That's where we get into large numbers of boots on the ground in the uncontrollable hell hole that northern Syria has become. Of course, even the upper end of proposals from the Pentagon are likely to be nothing like the levels reached at the peak of the Iraq war deployments in 2007, when the United States had some 170,000 troops on the ground there. Still, there are numbers that are on the table, far short of those levels, that could still pose enormous risks now and in the future. And there are many in the Pentagon, even at the highest levels, who are delighted by this opportunity to demonstrate just what the American military can do if it is let fully off its chains.

Son prédécesseur, Michael Flynn , un général à la retraite, avait été forcé de démissionner la semaine dernière après des révélations sur des discussions qu'il a eues avec l'ambassadeur russe à Washington alors que Barack Obama était encore président. Il en avait caché la teneur exacte, y compris dans ses compte-rendus au vice-président Mike Pence. Donald Trump a pris sa décision après un week-end prolongé dans sa luxueuse résidence de Floride, au terme d'une recherche difficile qui a vu le président essuyer au moins un refus pour diriger son Conseil de sécurité nationale, le cabinet de politique étrangère de la présidence américaine, un poste hautement stratégique. Ni Donald Trump, ni H. R. Mc Master n'ont répondu aux questions des journalistes sur la marge de manoeuvre du nouveau patron du Conseil de sécurité nationale pour décider de la composition du Conseil.

So, you can’t work in a vacuum — you’ve got to work with everybody on it,” Mc Master said. In that same interview, Mc Master was serious about the threat cyber-terrorism poses to the U. S. “I think cyber-terrorism — espionage as we are learning — is a significant threat. The fact is the cyber-domain is a contested space every day already,” Mc Master explained to the Ledger-Enquirer. “The key question is, how does this fit into the overall problems of future war?”.

What Mcmaster Needs To Tell Americans

... public - and the military in whose name it serves - the goals and objectives of America's conflicts. Read More. Join us on Twitter and Facebook. Consider that only a sliver of a slice of the country fights 100% of its wars. Meanwhile, an anesthetized America remains safely removed from the relentless demands of constant deployments. This gap leaves America viewing its internal political chaos as a purely domestic matter, rather than a critical piece of the way the world sees American power, weighs it and judges it on battlefields across the world by people deciding whether to back - or back away from - US forces. In other words. America's internal discord quickly leaps beyond America's borders to touch and even shape America's wars, even if American citizens are too distant from those battles to realize it or too ill-informed about them to know they should care. We are at a critical moment. Right now, the Pentagon is drawing up new and dusting off old recommendations for Syria at the President's behest, recommendations that may include ...

The White House is running VERY WELL. I inherited a MESS and am in the process of fixing it.".

Last Man Standing

... Like Vice Adm. Bob Harward, General David Petraeus reportedly has withdrawn over the issue of being able to bring in his own staff. And Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, the acting NSA, is probably too old for a job this demanding, especially in this administration. That leaves just two. I don’t know about Bolton. I’d be surprised, though, if he fit the Trump template. Picking Mc Master is not a bad thing. I’ve known him since he was major. He’s smart, energetic, and tough. He even looks like an armored branch version of Harward. (That’s him, working out with a punching bag in Iraq, in the foto. I took it in the citadel in downtown Tell Afar one sunny winter day about 10 years ago.) (Btw, Harward was scheduled to appear on ABC’s “This Week” yesterday morning, but backed out an hour before airtime. ).
