      I can imagine the stuff Biden is hearing. Joe talking to natsec guy…

      “How hard should we hit Iran?”

      “At this juncture I think a strike in Iran itself leads to unpredictable and unfavorable outcomes.”

      “But we gotta hit Iran - right? Maybe we gotta wait a while but eventually. Goodness gracious - American prestige in the region is at stake!”

      They go to commercial and Biden says to himself “American prestige in the region is at stake. That’s true. That’s true!” Later that day before he boards his helicopter as the spinning rotors hum - he yells over the noise “American prestige in the region is at stake…”
