Margo Kingston added,
@nedprice what constitutes initiation when the president has suggested he would consider pre-emptive strikes?
I have no doubt the DoD statement was carefully crafted, unlike off the cuff remarks from POTUS (which Trump advisors are backing away from)
I think "destruction of its people" is pretty aggressive language and "initiates" is vague in current environment
I defer to your expertise on what DOD is trying to say, but I'd submit it might not be read that way.
