"Reasonable discussion": Pentagon denies reports that official threatened Pope Leo

[24601]

15. Direct answer to your question is that I forgot none of the nuclear strike information and reporting from last June

I credit Leo with sufficient wisdom that he would have made that connection if that was his intent. But he did not.

"Iran" is not in his address. "United States" is not in his address - there is a reference to the "American Pacific Coast." That's not about Iran.
The three references to "Israel" relate to Gaza, suspension of humanitarian operations, and the two-state solution.

He spoke directly to the Venezuelan operation, which was about a week before his address. He spoke directly about the "desperate situation in Haiti,..."

He references Myanmar, East Africa, the African Great Lakes Region, Bangladesh, the Sahel, Nigeria, Syria, Mozambique, the Caribbean Sea, the Vietnamese authorities, Kazakhstan, Burundi and Belarus.

Leo has no problem naming the names where he intends to do so. Why then would Iran be absent from his address if he, as Salon says "directly addressed the U.S. war in Iran?"

This was bad reporting. They made it up. We just don't know why.
