The Biden administration also is (insanely) trying to win the support of both the pro-Hamas progressives/leftists, and American Jews and Israel supporters.

Progressives cannot be reasoned with (I regretfully used to support and defend them; now that's impossible). But I wonder if it ever occurred to any of the more centrists in the administration that if they need to appeal to Islamist terror supporters for their support, then maybe they should ask themselves what and who they really represent.

Trying to see the good from this situation: Iran saw the US, UK, and Jordan step up with combat operations. France and Saudi Arabia allowed their names to be included in the list.

Iran has to consider what kind of coalition could assemble against it.

Biden's unwavering support of Israel reminds me of McGovern's campaign (yes, I am dating myself).

Turned out that Thomas Eagleton (running mate) had been treated for mental problems.

As the press went into analysis mode, McGovern announced that he was 1,000% behind Eagleton.

But the press was relentless and McGovern's support dwindled.

When McGovern's support reached 100%, Eagleton had to withdraw.

Washington is where integrity goes to die.

Due to Biden's bumbling the chances are now near zero that this war will end "only" with the defeat of Hamas.
