No argument about your comments but the current situation is worse for the US and better for the Iranians than before Feb 28.

Though I was much in favor of the attack on Feb 28, I was not privy to the information that Trump was. I have learned much since then and now consider it to be the worst foreign policy blunder of my lifetime and, perhaps, worst on the history of the US.

The decision to go to war was made against the advice of the intelligency community and nearly all of Trump's advisors, including Vance. He was advised that the regime would likely not collapse, the Iranians would close the straight, and that air power alone would not eliminate Iran's ability to attack shipping and neighbors.

Trump "knew better."

What a debacle.
