Hegseth and Caine hold a presser which touts brevity and strength. How to weigh that is like a grand jury. With only one side talking, a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.

This is not to say any evidence to the contrary strongly or weakly exists.

Given our people at risk, the hope is the tone and tenor of the presser holds true.

But again, that one prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.

Both speakers emphasized fixed objectives and the intent to not get mired into a long standing stalemate. They both expressed the notion that we are not getting mired.

Let us hope so. That their statements prove accurate.

Democracy Now! Col. Wilkerson, Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff, paints a more equivocal picture including speculation Bibi and crowd will go nuclear if pressed too hard in suffering. The messages differ.
