...very stupid. Sounds like they are fearful of the American citizens' response to the action. Rubio always looks dazed--or bored--and I kind of expect that, but the others are all now very defensive. Not against Iran, but against OUR reaction.

We are at war. If the situation were reversed, we would be mobilizing right now. You can't fly thousands of miles, drop many specialized bombs, then come out and say, Oops. It's ridiculous for trump or vance to say that we are not. This is something you say when you want to control their reaction.

But, they can't. Iran made it clear that we would be at war with them if we did anything to them.
