History has shown that Trump was wise not to draw first blood.
“changed his mind”, media and others trying to make Trump appear indecisive.
But it’s the sort of leak that exposes our hand to Iran when we’re perched on the precipice of military action against a formidable opponent. That sort of leaking (along with the willingness to report on it immediately) is unconscionable.

Iran a formidable opponent? The neocons are spoiling for a needless fight over a drone. The American left is a greater threat to America than an Iran whose military has not had significant combat experience since the Iran-Iraq war of the late 1970’s, and whose population needs to be subdued against it’s current government. Let other governments protect their own shipping.
I’ve been wondering how much of the information that came out in the last 24 hours was to determine who may be internally leaking things from the Trump White House.
The head fake could also have been to gather intelligence on how Iran reacts in the face of an imminent threat.
Did you catch this?

I don’t think Trump is going to allow himself to be fooled in taking action like he did in his first year. He knows he was deceived by the CIA.
Don’t know for sure but just for arguments sake,those that think that America’s President does not have the stomach for unleashing America’s military might be right,OR they could be terribly wrong,he just might be asking,well punk,do you feel lucky? Or Go Ahead,make my day!

It’s apparent to me the Neocons/Pentagon, when asked by Trump to prepare a response, actually started moving forces way beyond what POTUS envisioned.
They were ready to strike within minutes of receiving the OK.
In the ‘big meeting’, Trump[ asked them what the plan was. He didn’t like it and told them: NO! You’re not going to start a war over a friggin’ drone!
After the meeting they ran to the press, because they are TRAITORS to the American people. They intend to make Trump look weak to undermine him politically, and hope that encourages Iran to escalate further.
Just so the War Pigs can have another war.
