    Meaning .. concise or to the point.Let's also understand that
    " If men were angels there would be no need for Government. "
    So when Senators were Briefed on the Strike that took out General
    Soleimani, two of which were very shocked { Mike Lee and Rand Paul }
    ir came as a bit of a surprise.Not Paul { He's a walking Dove and that's 24/7 }
    But Lee { who was considered as a possible Supreme Court Nominee } had
    a lot to say about the hour long briefing.None of it pleasant.
    But go back to this ... " If men were angels, no government would
    be necessary " -- James Madison
    Nancy Pelosi was Briefed thoroughly back in Sept. of 2002 on
    " Waterboarding ". She sat and keep her mouth shut about it.Knowing
    full well what it entailed.Not until later and especially in her bid to run for
    the House speakership did she go literally bat crazy over this " Waterboarding "
    bidness.She then later was forced to eat her words about it.She started
    a Lying campaign about what she knew and when about " Waterboarding "
    asserting that she was briefed in Sept. of 2002 and told it was legal but
    had not yet been used.The CIA Differed with that.They insisted that she was
    told about it's use but she apparently had a faulty memory on the matter.
    Pelosi went so far as to hold a Press conference accusing the CIA of lying
    about what she was briefed on.It was her word versus the CIA's word.
    So much for briefings.Let me be Brief ...
    If House Democrats were angels there would be no need to use
    a Confessional.I digress.Pelosi is a Catholic.I wonder how she manipulated
    her way in and around confessing her sins.
    There is No way it's a sin for what Donald Trump did to General Soleimani.
    In fact it was a saintly move.A true blessing in and around the Middle East.
    No amount of briefings are gonna change the color of a Mortal Sin.
    Trump deserves a Medal for what he done.Plus the Nobel peace prize.
    Mike Lee deserves to go sit in the corner on a 3 legged dunce stool
    and stew.

    A Wag the Dog use or tact usually involves a News Cycle change
    that is basically only intent.No real result.Just a headline for dynamics.
    By diverting attention away from a greater News Cycle { Impeachment }.
    What Trump's strike or assassination of Soleimani did was a TOTAL
    game changer.It revolutionized the way Iran has got to deal with
    the United States and also petrified them.Which is precisely what it
    was meant to do.Meaning,Whoever replaces Soleimani will have a
    guaranteed target on his back nearly 24/7.Good luck trying to organize
    Terrorism with that monkey on yer back.

    No doubt, he was terribly worried about the Senate trial.

    Wag the Dog was Obama deflecting from the unpopularity of his fascist policies by violating Pakistan's sovereignty to kill a geriatric who was no threat to anyone ,,, after 2 Presidents refused to violate international law.

    " Wag the Dog " was first used by Bill Clinton { Slick Willy }
    as a way to deflect from his mounting scandal with Intern Monica Lewinsky.
    The Film - Wag the Dog - { full release } occurred on January 9th,1998.
    Where Robert De Niro played a dirty trickster.Showing politically
    how Art { Art who ? } can imitate life.

    The Levites? Briefly, I don't think they do.

    If you have other information a brief briefing might be in order.

    Forget the Briefs for the moment.The Democrats and those illogically
    un-American California pols like Jackie Speier who have just what they
    craved.Yet another hook to try and bag Donald Trump.That's HE'S
    the one responsible for the downed aircraft killing all 176 passengers.
    That HIS sabre-rattling incurred unnecessary " collateral damage " from
    his provocative actions.Adding that HE " needs to find a way to use our
    allies ... ". WHAT. HUH . Like Iran is some ALLY.Like since when Miss
    Speier.Considering Soleimani merely a " bad actor ".
    NO ... that is YOU and yer Craven Unamerican and despicable Democrat
    Party.Why don't you explain for us how YOUR Party { democrats }
    saber rattling almost 24/7 over virtually everything Our Duly-elected
    President says and does.Go ahead explain that You Miss Benedict Arnold.
    With the Rich girl coiffured hairdo." A little dab will do ya " eh ?

    WWIII is nothing to sneeze at.Especially given I don't believe
    the public has ever seen Donald Trump sneeze.
    Of course I don't believe the public has even seen Donald Trump
    whip out a comb to comb his hair like them guys in Sha Na Na.

    according to chess, invented by iran, they take a pawn for a pawn and a bishop for a bishop.

    in the art of the deal they use the same tactics as in the art of war.
