But they keep trying.

I consider it a good thing when the War Party is forced to defend its warmongering in public, like with the Junior King or the "51 Diplomats", but it doesn't mean they will go away, far from it, they get more strident.

But this effort here is probably framing the debate for the next President, who will get the bums rush for war as soon as he or she hits office.

And that leaves Obama with an incentive to settle things now.
