  • He contrasts this with past administrations that still publicly defended interventions on Sunday shows.
INSIGHT

Obliterated Then Imminent Creates A Credibility Gap

  • He highlights a glaring inconsistency: the White House said Iran's nuclear program was 'obliterated' months ago yet now claims an urgent threat.
