So they were close enough on who, what, where and why, and they lied about when.

The “four-out-of-five” defense … coming soon to an espionage trial near you.

Wait…if it wasn’t intentional, doesn’t that make it even worse? Saber-rattling without having an idea where our forces are and what they’re doing?

Just lost respect for Mattis.

I expect bullshit from Trump and Spicer, but for Mattis to stoop to this level is wrong and scary.

No one, even at the very top, is accountable. Horrible leadership and example for the troops.

“He added that the presence of tens of thousands of U.S. personnel in South Korea and Japan “gives me great confidence that the United States presence in the Asian Pacific is strong, and under President Trump’s leadership it will be stronger still.””

Whew - I was starting to worry. Thanks, Mike.

“We don’t generally give out ship schedules in advance, but I didn’t want to play a game either and say we were not changing a schedule when, in fact, we had,” he continued. “So we’re doing exactly what we said we were going to do. She will be on her way. And I’ll determine when she gets there and where she actually operates. But the Vinson is going to be part of our ensuring that we stand by our allies in the Northwest Pacific.”

That kind of word salad gives Sarah Palin a run for her money.

Wait a minute … wasn’t it Trump’s announced policy during his campaign that he wanted to pull all of our troops out of South Korea and Japan, leave them a couple of nukes, and tell them they were on their own? Sure it was. Who knew that foreign policy was so complicated?

No this world salad was carefully hand crafted, whereas a Palin word salad sounds like it was assembled by a toddler.

After seeing a clip of Pence at the demilitarized zone (with his wife in attendance no less) all I kept thinking was he’s not good at being an international diplomat…like really not good.

This whole round of drivel doesn’t really change my mind on that.
