President Trump asserted on Thursday that he had no plans to commit ground forces to the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, even though he has acknowledged he is contemplating moves that could drag the military into land combat operations.
Mr. Trump’s comments still left some room for him to reverse course.
“I’m not putting troops anywhere,″ Mr. Trump told a reporter who asked about using ground troops. “If I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you.”

Read my lips.
get a life
Of course Trump is going to leave wiggle room. Any President acting as CIC would.
The rats at the NYT know troops is a hotpoint so they want to keep it floating in the air. A CIC cannot rule anything out or in while engaged and the bastards know it.
Deception in warfare is the standard strategy that has been used since Adam and Eve.
Any leader would be a fool to loudly proclaim what his plans are, but there are strategies that involve that at times.
Read my hips, you mean.
The average criminal, gang member, illegal alien, and related jackwagons on American soil are greater threats to the life, liberty and property of citizens here onshore, than the Iranian governing and military losers over there.
“Read my lips”
“If I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you.”
Except those groups don’t have nuclear weapons and the desire to use them.
You mean, like WMD from Saddam?
Or just like NK will nuke us if we don’t do X?
And terrorists are gonna blow dirty bombs in Manhattan?
And the latest one, you’ll die of Covid if you don’t take the shots, wear a mask, or embrace communism.
Neocon trolls and left wing authoritarians have tried boogeymen for decades.
Won’t get fooled again.
