It is useful to know that the Wall Street Journal is a Globaloney Outfit par excellence. Odd that Murdoch owns it AND owns the home of Hannity, but there you have it.
... The WSJ has an article out that highlights the truth that Trump largely winged his war, with no real plan, against advice, and under the direction of Netanyahu. He recognized he had failed early on, but now—as predicated by Professor Pape’s doctrine of the “escalation trap”—sees no other option that to … double down....
In another venue, Robert Barnes and Larry Johnson discuss whether or not Trump has gone off his rocker. Seriously. That's what Barnes proposes.
Barnes has always tended to be a bit buffoonish (U of Wisconsin Law grad) and desperately wants to be regarded as a "neutral" guy. He mentions that he voted for Trump three times. But he does love him some clicks.
Barnes also states--flatly--that JDVance will NOT run for President in '28. Is this a double-secret reverse-pin vomited out to hype the campaign of Rubio? Maybe. Barnes observes that Rubio is doing a disappearing act vis-a-vis the Iran negotiations.
UPDATE: That was then. This is now--and much more in accord with the Israeli/Hannity/Globaloney Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran WSJ of the Good Old Days:
... the Journal is suddenly in lockstep with the President. On Air Force One last night, President Trump said he might not extend the ceasefire with Iran if no deal is reached by Wednesday, and that he may “have to start dropping bombs again.”...
If Trump is truly "plan-less" or worse, mad as a hatter, why does the WSJ want him at the bomb-switch?
Egads.

One of the big news items of the past year concerned the fact that China, which we called "Red China," exploded a nuclear bomb, which we called a device. Then Indonesia announced that it was going to have one soon, and proliferation became the word of the day. Here's a song about that:
Tom Lehrer – Who's Next
First we got the bomb, and that was good, 'Cause we love peace and motherhood. Then Russia got the bomb, but that's okay, 'Cause the balance of power's maintained that way. Who's next?
France got the bomb, but don't you grieve, 'Cause they're on our side (I believe). China got the bomb, but have no fears, They can't wipe us out for at least five years. Who's next?
Then Indonesia claimed that they Were gonna get one any day. South Africa wants two, that's right: One for the black and one for the white. Who's next?
Egypt's gonna get one too, Just to use on you know who. So Israel's getting tense. Wants one in self defense. "The Lord's our shepherd," says the psalm, But just in case, we better get a bomb. Who's next?
Luxembourg is next to go, And (who knows?) maybe Monaco. We'll try to stay serene and calm When Alabama gets the bomb. Who's next? Who's next? Who's next? Who's next?
Gee. A Lehrer tune!! He was REALLY good....
But let's not let IRAN have a self-defense device......see my post of 20 minutes ago
