i respect bob woodward and bob cost of i learned long ago not to believe everything he writes in his book is accurate. i knew things that were in there that were expressed as facts that were absolutely not true. but there are some troubling questions here. and when the chairman of joint chiefs appears before congress on september 28, he will have to answer them. he talked to the chinese in october and january, and investor haley is right. that s routine. but also routine is the chain of command. did he talk with his bosses, mark esper in october, acting secretary of defense of chris miller in january and say, i want to talk to the chinese and here s what i want to say? at whatever he, it accurately reflected in what bob woodward and bob costa had in their book and he s going to have answer those questions. if you talk to the chinese without going through the chain of command, having the
