    Oh, he probably knows the actual difference

    But this sort of mealy-mouthed dithering is intentional

    This way, when nothing changes, he can shrug his shoulders and say "Well, we tried for a ceasefire" and the braying jackasses at his heels can cry "Best president ever, look at how hard he tries!"

      I doubt he knows what year it is.

      Up until this, all calls for a ceasefire were shouted down as asking Israel to surrender. I think they're ass covering by saying "ceasefire and pause are the same" because it definitely contradicts their position from literally the previous day. I don't think this is 4D chess. It's Biden flubbing his talking points.
