    I've been predicting this since Trump gave Mattis more control over own missions. OBVIOUSLY he was going to screw Mattis when it mattered.https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/923237809187622912 …

        He doesn’t get it. If @realDonaldTrump gives military authority to act, he retains responsibility for delegating authority. #BuckFlowsToTop
