You still haven't read #289.  There aren't "good and bad ideas" in play here.

Just random, undisciplined, situational reactions from a broken personality, shifting in mood from belligerent to fearful and back.

I will grant you this--from a strategic perspective, in terms of the goals Bolton and Pompeo have set,

if your goal is to provoke "aggression" from Iran so we can attack them to "defend" the US,

then yes, announcing the halt of strikes was a bad idea.  Keeping your mouth shut about your indecisiveness is much wiser than announcing it, and then embellishing it with random humanitarian criteria.

Tacking on a "humanitarian" motive, after you have spent weeks setting in motion events which may kill hundreds of thousands, just expands on your lack of awareness of consequences. 

As I say. moody. situational. Neither exercising some coherent ethical code nor sticking to the plan, such as it was.
