How is the NY Times or any other media outlet printing claims of Iranian involvement "...playing up the fact that Iran is fighting us..."?
But if a military action was on the horizon then the administration would have to be revealing the actions Iran has taken against US forces in order to prepare the US population for that action. It could not be sprung out of nowhere.
There is no fear of attacking Iran wrt its activities. The real fear should be that we go into an action and have the lily-lived American people undermine and reject it. Our principle enemy is at home not in Iran.
Nor has there been much of anything that can be called real proof of Iranian government involvement.
They wouldn't have had anything to print if no one had made the "claims". Who is making the claims? I am saying that (unless we're planning a military response, which I doubt) those people should shut up for the time being - that is all I am saying. Can you really defend the notion that it's good for people to be blabbing to the NYT about this? If so, go ahead, but you haven't done so thus far. You've been arguing with me for some reason, without actually apprehending what I've been saying.

You are 100% correct. Therefore, this blabbing is fine if - and only if - a military action is on the horizon. But if not? Then it is stupid.
THAT'S WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING. Please stop wasting my time "arguing" with me if you don't have a real disagreement with me.

In other words, Iran - thus, anyone - can deter us via exploiting our political system and weak-kneed polity. That is not a good message to telegraph to the world. Is it? If you think it is, make the argument. If you don't, then PLEASE stop "arguing" with me because you don't actually have a dispute with me.

I disagree but anyway it's not worth discussing if we're not gonna do anything about it either way, which I don't think we are. Do you?
