i would expect to understand that this attack was going to happen. the cia director, bill burns, was in dallas at the george w. bush library. he didn't say israel should not strike. he talked about continuing on the path of de-escalation. i think that whether this is what the united states expected or intended, but that's what you're going to see the white house do, is try to keep this on a path of de-escalation. i know that the iranians have not reacted yet. i know the hope is that they also see this as a limited strike. that the banner in which their attack went down was seen as not something that was going to cause another escalation, and that that is how both sides here treat this attack. but the next few hours are very dicey, and that will determine whether or not -- how the iranians react to it.
