Badly executed, and unprofessional that it was a discredit to the office of the president and the white house and the voters that put the man in office. Input from the people that normally have input in this . Whether it be congress, general mattis. Is that accurate . Privy to any more information than the average guy in washington but it seems fairly clear from the output but the incoming secretary of states team or anybody else involved, there were no briefings done for capitol hill. This was done in exactly the opposite way that almost anything of this kind. Was there a reason for doing that . Could they have talked to people and got them in this process earlie is always tension between wanting to do what you promised. Mr. Trump has very clearly signaled that he made promises during the campaign and he wants to keep them. We applaud that. We dont need politicians that lie to the people. That is all to the good. The question is how. Failing to appreciate what the blowback is going to

I was wondering what your definition was. Im thinking of edward snowden. My dear brothers and sisters, chelsea manning, my dear brother jeffrey sterling. Two in jail, one outside of the country.

Thank you. Your partner in crime, so to speak, sir malcolm talked a great deal. We talked about world war i and ii and this collective response to those threats. We are members of nato and as dr. Fox said with permanent members of the u. N. Security council, were leading members of the imf, the g7 and the g20, why is it that given our unique particular role in the wor
