Does everyone agree this White House Senate meeting is about "Here is why we have to go to war

11. I said no because

The word war in the traditional definition. If it was to get approval to launch ground-based military operations against North Korea the meeting would not have been delayed as long as it has. It would have been done days ago.

I also doubt that it is about an immediate strike against North Korea. If that were the case it would only consult the members of the Armed Forces Committee and head Republicans. The full Senate has too many voices that will want to be heard.

Do I think it is about North Korea and possible military options being discussed, yes. Likely this meeting is an attempt to avoid the Syria Fiasco of having so many senators say they should have been informed. The administration will claim this is a blanket announcement of any potential future strikes.

Also it is helping to establish a pecking order. He makes the Senate come to him thus he has peed higher on the tree.
