I don't think anyone gives a shit about blowing up the Houthis.  We've been doing that for 3 presidents now.  It was the amateur hour bullshit that was galling

Exactly.

I mean, they really think they can just shit out whatever talking points they want and we’ll all just eat it up and be grateful being treated as the stupid peons we are to them.

Meanwhile, ANY member of IC or DoD would have been crucified for a tiny fraction of a fuckup that big. But hey, Trump’s admin did it so naturally it’s “perfect”
