In a statement Monday, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Mr. Trump made a “courageous decision” to take on a threat that no previous president had been willing to confront.
Few in the president’s inner circle voiced opposition to military action. Even Vice President JD Vance, a longtime skeptic of American military interventions in the Middle East, argued in a White House Situation Room meeting that if the United States was going to hit Iran, it should “go big and go fast,” according to people familiar with his remarks.

BS from this administration.
Looks like we were "forced" to go into this war, in the words of the Sec. of State himself. This administration is a clown show
After learning that Israel would strike Iran , posing an 'imminent threat' to US soldiers in the region due to retaliatory strikes, the US chose to 'act preemptively,' Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
Yes. Israel was going to attack regardless. So do you want to be on offense or defense?
The pretzel logic you ma-ga types uses is on scale with the pretzel logic the Far Left used during the campaign. Two sides of the same Coin of Stupidity.
I actually voted for Trump because of the stupidity and mental gymnastics coming from the Left to justify incompetence but now I see the same thing on the Right. I just won't even bother voting in 2028.
You have the same robotic people who excuse the worst and the incompetence of their side. I've seen enough to make me hate both sides.
“So you're telling me that our intel showed that Iran knew Israel was about to attack and our intel showed that Iran planned to attack the U.S. in retaliation and we couldn't stop Israel from an attack the would lead to an attack on our forces. Got it. Totally logical.”
Iran refuses Trump's appeal for a cease-fire throwing in the towel, pleading again as Trump did back in June. The 10th Wave of Missiles and Drones were launched today of old rusty stuff. Iran may deploy hundreds of thousands of indigenous made Crawlers into Israel, Doha, Riyadh next, which are three feet high four legged robots that climb mountains, rope, parachute, fire sniper rifles, throw grenades, etc.
“So you're telling me that our intel showed that Iran knew Israel was about to attack and our intel showed that Iran planned to attack the U.S. in retaliation and we couldn't stop Israel from an attack the would lead to an attack on our forces. Got it. Totally logical.”
this is the reason not to believe rubio's explanation of how the jews got America to attack. It doesn't make sense.
If the US didn't want Israel to attack iran, israel will not attack iran. Rubio is saying there was nothing the us could do to stop it. That's poppycock.
rubio was improvising and didn't think through what he was saying. rubio's goal was to say an iranian attack was imminent because the War Powers act insists an imminent threat is the only way to avoid congress. And this formulation makes an attack on the us appear to have been imminent.

it's nonsense. most likely.
Good point. Rubio is much smarter than Trump and knows he needs the legality of an “ imminent threat” to bypass congress. So he may have made one up.
Sheesh, watching Pete Hegseth speak is a great way to temporarily lower your IQ. “This is not a so-called regime-change war, but the regime sure did change.” Does he think people will actually find that clever? What a complete moran.
We are now up to 35 different conflicting justifications for this war. Here is one of Trumps queens real estate gurus that has turned into our chief war negotiator.
Witkoff: The manufacturer their own centrifuges to enrich this material. There is almost no stopping them, they have an endless supply. The 60% can be brought to 90%, weapon grade in roughly one week, maybe ten days.

The best diplomacy is through business. Do you think Witkoff negotiates better and is more respected by Middle Eastern leaders, or some trans freak in Biden's admin?
