in Iran, as if war is characterized by tidiness and some sort of contractual agreement between adversaries (which usually comes at the end, after the carnage and ghastly loss of life).
It seems to me more appropriate questions might include, Why are we doing this? Is there anyone who knows the truth of the matter, Epstein, when it comes to motivation, midterms?
Do they have any concern for the well-being of the people who, most likely needlessly, are being put in harm’s way? Did they have the best intel going in? Could they not foresee, given the history of the region and the voluminous knowledge of Iran that already existed, that this incursion might be fraught with difficulty and serve as a catalyst for more widespread hostilities? Is Congress useful anymore? Does the black rain smell like victory? What role is Benjamin Netanyahu playing in this clusterf*!@? And is Donald Trump really just a doormat on which everyone wipes their feet?
Sorry. Inquiring minds want to know.
