We have our casus belli, and if Mohammed "Bonesaw" bin Salman authorizes it, the United States will proceed to attack Iran. If we sit around clearly establishing facts and determining responsibility without spraying armaments all over the Middle East, won't the terrorists win?

The administration is throwing out unfounded allegations about who is responsible for the bombing of the Saudi refinery, and Trump himself has tweeted that he's ready to send the military into action the second Saudi Arabia (through bin Salman) tells him where to shoot the missiles (spoiler alert: Iran). As for what the media find credible, that's a mug's game as soon as the first shot is fired because "support the troops" or something.
