Why did he wait until 10 minutes before the strike to ask that question?

Answer: He didn't.
John Amato at C&L notes that Trump's alleged decision-making on the Iran strike doesn't pass the smell test:
As many journalists and analysts who cover the military know, the CONOP briefing includes a casualty assessment before getting approval.
CNN's Sam Vinograd has a great Twitter thread on this:
We still don't know why he called this off at the last minute but it's more obvious than ever that he's likely going to make a very big mistake in any crisis. He is simply incompetent.
But he's very proud of himself:
Amato also caught George Conway, the husband of the president's senior adviser, speaking truth as well:
Amato also caught Fox and Friends this morning.
Oh no:
This is bullshit. War with Iran would not be a walk in the part. It is not Iraq, and that wasn't a walk in the park either.
