There are times when I get the same uneasy feeling I got when I was watching the taking of Baghdad in the Iraq War: the White House hadn't really thought out what they were going to do if they actually succeeded; the sight of troops idling about, waiting for not-forthcoming orders was disturbing. There is the same feeling of incertitude surrounding the current situation: no one really seems to know what they are doing and, those who may have a firmer grasp on the situation seem to marginalized by more White House-centered political concerns. Added to this is the fact an astonishing number of critical appointive vacancies at State, DoD, intelligence, and other key departments have yet to be filled (the highest number of any new administration), and one wonders if the US might just find itself in a serious crisis due not to any outside threat, but more due to the ineptitude of our own internal government...

This particular brouhaha was caused not by the Trump Administration, but by the Media trying to drive the news rather than just reporting it.
