ホワイトハウスの内部は、バノンを筆頭にした頭おかしい組とそれに抵抗する勢力とでカオス状態、重要情報が次々とリークされてくる。トランプが大統領として最初に指示を出した軍事作戦は最悪の結果に。彼が指示を出した時、コマンダー・イン・チーフはろくにブリーフィングも受けずディナーの最中。TrinityNYCさんが追加

これは、かなりスゴイ情報ですね、ここで終わらせてはいけない。Leaks throw Trump White House into chaos https://youtu.be/LUlTBijnEX0
ここらへんも、現在、トランプバッシングに躍起になっているリベラルメディアの潮流に乗っているんでしょうね。
Don't Politicize the Failed Yemen Raid
America cannot punish its elected officials for allowing its military, diplomatic corps, and intelligence services to take risks necessary to pursue its interests.

This raid, according to The New York Times, was approved by and recommended to the president by his secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. For the recommendation to have gone forward to the president, the senior leadership of the Department of Defense would have signed off on this operation. And for that to have happened, special operations and regional U.S. commanders would have had to have blessed the planning that went into the operation itself.
My experience as a senior Department of Defense official in the last two years of the Obama administration leads me to the conclusion that the way we did things—with the military required to provide a “CONOPS,” or concept of operations, to be picked over by deputy cabinet secretaries and usually the secretaries themselves prior to being forwarded to the president for approval—was slow and ponderous in a way that created real opportunity costs and denied subordinate commanders the flexibility to exploit opportunities they saw on the battlefield. Yes, it eliminated a lot of physical and political risk, but in doing so it negated one of the primary advantages the U.S. military enjoys, which is a highly trained and capable officer corps in the field that can exercise independent judgment.
At one point toward the end of the Obama administration, cabinet secretaries—cabinet secretaries!—were literally debating whether or not it made sense to move three helicopters within Iraq and Syria. That decision should have been left to the very capable, very experienced commander on the ground, U.S. Army Lieutenant General Steve Townsend.
America cannot punish its elected officials for allowing its military, diplomatic corps, and intelligence services to take risks necessary to pursue its interests. It’s true the president is ultimately responsible for everything his or her administration does and fails to do, but it’s not helpful for the default reaction when something goes wrong to be immediately elevating the blame to the office of the president.
Americans have to allow those men and women to be aggressive, to take risks, and to, on occasion, fall short. And we cannot immediately blame the president if and when they do.
軍隊のお偉いさんから推挙された作戦に署名し、あとは現場に任せる、というのは、合理的な意志決定方法であり、オバマ政権の意思決定方法が最善とはいえない、と。
それ以前に、オバマ政権下での、

イエメンでの市民虐殺とのきはなぜ、怒らなかったのか、というまっとうな意見もあるわけですねーーーなんでそこらへんが指摘できないのか？
日本人というのは、アメリカを遠くからその全体をみられる立場にあるのですから、アメリカの軍国主義に無自覚なリベラルー中道左派程度なんでしょうかねーーと同一の視線をもつ、というのは、もったいない、というか、危険だろうな、とも思います。
日本の過去の軍国主義は批判的で、保守にせよ、リベラルにせよ、アメリカの現在の軍国主義に批判的な目を向けられない、というのがよくわからないところ。
