I believe (maybe getting conned) that is who he is at his core (when it comes to stupid wars). I think it's the Hawks from the Bush Administration he's surrounded himself with causing this head spinning flip flopping on war with Iran.

But he is the President. And he knew what he was getting into when he nominated Bolton (he spent years attacking him during the Iraq/Afghanistan war) et al.. So he can't be absolved of all blame. But I do think he is in between a rock and a hard spot (or whatever the saying is) when it comes to talking down the Hawks he's surrounded himself with.

Aye.  It's not the final decision...its the peek behind the curtain at the process such as it was.

A "leader" with no moral or ethical compass and only the barest of a "stance" on war who ALSO tries to project himself as a tough guy for his base.

In the end the right decision was made.  that we came within ten minutes of the wrong one because the POTUS didn't seem to know that people could die is what is wrong.
