So, it is Bibi's war.
Marco Rubio let the cat out of the bag. That's the problem when you slip up and hire someone who hasn't been a total putz his whole career -- he sometimes slips up and tells the truth.
Asked by reporters why the United States attacked Iran when negotiations were continuing about abandoning its nuclear weapons agenda and there was no apparent threat of an attack by Iran on the U.S., the secretary of state said in typical roundabout fashion that we had to attack first because soon after Iran was attacked by Israel, Iran would surely have attacked the U.S. as well as Israel.
Well, of course.
So, despite all the pretense of negotiations, Israel was going to attack Iran anyway. Netanyahu talked Trump, the peace president, into helping him in his battle for Israeli control of the region because "?
Well that's a good question.
It's clear the whole argument about nuclear weapons was a setup. Other negotiators from the region said a deal could have been made. So Trump quickly changed the stated goal to regime change. Kill the evil ayatollah and let long-suffering Iranians take back their country. Like this has ever worked anywhere. Trump himself has publicly said it doesn't work and, by the way, the Iranian regime goes well beyond the will of an 86-year-old man, now deceased.
Which brings it all back to Jeffrey Epstein.
Of course.
The reporting behind the reporting notes that Epstein worked for years as an asset of the Israeli Mossad, its intelligence agency. Part of his purpose was to get incriminating evidence of influential people in embarrassing, preferably illegal, situations. The object being blackmail.
Like maybe a video of Donald Trump raping a 13-year-old girl.
Bibi to Donald: "Look, big guy, I know you tore up the nuclear pact with Iran in your first term and I want to thank you for that for giving us an excuse to attack them again. And I know you got elected again by promising to be a peace president, not getting involved in protracted wars anywhere, not looking for regime change anywhere. But let's be real here. I know you'd really like to set up a Trump resort on the Mediterranean in Gaza and I'm doing my best to make that happen, but we both know how difficult it is, especially with half the world digging around in them, to keep embarrassing information in the Epstein files secret. Heck, I wouldn't put it past some intelligence agent somewhere from leaking stuff to the media. Some people would probably pay for it. I mean, videos of old men and young girls doing things they shouldn't do together could really damage someone's life, never mind reputation. I'd hate to see that happen to anyone.
"By the way, we will be attacking Iran on the morning of February 28, if you care to join us. No holds barred. Let Hegseth rip his shirt off, drink beer and go crazy.
"My people will be too busy fighting another war to throw me in jail. I'm sure you can identify with that. And you can get to say you killed the ayatollah. It's a win-win."
