Who the Hell Is Driving This Car Into the Briar Patch?

 It appears that the car could go off the cliff and leave the US in a briar patch.

 President Donald Trump’s dispute with unnamed Israeli officials appeared to come to an end as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted his country “acted alone” in its attack on the Iranian South Pars gas field. Prior to Netanyahu’s statement, anonymous Israeli officials told the press that the American government actually had advance knowledge of the Israeli attack after Trump himself said the U.S. did not know about the operation.

Israel’s strike on the gas field prompted Iran to retaliate against Qatar. According to Trump, Qatar was also unaware that the Israeli attack would take place. While Netanyahu promised to “hold off on future attacks,” the dispute highlights growing concern about a lack of a unified chain of command in the Israel-U.S. war with Iran....

The US and Israel have different objectives.  To the extent that Israel can cause trouble--such as bombing Iranian territory, thus creating more trouble for the US and its allies, and the energy infrastructure on which a big chunk of the world's population depends........

You see?

We also know that Israel loves to knock off Iranian 'leaders.'

So who the Hell is going to turn off the Iranian armed forces?  Dead leaders?  No.  

Israel has a strategic objective there:  The more chaos Israel causes in Iran, the better it is for Israel, which will have unfettered ability to create its "Greater Zion".  And the US will be mired in the briar patch, helplessly helping.

Great.
