That, in itself, is disturbing. There shouldn't be any leaks in the DoD. I don't care what party sits in office, the one department that should have no leaks is the DoD.
Trump is gun shy. If Trump had been in Truman's shoes in August of 1945 ? The only things that would have been dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima were papers filled with empty threats. Fat Man and Little Boy would have been sent home.
So what do we think will be done? Seems like there will be some form of retaliation for the drone. But it will be one with no or very low chance of casualties.
Whatever it is my guess is it happens Sunday. Trump wants everyone talking about him on Monday on TV.
Agreed. I think Trump made a good call with not ordering the strikes. And I'm glad there appears to have been some serious debate within the administration about how to proceed.Ordering then cancelling the strikes is one of those things that should have been kept under wraps IMO. Not because it gives partisans something to scoff about, but because it makes us look indecisive to the enemy.
And FTR, I don't think the strikes should have been ordered initially. I don't think we've reached that point yet.
