Trump really ticked them off by failing to leak the decision far enough in advance. Unforgiveable sin by the standards of inside-the-beltway media.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Wooooo!!!
Re: Trump Thread
Trump desperately needs a war to fill the 24 hour news networks with lots of great footage of buildings being blown up and "bad guys" being shot. Then internal opposition can be branded traitors... So really he needs the trigger to be a domestic terrorist attack. ABC stuff.

I get that FOX is a joke, but that doesn't mean that using comedy shows as your primary source of political commentary is any less stupid.

Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

Re: Trump Thread
All? Of course not. But petulance over such things has always played a role inside the beltway. There is a tendency among many of us, especially politics junkies and policy wonks, to emphasize the rational and downplay the human and irrational -- if for no better reason that the human and the irrational are so much harder to predict and evaluate. But we should remember that all of those involved are very human individuals -- for good and for ill.
