        Unless you think a war will rally support for a failing presidency.

        It makes perfect sense within the hermetically sealed world of elite foreign policy consensus, which has absolutely zero to do with anybody outside that world

        At least they are still trying to lie their way into the war instead of just doing it.

        That's only because you're thinking rationally. You need to think more in terms of "Jeff made fun of my car." Then it makes all the sense on the fucking planet. Heroin starts to make sense as a career choice at some point. We may be getting near.

        Independent of all the other stuff, these people have thought about how much messier the already unbelievably messy Syrian civil war gets if Assad loses his backer, right?
