I have a friend, former CIA officer.
who was at the White House this morning talking to his friends.
And he says that a decision has been made to attack Iran on Monday or Tuesday.
The president yesterday gave the Iranians 10 days to to
accept our proposals for an end to their ballistic missile program, an end to their uranium enrichment program, an end to supporting groups in the Middle East like Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis.
But he's done this before.
Well, he'll give you 10 days, he'll give you two weeks, and then he'll just attack two days into it.
he thinks that that keeps people off balance.
And so he said that there are battle lines, that the anti-war forces are J.D.
Vance and Tulsi Gabbard.
He said that the pro- That's it.
That's it.
He said the pro-war people are led by Marco Rubio and include Pete Hegseth and now the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
And I stopped him on that point this morning and I said, wait a minute.
I said-
During the Iraq War, at the start of the Iraq War, the most stridently anti-war component was the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
They were always the last ones that wanted to attack because they know what war is.
And he said, ah, but you forget, Trump has replaced all of the Joint Chiefs this year, in the past 12 months, which I had forgotten.
Tom, what do you think?
What would he say?
