I think that's exactly right. So that's why I don't think this is for PR purposes. What I do think it raises a question of -- as Iraq gets deeper into what looks like a civil war, and we then go in with a lot of air power against one side, do we look like we're taking sides in this civil war?
Gergen discusses the implications of U.S. military operations in the context of Iraq's civil conflict.

President of United States has not had a security briefing, or security briefing since October 2nd. I've never heard of any president, under any circumstances, come anywhere close to that, and been so derelict of the duty.
I think, basically, this is about power. I think he wants to cripple Joe Biden before he ever gets started.
I think the President isn't in some degree of three fall and it is people are looking four other strategies he got out of this.
I do think, John, increasingly, it becomes apparent that before people go to the polls on November 3rd, both Biden and Trump must come forward with their health records.
