Wagging the dog

Oh, good, another American war by presidential whim, another war we can’t possibly win, this time backing our own enemies.

The only possible explanation for this new catastrophe-in-the-making is that Wormtongue is wagging the dog, as the old movie title went, trying to divert attention from the scandals engulfing his administration.

UPDATE:  It will be amusing to see if congressional reassertion of its sole right to approve military force will have any effect on an administration already run amuck.
