Now I remember why I needed to stop wasting time, responding to your posts!
First, google "Rubio backtracks" to see that virtually everyone realizes that he changed his position radically after Trump contradicted him.
So, when you say: "I trust...
Because Trump exaggerates almost everything. He boasts. I've said this several times in similar threads. I trust Rubio's words on things like this.
Why do you all of a sudden take Trump at his word? You think Trump is giving you the truth...
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":

One can simply type "Trump contradicts Rubio," select "News" and restrict search to last 24 hours.

US strikes on Iran triggered by Israel's plan to launch attack, Rubio says | US foreign policy | The Guardian https://share.google/Jlx9h9OeYHVpN3QrT
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...
