    If this is correct, looking more & more like both Oct. 2020 & Jan. 2021 were pre-planned OSD mil-to-mil communication w/China. (Call arranged 1/4 = not reacting to 1/6.) Still think would be useful to clarify in a hearing, but story appears to have evolved a lot....

    DoD records show Gen Milley’s call was coordinated with OSD. On Jan 1 talking points for the call were shared with OSD. Jan 4 OSD coordinated the call. On Jan 6 the Deputy Assist Sec of Defense for China held a call with his Chinese counterpart. Milley call with Gen Li was Jan 8.

    The "access" (stenography) aspect of Woodward is a great contributor to his inability to assemble the facts he gathers in a way that resembles reality, and it goes right back to the beginning, when he was a conduit for a pissed off bureaucrat in search of a promotion.

    Bob Woodward once wrote a biography of John Belushi (of all people). Someone retraced his steps. It's a great run-down of the "issues" with Woodward: he doesn't lie, exactly, but he assembles the facts in so slanted and/or context-free a way as to be wrong

    Sources said that Mark Milley did not go rogue in placing the call to his Chinese counterpart. In fact, Milley asked permission from acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller before making the call, one former senior defense official told .

    The new Woodward book doesn't release until September 21, so it's six full days of defamation of General Milley before the story falls apart

    Wishing a meaningful Kol Nidrei and Yom Kippur to all observing. As a cherished rabbi once explained in a sermon: "It's the happiest day of the year. God's going to forgive everybody who asks, it's printed right there at the end of the prayerbook."

    Worth your time

    Very interesting column by even if I suppose I am one of those numbered among those judged negatively for their "terrible, icy consistency."

    Very much enjoying this fine late summer day of not being stupidly and unnecessarily at war with China because of an obnoxious presidential tweet disconnected from any real-world policy of that president's own administration

    As I read the reporting, it's not at all clear that Trump was uninformed about what was happening - or any more uninformed than usual. "He wasn't listening" is not the same as "he wasn't informed."
