We all know the 1st version imprints, and few notice the correction (or register it - the 1st more jarring version keeps its emotional intensity over time, the correct 2nd one fades in memory).

Cheap psychological chicanery. Look for more of this.

Sarah sez it was just a typo, gone way past Spicey now:

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday blamed a "typo" for a controversial statement issued late Monday that initially said Iran currently "has" a secret nuclear program — a conclusion that would have major implications for the Iran nuclear deal.

In the statement issued under Sanders' name, the Trump administration originally wrote that “Iran has a robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program that it has tried and failed to hide from the world and from its own people,” [....]

The statement was later amended online to switch to the past tense, that “Iran had a robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program.” On the White House website, the statement is published without a correction or other acknowledgment of the error, and a corrected email was not sent to reporters.

“We think the biggest mistake that was made was under the Obama administration by ever entering the deal that you referenced in the first place,” Sanders told reporters on Tuesday. “The typo that you referenced was noticed, immediately corrected and we are focused on moving forward on the safety and security of our country.” [....]

Docs are from Feb. 2016 & Bibi has cited no real evidence of Iran violating the nuclear deal::

Israel’s Mossad intelligence service discovered the warehouse in February 2016. Mossad operatives broke into the building one night last January, removed the original documents and smuggled them back to Israel the same night https://t.co/WNIXFPgRev

It is decidedly not "isolationism." It is straight up Kissinger's Spheres of Influence without the neocon frosting.
However much Trump is deciding things, I will repeat what I have said before. With Bolton and Pompeo, the loss of Flynn from the initial lineup of Hawkish dreams has been restored.

So this was something that would have come down earlier if the cops hadn't pulled the van over in Nebraska.

Ha'aretz, "1 minute ago" just published on Bibi's promised big TV appearance, changed the headline story to this, added a whole bunch of "related" links:

Rand Paul is the Libertarian who believes the feds should cut money on healthcare, coming from Kentucky, where half the population is on a federal healthcare program. Delusional, him and his base.

He feared the US Navy would send ebola plague ships back to infect us cuz Obama, and once suggested drones could kill liquor store thieves.

Rand is a multiyear joke at Driftglass for standing for nothing, and running away from everything.
