Today on TV the same generals and nat’l security experts praising Trümpf for his strategery in claiming he was going to wait 2 weeks before bombing … also believed Iran when they said the missiles fired at Qatar air bases were “symbolic” … and then believed that there was now a ceasefire.

It’s a bit more complicated than that, requiring an explanation of nearly 3 pages in Theodore M. Bernstein’s ‘The Careful Writer: A Modern Guide to English Usage’ (pp. 477-479), a close reading of which proves I’m correct. I highly recommend Bernstein for anyone who wishes to write well in English.
