I posted elsewhere that I'd be very surprised if Brandon even knew we had guys on the ground in Jordan. I'm being serious.

That, to me, strikes me as exactly the kind of thing his handlers would have kept from him. Because they would not have wanted to risk him leaking it as part of a rambling anecdote about CornPop or something.

I agree that it's still ultimately his responsibility, of course, if he's running an administration so incompetent that it can't handle force protection for guys on outpost duty in the desert somewhere. Or if he's got so little control over the Pentagon that they're making deployments without telling him. I'm wondering now how long we've had guys out on that OP.
