Why lie if the truth is better, Donald Trump? It ends up the rationale for killing Qasem Soleimani was not the truth. The secretary of defense verified there was not Intel but a just a strong feeling that embassies were in danger.
The apparent truth is Bolton and Pompeo wanted to take out Qasem Soleimani this summer. Trump said no at the time but put a conditional authorization if the Iranians killed any Americans. Two weeks ago an American contractor was killed by the Iranians and then the protect at the embassy. Trump gave the OK, then.
Why not tell the truth. Why lie.
