As if we’re not going to go in, anyway. Pure theater.

This whole “it doesn’t have to be like this” type of narrative is a farce. The administration is so obviously itching for a reason to go in, they just haven’t made up their mind on which lie they’re going to try to sell the American people with. They’re just trying to lay as many “ground rules” and trip wires as possible before they make their final ultimatum in bad faith, before launching the invasion. Casus Bellei.
