Carlson is busy wasting our time while he attacks a straw man. A one-off killing in the national interest is not a war.
Remember Reagan doing the same with his jet attack on Qaddafi? Reagan delivered a message by special courier

Heck, Reagan did even worse than what Trump did. In 1988, our Navy DESTROYED half of Iran’s navy in Operation Praying Mantis.
This happened when the guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts struck a mine while deployed in the Persian Gulf.
For those who don’t remember, read this:

I like Tucker generally but agree with your take: “Carlson is busy wasting our time while he attacks a straw man. A one-off killing in the national interest is not a war.”
In fact, I think Trump’s approach will provide us with more flexibility and a greater ability to limit our involvement in Iraq. He is forcing the Iraqis to choose sides. If they choose the Iranian side and ask our troops to leave, well that is exactly what Trump has wanted to do all along. And without our troops in Iraq exposed to attack, we will have less at risk and be more free to strike Iranian targets with greater impunity. The point is that not every use of military power is a precursor to a quagmire. Tucker is unhappy about the prospect of a ground war against Iran that is not going to happen
