This is just as concievable as the Iranian blame story.

It is not the first time a crisis was manufactured to get a country, or our country for that matter into a war. Remember WMD and Remember the Maine or Lusitania. One sabotaged by us, the other leaked intelligence about military personnel and equipment on board.

Politicians are not above sacrificing their own people as an excuse to enter a conflagration against a percieved enemy. All for the greater cause, ends justify the means. Pompeo and Bolton are cut from this cloth.
