What if the US wanted to strike Iran and blaming it on Israel is the best way to justify it (to the rest of the world)? Both countries have been longing for reasons to take out the current regime. This seemed like the best opportunity to do that.
Exactly it's infuriating.
As for ensuring the administration is quoted fully, I like the approach this account takes using his exact words but without his voice. It really highlights the insanity / absurdity.

So why do you think Rubio's attempt to frame this is soooooooooooo damned different than all the "reasons" Trump has given?
I believe this is what's called "sane-washing":
Ignoring all Trump's crazy shit, to imply that Rubio's less crazy...
The logical thing to do then is prevent Israel from striking Iran. Funny how the idea of the US forcing Israel to do anything, or not do something, never seems to come up.
Unlikely except in very small numbers. On the ground to do WHAT is the...
Sadly, I think this is mostly correct. Netanyahu may be a slimy little guy, but (like the other slimy little guy: Putin)

I think what he did say is worse.
(Admittedly off topic, but) Nayriha's account was well-publicized and was no doubt influential in shaping some perceptions, but the main justification for military action against Iraq at that time was its invasion of Kuwait. Hussein didn't do...
So, it took less than 1/2 day for Trump to prove me correct. The Rubio excuse of 3/2 is already trashed by the one who can't stop talking:
"I might have forced their hand," Trump said. "You see, we were having negotiations with these lunatics...
I'm opposed to religion as much as anyone else here. I also understand that at least some form of religion plays a role in almost every country's political/social landscape. I disagree with most religion-inspired policy, but I feel like I would...
Well, Rubio's presser struck me because his reasons for going to war seem different from the reasons Trump, Hegseth, and Lindsey Graham have articulated.
There are also apparently military commanders telling their troops this is a Christian war...
