Global affairs journalist David Rothkopf wrote today in The Daily Beast: “Not since Vietnam have we seen a more systematic effort by an administration to lie about the nature, costs, consequences, and results of a war than we have seen from the White House on Iran.”

They've painted themselves into a losing corner and won't admit it so they continue to do everything they can to deflect and deny reality, extending things out further and further. And to think, if only Trump hadn't pulled out of the original Iran deal, we'd never be here. But that would just be too easy and too sane, now, wouldn't it.
