Yep. It’s worse than that Elizabeth. Both Eliot and eric worked in the bush administration before and after the Iraq invasion (and supported it after they left). Eric was like the number 2 (or 3) guy at state pushing it. He literally was in the room with the president going over war plans.

He was one of the men a family member described to me. This family member worked in the Pentagon and interacted frequently with Joint Chief of Staff. He advised his adult child to resign from the US Army rather than be sent to Iraq. His close friends inside the Pentagon knew the invasion of Iraq would be a disaster for the US and Iraq.
