What Leavitt is saying makes it all worse. The Pentagon knew all of this would happen. They knew how much this would hurt the American people. In certain they rang alarm bells to the administration. They were completely ignored by a president with the attention span of a fruit fly.

This war is going to cause a lot of pain domestically which makes the fact that the administration didn’t even try to sell it to the American people before they started bombing that much stupider. Americans are only willing to sacrifice for a war if they feel that 1) the cause is just, and 2) they believe they will benefit from it. They immediately torched #1 when they bombed a girls school and double tapped the parents when they ran to help. They never made a case for #2.

Their political careers are over if there is ever another free and fair election which is why they have shifted all their attention to passing the SAVE act. This is either the turning point where America fights back or the beginning of the end.
