How do you guys function? How do you make judgments on a daily basis that (1) Require a smidge of rationale and (2) Are only slightly above a Heckle and Jeckle intelligence level? We don't want a war in the middle east. Trump is trying now to draw down the commitment so he can spend the money on making money. That's what he does. If we wanted war we would be blowing stuff up now. The Iranians know that and are trying to exert terror in the shipping lanes to get capital to trade for a loosening of sanctions. Damnation!

Members of our government are trying to push us to war.

They will say whatever it takes to make that happen.

Jerusalem and Riyadh also spend millions ensuring their views, are our views.

That seems unlikely, based on past behavior, and given what they’re saying internally.

The Iranians also enjoy generally positive relations with Europe, and this would scupper their divide and conquer diplomatic approach.

Pompeo referred to a “US government assessment.”

That’s strange.

An intelligence report is called an “intelligence assessment.”

It suggests that his claims have not been approved by the intelligence community.
