>if you were arguing they need to be attacked again based on the reasoning used to attack them, then sure, I never argued otherwise
At least you're being logically consistent, even if I don't agree with the logic.
We are not getting that same logical consistency from the Trump administration. The circumstances that were used to make the case that we were past the point of diplomacy and the only option left was immediate military action are still in place, but now suddenly they aren't an issue.
So why was the bombing necessary in the first place? (Rhetorical, not expecting you to repeat yourself).
The more likely scenario based on the circumstances in the region at the time to those of us not willing to give Trump or his administration the benefit of the doubt is Donald Trump ordered a bombing campaign against a sovereign nation, risking military retaliation and being dragged into another regional conflict, at the behest of Benjamin Netanyahu in order to help bring an end to a war he began by bombing Iran two weeks ago.
And at a time when Republicans are slashing government programs left and right with broad strokes and debating selling public land to pay down the debt, the idea of spending a few billion dollars on a bombing campaign ordered under false pretenses in service of an antagonistic, divisive foreign leader is particularly egregious.
>My point this entire time has been that you or whoever I have been arguing with are conflating "evidence of actively building a nuclear weapon" with "evidence of making all the components to build a nuclear weapon"
