85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. They did what he told them to do.
We know from over thousands of years of well proven military science - if military force is used, it must be used fully and effectively.
Reagan even attacked Gaddafi's tents. George Sr ignored the pathetic and defeatist Cheney and Rumsfeld to rescue Kuwait. Clinton activated the 82 Airborne to force Baby Doc Duvalier to resign - without having to deploy troops.
Leaders who play games using insufficient intelligence create disasters. George Jr, doing what extremists Cheney, Rumsfeld, Feith, and Wolfovitz speculated, surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban. Failed to do what any intelligent person knows is required - phase four planning.
Obama took necessary risks to get bin Laden. George Jr, when a similar opportunity exists (and the military wanted to do it), would not let the military do it.
If we attack Syria, it better damn well attack the problem. Not waste $100million on attacking 'trophies' to the greater glory of a world class dumb president.
Everyone knows where Sarin gas component are stored and what is necessary to weaponize it. Trump choose to surrender - not attack what was relevant.
Trump is a classic example of someone trained in business schools.
