"when we weren't looking" sounds like a cop out

We were looking, just not there. There was literally no preamble to this war, Iran wasn't even in the news.

Not like every other administration was harassing them and trying to goad them into war.

Graham senator guy has been goading for a war with Iran since 2010 or even earlier

Who? I don't think the US Senate voted on the Iran war. IIRC Trump just did it and Congress was like "this is fine 🐶🔥"

I believe the preamble was when we elected a pedo, and then news came out that, SURRPISE! He's a pedo.
