1 Kings 1.1-4 came to mind this morning. For some reason a story about an old, declining king who needs a young woman companion seemed relevant.

The writer of the the 1st paragraph👇 doesn't look like a straight shooter. And the writer of the last lands a serious blow against a former superior.

But you're leaving out the sequel 👇, where Cardin specifies that he lacks "military expertise"--i.e. he can't determine how surgically Hamas is being targeted, which AFAIK per international law is essential to indicting war crimes ("judge and jury"). So AFAICT Cardin's...being reasonable.

Cardin: I’m saying I don’t have the military expertise to know how they should be surgically performing their military operations and whether they’ve used the best surgical approach to preserve civilian life, as well as accomplish their military targets. That’s not my expertise.
