.... somewhere north, south, east or west of who knew. A typical Rumsfeld line of bullshit. Like the other "you know what you know but you don't know what you don't know and blah, blah, blah".

Two points.
1. Wag the dog when you're in trouble on the home front and want to change the subject.

2. There is a whole contingent of hawks that have wanted a war with Iran. Bolton's name is at the top of the list followed by Bibi, Putin and their puppet Trump.

Trump wants and needs to be a "war president" to deal with his political troubles at home including the 2020 election. A classic GOP move start a war to rally the troops. And put up a shield from attacks on the "war president".

Why do we keep falling for this crap.
