If DOD “surprised” at Rice letter re 2002 AUMF repeal, its their fault. Clear Obama policy for > 1 yr. http://politi.co/1v5amLv
@KenGude That's interesting bc there were multiple times they should have revoked but did not. So why public disconnect? Maybe Hirsh right

@emptywheel they (white house) were struggling w how to do it. puzzled me why they felt so complicated. but Preston supported repeal at SFRC -
@KenGude THAT is actually fascinating. Why would it be difficult to repeal AUMF? Political issues? Dick Cheney? -
@emptywheel not that fascinating, alas. they were focused on process rather than politics.
